Tune:
“Heading up High” – Armin van Buuren ft. Kensington. A really well written song, great vocal performance and the original production sounds amazing. My buddy Tom Lord-Alge mixed it, multi-Grammy winner!
Album:
(R)EVOLUTION by Driftmoon (Abora Recordings). A daring and beautiful classical influenced soundscape that I had the pleasure of writing and singing a ballad song on called ‘Haze’.
Remix:
Winterburn (Craig Connelly Remix) Andrew Rayel & Digital X feat. Sylvia Tosun. Love how his main keyboard melody sounds and feels like winter, like cascading snowflakes blowing in the wind.
Producer:
Gareth Emery. I’ve always liked his tracks…would be great to collab with him one day…
Music Conference:
ADE. It’s great to have this annual tradition to hang with and see all my international music biz friends in one beautiful location… I love Amsterdam.
Radio Show:
A State of Trance. If a song is played on ASOT, it matters! Always a thrill to hear one of my songs announced by Armin.
Mainstage DJ:
Andrew Rayel. His energy during his sets is off the charts.
Club:
Amnesia Ibiza. Great atmosphere and I love the injection of live musicians such as Micah the Violinist.
Personal highlight of 2016:
Performing “Winterburn” (my song collab with Andrew Rayel & Digital X) during New York Fashion Week at designer Malan Breton’s show. It was a thrill to open the event with the orchestral version that composer Geert Huinink produced.
Your ambition for 2017…
Releasing a new Sylvia Tosun album on my label Sea to Sun which has just joined Black Hole’s label roster.
