The Best Of 2012
The Tunes
Lemon ‘We Can’t Fly’ (Solarstone Pure Mix)
Wouldn’t normally include my own tracks in something like this, but its my favorite remix I’ve ever done, the Original is just incredible, inspirational in the best possible way
Alex M.O.R.P.H ‘Eternal Flame’ (Reach Out For The Stars Mix)
Such a stunning Pure Trance track from the man Morph, this is simply perfect, beautiful & melodic trance music.
Paul Van Dyk ft. Plumb ‘I Don’t Deserve You’ (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix)
Female vocal trance tracks don’t get better than this, Giuseppe’s remix is genius – massive reaction each time I drop this.
The Festival
Luminosity Beach Festival
Literally blew everyone away
The Club
Mandarin Club, Buenos Aires
Giuseppe Ottaviani and I had an amazing time there in November 2012, everything about it is unbeatable. Also after 2 previous disastrous gigs the 3rd time certainly was a charm
The Producer
Konektiv
This guy is inventive, original, dark, mysterious, and release on my Molecule Recordings label. One to watch
The Hero
Boris Johnson
The best PM the UK has never had. I hate politicians, I like Boris
The Breakthrough Artist
Tenishia
Great to see them rising and rising from humble beginnings in Malta. They are the Malteasers to me
The Prediction For 2013
Pure Trance will become continue to grow and become a genuine alternative to the mainstream trance scene. My other prediction is that the DJ Mag Top 100 poll will continue it’s demise, becoming even less relevant to the club scene than it is already, and promoters will no longer regard its results (based largely upon fake votes), fake likes, fake views or fake followers as benchmarks of a DJs profile or subsequent success
