Thank you so much for these interviews, I’ve been going to raves since 2010 trance was and still is a big part of me and how I grew up. I finally released my first track ever and hearing these are very inspirational especially from a legend I’m glad I was able to attend ASOT trance back then and to be able to hear this now makes me excited for the next track that I’m working on, also working out/ going to the gym has helped a lot not just in music but life in general. Hope to see fellow lovers of trance at dreamstate!!!! Catch me at KSKY shuffling my heart out to my first love of music TRANCE!!!
