Released in 2017 on Black Hole Recordings.  It’s a well-known truth about trance music that every producer worth their salt of the sea has a Mediterranean-inspired track somewhere in their body. On this track, you get Balearic for a whole eight minutes. The track evokes a season like no other. Wailing orchestral violins hang in the background, only to be joined by a more prominent, guitar-based string theory.  From there, in a raft of fluttering, shimmering synths, a measured bass and countless broken sub-harmonic elements develop the summe...

In those early days of DJing, he was one of the few who defined how records could be mixed, adding a talent that went beyond playing other people’s music. His sets created new music on the spot, as if DJing was his own art form. At the time he was radical and attracted an obsessive audience worldwide. In 2002 he released his best album called "Airdrawndagger".  It is on this album that you can find the legendary t...
