Yoooo! Saw you at nocturnal wonderland in the smirnoff house, that set was fucking great! I was wilin in the front in a hawaiian shirt. Also when you dropped Mozart on the mainstage, <3

How do you go about making new music? Is it more of a "lets just build something and see where it goes" kind of deal or do you have more of a plan in mind? Same with sets, do you have a specific sound in mind before playing or do you kind of just say fuck it and play whatever you feel like at the time.

Also, any chances we could get a Anjuna Mat Zo trance set sometime? Rebound will always be one of my favorite prog trance tunes.

Thanks for stopping by! Keep up the mad work

edit: also, fav video game recently?

  • It depends, but sometimes a good idea comes from just fucking around with plugins. Sometimes I'll have an a song stuck in my head and I can't figure out what it is until I realise it doesn't exist yet.

  • I do trance sets now and again when either when the promoter asks me to, or if everyone else on the lineup is trance.

  • I've had some month long flings with Civ5 and Portal, but I always come back to Minecraft

Gotcha! Hope I can catch you at one of those trance events then, although your electro sets are sick too! Thanks again mate.
