Props to Cox and Bjarki n 2015 – and really looking forward to his own music in 2016
Tune of 2015
Oliver Koletzki – Iyéwaye (Hatzler Remix) [Stil vor Talent] by far. An amazing groove and the tune on this one does it proper on every crowd out there

Your best DJ moment of 2015
That must be Carl Cox playing an insane set at Awakenings during the ADE this year. Especially when the fireworks came flying overhead

Your worst DJ moment of 2015
Definitely the stage dive fail by showboy Aoki

Selfie pic of the year
Say what you want about EDM, but these guys get to make the best selfies out there…
DJ of the year
Again Carl Cox for me. He still really inspires many producers and artists like myself, not only by his music but also with his character and way of looking at the scene. His set at this year’s Tomorrowland was pretty awesome

Label of the year
Definitely Funk’n Deep. They have been releasing banger after banger this year. If they go on like this I’m sure they’ll grow out to be one of the biggest techno labels out there for sure
Best breakthrough producer
Jamie Fullick. This guy is releasing more and more very creative stuff. From melodic to hard thumping Techno. Here’s one of my personal favorites he produced

Best DJ argument of the year
Carl Cox about the new D2 kontrollers and working with stems. “I know I can beatmatch very good, but now I want to see how creative I can be with music”
Most annoying record of 2015
Bjarki – I Wanna Go Bang. A track you shouldn’t hear too many times because it’s so special, but man what an amazing banger to play in the clubs!!!

Best piece of studio kit launched in 2015
The D2’s by Native Instruments. These innovative machines have launched a completely new way of performing right from the start. I started working with them myself and I couldn’t imagine going back. It’s so much more fun performing with these and the possibilities are endless
Biggest loser of 2015
That must be Ten Walls for the obvious reasons we all heard about
New Years Resolution?
For the new year myself I’ve challenged myself to really conquer this new way of performing with stems. I really want to find new creative ways to implement the new possibilities in my sets and also into my own productions process with the idea of making stems in mind
