Danish Trance producer ‘Dreamy’ began listening to Electronic Music at a very young age. Over the years he has developed an extensive background in music.

Inspired by fellow countryman Mark Andrez back in 2009 as a starting point, Dreamy discovered a love for ‘Uplifting Trance’. Since then he has been focused on creating his own sound and establishing himself as a serious Trance Artist.

Numerous releases on the genres most successful labels, and continuous support from many of the World’s leading DJ’s, have identified Jack as a rising star of Trance.

Genre: Uplifting Trance, Emotional as Dreamy

Progressive Trance / Progressive Breaks as Dawn / Dark Matter

Tech / Psy trance as Divisional Phrase

His latest track Flashes of High co-produced with Jake and Lyd14 is out now on Reason II Rise and it sounds like the perfect occasion to request an interview from Dreamy who was so kind to reply with so much depth and details. You can read it straight away while you enjoy Flashes of High. 


1-Dimitris: It would be nice to start by telling us your biggest achievements or goals fulfilled  in your career in 2022 that you very are proud of.

Dreamy: One of my biggest highlight so far is to work with some of the biggest names in trance. I´ve recently got a few collabs lined up with names such as Ronski Speed, Madwave, DJ T.H. , BIXX, and many more to name a few. Whilst that, I'm very happy to be releasing on labels i back in the days, could only dream of!

2-Dimitris: Do you have already some concrete plans for 2023 and if you are allowed to announce them to our readers please tell us what you are preparing for us in the coming months regarding releases and performances in gigs/festivals.

Dreamy: I had a gig in Utrecht doing March, but so far no plans for gigs are yet to be announced. Its always a toughie regarding those as i may require some more help and etc. for this despite my illness in my legs.


3-Dimitris: It would be fantastic to talk about your latest release Flashes of High. Please tell us how this track came about and what was the idea behind it.

Dreamy: My release "Flashes Of High" was actually an idea that my buddy Jakob Stavnstrup aka other half of legendary Danish dance act "Fairlite", came up with, and we wanted to fulfill this track a bit more so we asked Lyd14 to write some epic vocals for this one and I think we all came up with something nice and unique

4-Dimitris: How long it took you to produce it and can u describe the production process in simple steps?

Dreamy:  As stated before Jakob actually had the idea in mind so I went to his house and sat down with him producing the initial idea. I then took what we had and made some nice vocal chops from Lydia´s amazing voice and the rest was history

5-Dimitris: Did you had any particular difficulties accomplishing that particular track or any specific production challenges.

Dreamy: I would say I did have a few burn outs doing this track as I struggle a lot with my health and sometimes it can be hard to keep up but I'm always grateful for these lovely times at Jakob´s place and you really get your fire up again despite maybe not feeling what you are doing, it always helps getting a chiller at his place and he's kind of a "talk all things" type of guy which really helps doing harder times which I feel is very important to have sometimes. A friend who you not only do music with but also can be your mind in some situation and keep you going :)


6- 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'm mostly an Ableton Live guy as I love the features there. FL for the audio stuff as I feel like the time stretch in Ableton could be better (some says its amazing but its a matter of taste I think haha xD ) and I don't really think you have to have the best equipment to stand out in this scene at all or musically. It all comes down to how you use and know to use it. I have produced tracks on headphones, in fact the track I did for my very first ASOT release back in 2015 (The Truth We Can´t Escape" was made in a day in honor to my grandfather which most of you know, and that was made with headphones only :)

7-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: It really depends. Sometimes its good to have a track that tells a story with a melody but vocals can take a track so much further regarding telling a story of what you want the audience to feel. This track is no exception and i really think Lydia nailed the idea Jakob had in mind :) She´s an amazing vocalist and the nice thing about her is you get everything from the box, adlibs, harmonies and etc.

8-Dimitris: If you really like to produce vocal tracks which vocalist/singer or lyricist on electronic dance music you aspire to work with?

Dreamy: I absolutely adore the voice of my friend Josie Sandfeld. She really packs a punch of something insanely mesmerizing regarding her voice! Other than that i would love to work with El from the Ridgwalkers single "Find" way back. There´s just something about her voice that's so magical. I hope to get the chance one day writing something with her and Ridgewalkers


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 think an good artwork is very essential for a good release and it helps engage the listeners to something epic. I love when I get a artwork and just go "Wow this is sick!!"

10-Dimitris: Your forthcoming release will on on Subculture. Can you tell us some details about Repeat please?

Dreamy: The latest I've got so far is the one that is coming on John O`Callaghan's "Subculture" label with Ronski Speed. Absolutely cannot wait to see the reactions to that one

Its my first ever time on Subculture and John was straight to the point so I'm defo not gonna stop sending him demos now that I finally have an open door to his label and I do have more tracks planned to be sent to him :)

11-Dimitris: Do you have your own record label? if yes tell us when did you set it up, the reasons behind this decision and your top 3 releases on the label so far plus 2 or 3 releases that we should look after from your label.

