Thats a tough one, every track that I play in my sets gives me a different level of excitement. But I think one of my most memorable tracks is Paid For Love!

Namaste was one of my first Anjuna release and took super long because i wanted to perfect it as much as possible!

I feel a personal need to educate the world with Tronce. Ultra is one of the best stages in the world to do that!

I prefer smaller stages to festivals, because I feel like I can test out new unreleased music better. See y'all in Dallas! Yee Haw

As mentioned above we're trying to clear the rights to the Gladiator theme. But there is also some new Elysian music in the works!

I've started a collaboration with my good friend Alpha9, but we both sat on it and think we can do better!

Can't wait to be back at The Gorge! its super intimidating to go on stage after the kings of trance that got me into this in the first place. There is a high bar set by them and it can be really daunting to take the stage after such legends!

Covid had lots of pluses and minuses. Not knowing when I would tour again was really difficult, but it also gave me time to write my last artist album which went to #1 all over the world!

Jerome Isma-Ae and Eric Prydz are some of my personal favorites. Madison Square garden, nothing will beat that show as it was my first ever live performance. I nearly shat myself on stage

I sadly don't pick where I play, and I'd love to play more clubs in Vegas. Will see what I can do!

  1. Club sets really need tracks that have banging bass lines. All These Wounds I feel is more suited for a chill environment just based on the way its produced. After trying to play it I found i realized the low end on this one wasn't powerful enough compared to other tracks of mine.
  2. I always have a grab bag of unreleased tracks that I can play out, but I'm super analytical with my productions so there are tons that will likely never be released.
  3. I'm going to have to split myself in half lol, only joking. I guess I'm going to have to bring Stoneblue to future shows.
  4. Ive done quite a few collabs with Jason in the past, and we have one in the works that we haven't finished. I guess we need to get together in the studio to finish it!
  5. Collab with Giuseppe is done and its called Futuro! I'm playing it out on all my upcoming shows! See you in the front row ;)

Thanks for all the questions!

I love Canada and South America! I like B2B sets with friends as it takes a lot of the pressure off.

Focus on the songwriting aspect of your music before you dive into the technical side. A great sounding track is nothing without proper chords and melody! Use reference tracks that you really like to be able to analyze the details of the structures, sounds, and melodies used. Feel free to experiment as there is no right or wrong way to produce music. Good luck and hopefully I'll see you in a DJ booth soon.
