I invite you to read the interview conducted only for Visions Of Trance. 1. What are your goals in producing trance music? If I can bring joy to other people with my music, I have achieved my goal.

Escapism; beauty; otherworldliness; connection... 2. How do you perceive the state of the current trance music scene?
