You're one of the most famous names in the electronic scene.
All the times you mix different genres. Can you pick out a direction, which is closer to your heart? |
| John: |
I think I have to come from goa trance roots, which are renamed to psychedelic trance at the moment.
I don't play fullon psy trance. I like parts of the psy trance, it is where I'm musically. I love deeper
grooves, I love more undeground music. I much prefer it. But it's really hard to find that at this moment.
There is no much around. |
| Paul: |
Let us imagine a huge event with many many thousands of people. What do you prefer: small clubs or
huge events? Where is more energy for you? Where do you feel yourself better? |
| John: |
Both are good for different reasons. Recently I've played on big festival in Rio De Janeiro in Brasil.
There were 500.000 people, it was massive! Than a week after I've played in a small club for 200 people.
(very emotional talk). When you get 200 people, that people gimme to say that there's only me and no one
else. Whenever on a big festival there is a range of a people. So I can really express myself musically
with 200 people and feedback is crazy. When there is half a million people you have to play a little bit
safe. You can't really do what you wanna do.

What is you perfect time of set lenght? One hour, 2 hours, 9 hours or possibly more? |
| John: |
I was just feeling the club. I just got to know the crowd the last half an hour. I felt one with a crowd.
I got them and I need it ever. (a lot of emotions) |
| Paul: |
What do you think about very long sets? What's better short, but very impressive set, or long one? |
| John: |
I have a residency in New York. They use to give me the whole night, so I can play 9-10 hours and that was amazing. |
| Paul: |
Is there a question which you would like to hear but nobody never asked you before? |
| John: |
I've never been asked before. There is the question... (laughing). I can't think, I seriously can't think. You stop me. |
