1-Dimitris: It would be nice to start by telling us your 3 most important achievements or goals fulfilled in your career so far that you very are proud of.
Dreamy: True friends, releasing on some of my all time favorite labels, and producers who I couldn´t be more happier to work with who are also a very important deal regarding the early start of trance music
2-Dimitris: Why and under which circumstances did you took the decision to start DJing or producing electronic dance music?
Dreamy: The thing is I´ve always been a music lover since the age of 3 and when I started really getting a hang of what music i specificity liked which was Trance and he hypnotic side of Progressive House, I´ve always wanted to do something with it. I started in 2004 with FL Studio, with no knowledge or friends I knew who could give me some tips so everything is self learned (thank god ^_^) and listening to radio stations which played trance with legendary DJs was a huge step for me too regarding getting somewhere and I ultimately decided I wanted to pursuing my dreams of producing the music I love so dearly
3-Can you note down the top 3 producers that have influenced your decision to get involved in the electronic dance music scene and you admire and respect them very much?
Dreamy: Mark Andrez, Daniel Kandi, Sonic Element
4-Dimitris: It would be fantastic to talk about your track Repeat with Ronski Speed released on Subculture. Please tell us how this track came about and what was the idea behind it.
Dreamy: I actually reached out to Ronski Speed, myself asking if he was up for doing something with me. Its always a bit nerve racking asking such a big name to collab with you but like i said "If you never do it you never make things happen" so i did, and he reached back to me and i sent over a melody which ha really loved and that started the track
5-Dimitris: How long it took you to produce it and can u describe the production process in simple steps?
Dreamy: About 1-2 months and a lot of forward and back to each other regarding ideas and stems. He started with building the track around my melody and I forwarded him some of my ideas and feedback and that was basically the track born :)
6-Dimitris: Did you had any particular difficulties accomplishing that particular track or any specific technical challenges or obstacles that you had to overcome during its production.
Dreamy: Not really this time as it was very straight forward and a really nice experience workin with Ron :) I think it has been such a nice ending result with this collab
7- Dimitris: Which music composition software or hardware you prefer and why? What is your opinion of the latest movement to produce music with more analogue equipment and with less or without any digital software?
Dreamy: I've always been a FL Studio & Abletion lover but i see a lot of people or newcomers into the scene who thinks that the first thing they see is the best. To me there's no such thing as "best" It all comes down to what you´re feeling works for you, and thats the most important thing
8-Dimitris: Do you prefer instrumental dance tracks or you adore vocals? Please explain to us your position and if in your latest production you have vocals tell us how did you choose the specific singer and if it was great to work with her/him?
Dreamy: No vocals was really used in this track. We had one little vocal which said "Put it on repeat" but it didn´t really fit at all so we ended up removing it :)
9-Dimitris: Do you believe that artwork on your latest track is good and do you believe that artwork can attract listeners or record buyers? Can you mention the best artwork of a track ever released?
Dreamy: I love how the Subculture releases has added backgrounds now which is a sick touch and really makes the appeal I think
10-Dimitris: Can you pick your top 3 record labels including the one released the track that we discuss in this interview and give us a short comment about them?
Dreamy: FSOE, Always Alive, and Subculture of course. I'm so grateful and proud that John O'Callaghan and the team wanted to release this one
11-Dimitris: Are you planning to complete an album or mix compilation soon? if yes please give us all the details about regarding tracks and how will look and sound like?
Dreamy: I did one on Always Alive Recordings / Daniel Kandi´s label 2 years ago and was really proud of how that came to be but I've not really thought about doing another one just yet. It would need the time and effort
