February 14th was not only the St Valentines day but also the Luminosity Trance Gathering event as well. The very successful team of Luminosity Events Foundation returned in Amsterdam at the famous venue Westerunie & Westerliefde for the magnificent Luminosity Trance Gathering that included 2 fantastic areas. The djs that performed that night were Adam Ellis (NL debut), Airwave
Angry Man, Arctic Moon, Eddie Bitar (NL debut), Giussepe Ottaviani, Lange, Rex Mundi, Simon O’Shine and Will Atkinson.
One of the big highlights of the event was the performance of the legend and pioneer Dj & producer, radio host and label owner Lange. His dj set was an emotional uninterrupted journey that consisted of the finest melodic trance and progressive anthems carefully selected and mixed in the most creative way. The trance family was extremely satisfied from his energetic and very euphoric set that should be considered as one of his best until now. At the end of his performance I kindly requested to conduct a video interview and he accepted it with his very warm wide smile in his face. The result is an nearly 27 minutes video interview that you can watch right now.
You can watch his opinion about his dj set at the Luminosity Event. We talk extensively about his latest album We Are Lucky People and he explains in great detail the process of recording it and how he collaborated with the various singers that are taking part to this must have album. He tell us his future plans for the remix edition of this album and his latest single Insatiable alongside Betsy Larkin. Also I asked him about his forthcoming back 2 back set with Sean Tyas and his previous back 2 back sets with Andy Moor on top events like Tomorrowland. We discuss of course the future prospects of his excellent label Lange recordings and the various top artists of his label rooster that we should keep an eye on. I ask him if he believes that 2014 is the year of trance and he answers in his very personal way. Of course he tell us about his radio show Intercity that has great recognition and he explains how he prepares it and how much he value this radio show for his contact with his fans worlwide. Highlight question should be the one about the kind of sacrifices he did in order to achieve his high level of success and become the globally known dj Lange. Lastly we talk about his forthcoming mix compilation In Search Of Sunrise alongside Richard Durand that will be released at the end of May on Black Hole recordings. Its definitely a long detailed interview worth watching from start to finish! Enjoy!
