A solid dj and producer, and one of the few trance DJs left playing stuff with some edge and bite to it. He should stop playing all those hard house records though. |
Maybe it's just the way he focusses his marketing guys. You can't assume that every DJ wants to do well in America. America is populare for DJs mainly because it's a fertile ground, waiting to be planted with seeds.
Either way, I've got his Lost Feelings Album....
Hmm...
Pretty good. They weren't his tracks.... but yeah... pretty good....
7.5-8.5 of 10
