Alphaverb - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

Having my own 'AVIO stage' at B2S event 'Euphoria' Most artists that have released at my label (AVIO Records) preformed there and it will be in my memory for eternity!

What moments will you never forget?

Making over €1500 for charity by auctioning myself and ending up having a great party aswell.

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

Goldkind is an upcoming Hardstyle artist, that really impressed me with his latest tracks and of course new at AVIO Records; Masterflow has impressed me. I think you're also going to hear a lot from them in 2012.

Who's been the artist of the year for you?

Mainly judged on productions, as I'm not often able to see/compare other artists perform on stage. I think Ran-D has had a great year, and I'm still hearing a lot of progess in his tracks.

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Next to AVIO Recrds (obviously), I was really impressed by the work of Digital Age.

What do you think has been the best track of the year?

My own track 'Overdrive Ya Woofah' is without a doubt my favourite for 2011. It's so unique, but still very energetic. I must have played it in 90% of my sets last year.

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Very hard to say, as there have been so many great events like Defqon.1 Festival, Decibel Outdoor and BLACK. But I would say 'Intents Festival' was the best. As things were (again) so well arranged, it's a pleasure to play there every time!

What's the funniest thing that's happened to you?

Having 3 gigs in 1 night with 1 hour in between the first gigs, while the drive was about 1 and a half hours and 2 hours between the last two gigs which was a 2 and a half hour drive, but I managed to make that last one in time... still wondering how I did that.

What do you have planned for the next year?

New bookings agency, new musical 'experiments' resulting in new tracks/ remixes and more things that will be announced along the way. I also plan to actually start some of the collaboration that I've talked about with other artists.
