Dimitri: Can you mention your biggest achievements in your music career in 2015?
Iversoon & Alex Daf: Sure. It was an effective year but we still have a lot to achieve. Our originals and remixes were featured 5 times in ASOT by Armin Van Buuren. Most of the popular DJs have supported our releases as well. Most of them were featured in Beatport Top 100 Chart. Worth to mention, we have signed a contract with Enhanced Music which is a major record label. We have been going to this for a while and we are really proud to work with Enhanced now. We became residents of DI.FM and are hosting own radioshow Club Family Radioshow. This way we have an opportunity to showcase music released on Club Family Records, we are co-founders there, and broadcast our vision of modern Trance music to the masses. The highest ranking our track could get this year was 12th position in Trance Top 100 Tracks chart. Also, we were excited to work with Koen Herfst, official drummer of Armin Van Buuren. We have collaborated with Koen on a track titled Million Faces with Valerio Recenti from Italy on vocals. Legendary Ronski Speed produced a remix on Million Faces. I should say we produced a lot of vocal track this year. Special thanks goes to Sir Adrian label as we have been working and collaborated for a while with Adrian, the founder.
As for gigs, we can't say we have already seen the world unfortunately. As we don't have a tour manager we are only limited to touring in our country, Ukraine.
Dimitri: Do you like to cook? What is the best recipe that you cooked this year? If you don’t usually cook who is cooking it for you and which is your best food for 2015?
Iversoon & Alex Daf: As we workout in gym regularly we prefer to eat food with lots of protein to increase own weight, that can be various kind of porridge, meat (chicken) etc. At the same time we do not forget about carbohydrates. To make it short, we love to eat a lot!
