Dj Stephanie - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

Playing at Qlimax 2010; it was awesome! I will never forget playing in front of so many people at one of the biggest indoor hardsyle parties worldwide. I still get goosebumps when I think about it.

What moments will you never forget?

Without a doubt: X-Qlusive Italy 2011 in Amsterdam! I felt a bit stressed beforehand, due to what I was expected to do: a special raw set! Although I like a lot of raw stuff, the people know me for a more euphoric sound. However, in the end it went off and the crowd went nuts! I even had tears in my eyes.

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

The Italian up-and-comer Amazed is surely someone that impressed me with his remix of one of my tracks “Black High Heels”. He made a special raw remix (for my XQ Italy performance, haha) and when I first listened to it I was literally amazed! This guy really knows how to produce, so keep an eye out! I’d also like to mention Audiofreq, Although he’s officially not a newcomer (we all know him from his former alias ‘Bioweapon’) he impressed me a lot and I like his music very much.

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

Max Enforcer

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Titanic Records

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

Stephanie – Sicknite. Believe me, I had some sick nights with this one! ;) When I have to pick one that is not mine, then definitely “Technoboy – Re-invent Yourself”, that track makes dancefloors go wild!

What's been your favourite event of the year?

The Qontinent

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

Sleeping in a tent at Defqon.1 Festival, haha! I'm not used to camping, it was the very first time I slept in a tent. I was a bit scared about the idea to lay down on an inflatable bed so close to the ground with all the bugs and stuff. It made my friends laugh because it's pretty easy to freak me out :)

What do you have planned for the next year?

First, starting off with a new track and in the meanwhile, my collab with TNT that is called "The Mojo" will be released in Januari. Besides, I've got new projects to work on (a podcast and so on...)
