Dimitri: Finally, please tell our readers your plans with your future releases, tracks, albums, collaborations, DJ gigs.
David Thulin: I will be doing more collaborations with Euphoric Nation, as well as my own projects in 2018, featuring various singers on singles and possibly an EP. I primarily produce for other artists, so as that takes up most of my time I will be actively putting aside time for my own music. I also foresee more remixes happening.
