Blaze Sulinski: Koelle - Lost Tribe (Ben Böhmer Remix) - I love Ben Böhmer's style with nice sin baselines and vibrant melody.
3) Best electronic music album in 2018? Please explain your decision why you think is the best album?(b) Do you believe that albums are still relevant or you prefer singles:
Blaze Sulinski: Andrew Bayer - In My Last Life - One of the best electronic albums released this year. Technical perfection. Every track is made with the greatest detail possible. Every Andrew's production is second to none and he proved it again by releasing this album.
4) Best artwork/cover for a single/ album or compilation released in 2018, please justify your opinion why this and not another one:
Blaze Sulinski: Disclosure - Ultimatum. - This artwork is one of a kind. Without listening the track you already know how it will sound.
5) Best online social media for 2018 and why you believe is the best particularly in 2018?:
Blaze Sulinski: Instagram. It has a lot of futures where artists can promote their work. You can reach more people by sharing what you're doing and additionally show your personal life to spoil your fans much better.
6) Best music composition software in 2018, please explain why you appreciate it so much:
Blaze Sulinski: Studio One 4. Recently I have discovered it and I must say that it has great futures and it is very intuitive. Best part for me is that it has detachable mixer view so you can focus on your mixing/mastering much better.
7) Best radio show/podcast or Vlog(video blog) in 2018, please explain why you think this is the best radio show or vlog?:
Blaze Sulinski: ABGT radio show. Best radio show of 2018. You can hear basically new music every episode so it will give you fresh ideas to produce music.
8) Best technical tips that you learnt in 2018 in relation to your DJing or music productions:
Blaze Sulinski: One of the best ones will be a Ghost kick for sidechain. This can be implemented very well in Ableton where you don't have to use your original Kick.
Dimitris: Can you mention briefly your plans for your future releases, tracks, albums, collaborations, DJ gigs for 2019!
Blaze Sulinski: I'm working on new material every day so hopefully I will release more music in 2019.
