Pre-Interview Post: Johan Gielen [Submit your questions]

Last year the Holland forum had initiated to interview some Dutch DJ's.

At that time I planned to interview Johan Gielen because he lives only 10km from my place, but it never happened. Last Saturday I saw him in the club where he was the resident before he became a big name.

I told him I was a member of tranceaddict.com and that I would like to interview him for the tranceaddict.com forum if there was enough interest of the other members.

The answer was yes.

Tomorrow I�m going to call him to make an appointment with him. Next week I�m going on a holiday in Turkey, so the interview will be held in about 3 weeks from now I think.

Meanwhile I�m giving you the opportunity to submit questions for Johan Gielen.

So go ahead!

I will only take this interview when the TA members submit their personal questions.
This interview is for the TA members, so if there is no interest, i won't do it.

I've called Johan this week en agreed with him that i will contact him after my trip to Turkey. Leaving tomorrow and will be back next saturday 24th.

I don't mind if there are any questions, but i thought that some people would be interested. Maybe he isn�t that popular anymore

I'll check it this thread after my trip.

Is it possible for Johan to post his 'lift off' shows on his web site, in high quality? That would be good.

Back from a f*cking great hoiday in Marmaris (Turkey) but i need to work tomorrow, whole day long.

I see some descent questions so I�m going to interview him if he�s still interested. I will call him Wednesday, meanwhile: you can still submit your questions here.

Posted by CygnusX on Jul-27-2004 00:37:

Looking forward to Johan's answers
Two more questions :
- What's your favorite track of all time?
- What's your favorite Johan Gielen-track?

Posted by [ groovypants ] on Jul-27-2004 00:48:

What are the future plans for the "Airscape" project? Will there be more releases?

Also, when is he getting back with Svenson [if he has not already done so] ... ?

And how did the track L'esperanza came about, what was it based on [in detail please]?

Posted by tribu on Jul-27-2004 02:24:

What does he think about the proliferation of CD Turntables and CDJs themselves?

What does he think about software production vs. hardware production and what does he use. (GET AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE)

Does he frequently visit TA?

I second the questions on filesharing and live set sharing.

Ask him how long he plans to run 'Lift Off' (his radio show)

(I will post more if I think of more)
