Hey guys,
Haven't been posting much these days, largely because I've been focusing on my latest project. I started a website called PassionateDJ.com, which is a blog and podcast about becoming a better DJ through passion and purpose.
Hopefully the Swamp-man doesn't find this to be too spammy... but, of course, I will remove it if so. :)
The site is not trance-specific. But, most recently, I interviewed Laurent Véronnez... better known as Airwave. (He posts on here as "Lolo").
Life of a Full-Time DJ & The State of Modern Trance w/Laurent Véronnez (aka Airwave)
In this episode, we discuss:
- What it’s like to be a traveling DJ and raise a family simultaneously
- Why you have to be a little bit (fully) crazy to pursue music full-time
- Why the accessibility of music creation tools today is such a good thing
- Why Laurent would never go back to the days before the “digital revolution”
- Why tools don’t make the musician
- Where Laurent thinks the trance genre is headed in the future

Thanks for the heads up. Seem to be having some trouble with my web host today (what bad timing!)
Here is a temporary download link: Download Episode 5 Here! (Select the link that says "Click here to start download from sendspace", not any of the other "download" or "play" buttons.) |

And a long listen, I started yesterday evening and enjoyed the first 12 minutes. |

Lengthy indeed, however more insightful than hearing this weeks hot new DJ who talks like he/she has some legacy behind them already. He could have cashed out long time ago...he's one of the few people I still respect in the EDM world. |

It's long one indeed probably the longest I've ever listened to. He's always a very honest guy with his responses and very thorough as well. |

I just finished listening.
Very nice interview, Airwave for sure is passionate. I already was following Airware on Facebook, so it was sort of inline with his posts there.
I also want to say that it was well done by David. Asking his questions not too quickly at least made it easy for me to understand and follow. Airwave was given all the time he needed for his answers. |

This was a good listen. I really liked the section where he talks about John Fleming: "I just want to make sure that the poeple around me are in great shape as well".
That's a awesome attitude to have. Something I aspire to, but find quite difficult. |
