1. What is trance music for you?

It's a genre where you can play all your emotions in one style and dance at the same time.




2. How do you perceive the state of the trance music scene today?

It depends on the place, there are places where there is not as much support as the main venues but it has changed dramatically in the last few years, however it is still one of my favorite genres.


3. What are your goals when producing trance music?

I always like to add something hardstyle, usually it's tech trance or uplifting, I always like to add something like screeches or hardstyle kicks, it's something I can't help.





4. Who was your inspiration to start producing trance music?

Mainly Indecent Noise, Sam Jones, Renegade System, Sneijder.


5. What song are you most proud of and why?

Without a doubt, "Fall To Dictators", the track has the famous speech by Charles Chapplin where he talks about freedom, and that was what I wanted to express at the beginning, the freedom that music gives us by expressing all our feelings about it.





6. Will your future releases be collaborations with other artists? Do you like solo productions more?

I like to make productions by myself, I have had bad experiences with collaborations and I really don't like it.


7. What inspires you to create trance music?

Seeing the public dance and feel your tracks the same way you feel them in your heart.




8. What hardware and software do you use to create trance music?

I use FL STUDIO, I like it because it's comfortable.



9. How do you perceive the influence of social networks in the professional development of a trance artist?

It's very important because social media has grown a lot, nowadays you have to be present in one of them, otherwise it's more difficult to make yourself known
in the whole industry.





10. Finally, what would you like to say to your fans?

We are working on a new album, so expect new music very soon and I hope to see you at some upcoming show, whether in the country or abroad! :)

The current trance music scene is fascinating and diverse, with trance fusing with other genres and inspiring a younger generation of artists. I enjoy hearing various forms of trance, from the deep, dark sci-fi journeys by Pico Boulevard and Enlusion to the more upbeat, chunky bass-driven style of HAWS (label).
