What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

Actually, everything that I’m doing right now and I did in 2011 is one big achievement. Living my dream!

What moments will you never forget?

Defqon.1 2011 was one of my higlights this year. I had the honour to play on the Blue stage and as I finished my set with ‘Be As One’, I pulled down the fader and everyone in the whole tent was singing along from start to finish. It’s moments like these that I dreamed of since I first started producing!

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

Adaro

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

There are a lot of artists I respect. But to name a few: Max Enforcer, Noisecontrollers and ofcourse Technoboy and Tuneboy. These are artists who always deliver top quality tracks which I love to play.

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Gold Records/Scantraxx! And offcourse my former label T!LLT Records is still doing a great job!

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

That has to be my own track, Waverider - Be As One. Ive worked very hard on this one and I'm very proud of the final result.

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Its hard to pick just one. But if I have to choose it would be Defqon.1 2011. No explanation needed I think!

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

When I was flying to Scotland for a gig I accidently made a picture of a girl from the cabin crew. She went totally nuts and I had to stay in the plane till everyone left to have a "father/son" conversation with the captain and co pilot about "the incident". All the other DJ's couldn't stop laughing. It was hilarious!

What do you have planned for the next year?

I’ve just finished two new solo tracks which I’m really excited about and I’ve got some cool collaborations coming up! I’ve finished a new track with Digital Punk called “Back 2 Life”. I've also finished a funky track with Audiofreq. And also a new collab with Max Enforcer is coming your way! Be sure to check out my schedule to see me playing in a town/club near you in 2012!
