Kaimo shared a few points about his work. I invite you to an interview conducted only for Visions Of Trance. 1. What is trance music to you? Trance music for me is a feeling/euphoria. It really is a state (of trance) if you will. A moment where you can get lost and carried away and forget everything else. Was that too cheesy answer haha? 2.

Norman Remix 🎧 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊 "The Silence" by Mike Koglin is a legendary track released in 1998 on Multiply Records. It's one of the most euphoric trance productions ever and is so mysteriously interesting from start to finish. While the original is a great track, the version that caught the most attention was Matt Darey's Tekar mix. He infused it with breakbeats while still having that magical trance vibe, which is why it's still played to this day.  Mike recalls: "It was in 1998, around the time the first trance wave hit the UK. I remember watching MTV one night when I saw the original video for Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" and it occurred to me that the main melody would make a great trance tune. The next day I went to the studio ...
