How did you first got into DJing and producing?
The first time I saw a DJ play was on TV, I totally fell in love with the art of DJing. I started playing piano when I was 6 years old and later on I started to work on my own tracks.

You just released “Zero 76” with Tiesto and the track has been floating on top of the Beatport charts and rocking dancefloors worldwide. How did you and Tiesto first came to realize the project?
When we first met each other, it was like an instant click. Like friends but also music wise. So we decided to put our thoughts together and collaborate.

I just finished a new track called “Encoded” and will be released in April on my label Revealed Recording including a Dada Life remix.

What is the current state of the Dutch electronic dance music scene now?
It’s been always big. House is one of the most important genres in Holland and will always be I guess. There are so many parties over here and such a good club vibe and I think that’s the reason why so many DJ’s come from Holland.
Name some of the best clubs you’ve ever DJed in so far.
It’s hard to name a few, but that would be: Pacha and Privilege in Ibiza.
What’s your idea of a perfect set?
When the vibe of the set totally matches with the atmosphere in the club and the mood of the crowd.
Name your most inspiring DJs and producers and why.
Swedish House Mafia, because they’re always try to do something different and the way these guys work and put out so many good tracks it unbelievable.
