Tune
Chace & Yellow Claw – Stranger.
This track is very unique, different from everything I heard this year. And it puts me in a good mood.
Album
Justice – Woman.
Justice has been my inspiration every since I started making music and before that. Hearing new stuff from them always makes me happy and this album inspires me once again.
Remix
Coldplay – Hymn For The Weekend (Seeb Remix).
great remix of a great original song. Love what they did with the lead and vocals in this track.
Label
Spinnin’ Records.
Not only because I’m signed with them, but I think they did a great job this year releasing all kinds of new music. They’re not afraid to release new genres and experiment.
Breakthrough label
Barong.
The fanbase of Barong, or Barong Family is already huge and truly dedicated. Awesome to see the fans appreciating new and innovative music like Barong is releasing.
Producer
Chace.
Original music, sounds and combination of instruments I didn’t really hear before. All tracks are refreshing.
Festival
Sziget Festival.
Amazing atmosphere, different kinds of music, people from all over the world.
Music Conference
ADE.
Always fun to have a lot of DJ’s and promoters from all over the world in my hometown Amsterdam. It’s always a very hectic, but also very fun week!
Radio Show
Hardwell On Air.
Hardwell always supports new music and by doing so he can create a hype around a track, which is really good for producers like me. I also like that he supports music he likes, even if it’s from a rival label.
MainStage DJ
Martin Garrix.
The energy is always insane when Martijn is playing. The crowds energy, but also his energy. Always makes me happy seeing him play live.
Resident DJ
Tiesto in Vegas.
Still working hard, playing in Vegas a lot of times a year. In Vegas it’s hard to stay relevant for the crowd, but he manages to do just that.
Club
Bassmnt in San Diego
A club with a great sound system and awesome fans/music lovers. A pleasure to play there as a DJ, because you can experiment with new sounds.
New Studio Equipment/Software
Synthmaster2
Great sounds and presets in this synthesizer. Love the analog sounding presets.
Personal highlight of 2016
Sziget Festival
My favorite show this year, because of the awesome crowd and the huge stage. One of those sets where everything seems just to be going perfect. Loved every second of it.
Your ambition for 2017…
World domination with my music haha! I want to produce more music and try to keep innovating my sound every single track.