Dreamy: I did have a label before with my buddy Kinetica but due to personal reasons it was closed down but I did have the pleasure of seeing 2 top 1 tracks on the label from Paul Skelton so that was nice :)

As for now, I have started a trancer label called Bifrost Recordings with Danish mates only including Benya, Maratone and a lot of other Danish guys I know in this scene personally and it feels great to have something in common and have this bond with everyone and plan out stuff on it


12-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: We actually are planning an upcoming Ibiza compilation for our label which is still in the works but do look out for this! :)

13-Dimitris:How much time do you spend promoting yourself in your social media and you see this as essential tool for self promotion and getting bookings too? Which social media is the one that seems to work better for you?

Dreamy: To be honest with you I'm not really a "promotional" guy that much and I do what I see fit. For me music is about the music and I feel like the social media is taking overhand in a way that's a bit damaging ranging from getting fake likes, to fake comments and all that sorts of things and sadly is a common trait these days you will fall into and don´t get me started on the political stuff. I would rather focus on myself and what I do and root for my fella friends and producers in this scene

As for bookings again I try very hard to get it to workout and I wish that people didn't had to have so much anxiety about booking me. I might cost a bit more due to having a helper with me but its seen before with this type of people and I know it can be done. Just look at my fellas Xijaro & Pitch! Absolutely smashing it and I'm buzzing for Anthony tbh! What a guy :)

14-Dimitris: Do you have your own radio show/podcast/twitch stream or Vlog(video blog)? If yes please give us a comment about it and how long it take you to prepare for it and if you are always excited to produce it?

Dreamy: I do have a YouTube channel but I rarely use it these days. I try to upload some new short videos regarding new releases so those who don't have access to beatport or other medias can still listen the previews or full versions of the releases with the label´s permission ofc


15-Dimitris: Please share your most funny and most serious incident that happen to you during your DJ performance?

Dreamy: I was playing in Utrecht a couple of months ago and I was so stressed out because I was trying to find the club I was suppose to play in (again my disabilities in my legs was a big hitter here :) ) and I eventually made it. Later in the set I end up dropping the same track into deck 2 without knowing it until I mixed it in but what was cool is I've had so much DJ practice over the years so I just break mixed the track into the next one. Gets to show you can save yourself in even the darkest moments

16-Dimitris: Are you enjoying to visit music conferences and do you have any plans to attend any of them in 2023:

Dreamy: I was planning to go to ADE but mostly for visiting the ASOT studio and see how that's like


17-Dimitris: Do you have an agent that organize your performances and gigs or are you taking care of them? If you do have one agency please tell us what is so special and you work with them.

Dreamy: I've tried to have an agent who was running my bookings but its not something im sure of doing again :)

18-Dimitris: Please note for all the new talents that read this interview to get some inspiration from you any technical tips in relation to your DJing or music productions. Also any piece of personal or music business' advice that has helped you to progress even further and is worth telling to the new upcoming talents.

Dreamy: Just be you! Focus on what you want to and try not to get overwhelmed by all the negatives and etc. in the scene. Focus on you and your goals and thing will eventually happen. Also don´t be afraid to reach out to people. The worst thing you can get is a no! Be brave, Be humble and kind and it will take you a long way. I´ve made mistakes in the past and learned from them

19-Dimitris: Many DJs who are producers too they offer online masterclasses or teach to music production courses. If you are offering any of these services please tell us about it.

Dreamy: I´ve tried some client works here and there but only when people asks me

20-Dimitris: Is there a club classic that you would like to remix or rework in 2023? Do you attempt often to do your own bootlegs of classics?

Dreamy: I´ve done a few bootlegs in the past but I tend to not really focus on classic remixes because most are overdue but if i should choose one, I would love to do one of DJ Encore - I See Right Through To You / The Danish Big Brother Theme or Safri Duo - Rise (Leave Me Alone) Ever since I heard that one I've been in love with trance music, like knowing what it was I wanted of music. I did do one last year of my all time classics from the Danish band Infernal, "Sunrise" which I was very proud of and both Paw and Lina loved it so much that they said yes to me playing it out which meant the world to me.

21-Dimitris: Vinyl sales are rising and there is strong demand for vinyl releases? What is the reason behind that trend and do you see it as a positive development?

Dreamy: Absolutely! I'm very much in for having your own music on CD or vinyl because it just makes you feel like you have something in your hand rather than just digitally


22-Dimitris: Many artist right now attempt to come closer to their fan base and use the meta verse in order to offer exclusive content to their most dedicated followers. Do you have any plans to do the same and what is your opinion about this plan to grow on metaverse?

Dreamy: I stick to just do what I do and not focusing too much on what other do to be honest. Makes a big difference for me

23-Dimitris: Do you believe that music genres or styles are still relevant today? What is your opinion about hybrids and artists attempting to mix influences from various genres in their tracks?

Dreamy: To be honest sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on who you are and what you like I believe. That's how I see it anyways

24-Dimitris: Finally tell us if you are able to make a leaving out of your music business (DJ/producer/label owner/teaching or mastering tracks) and if not what other jobs are you doing in order to make a decent leaving?

Dreamy: As my friend Mark Andrez said to me once "Its like winning in Lotto / the Danish jackpot thingy. Sometimes you get lucky with royalties, sometimes not :)

Dimitris: Your message & wishes for Flux Bpm Online readers.

Dreamy: I hope you had fun reading this interview and got to know a little bit more about me and my great friends Jakob / Jake and Lydia

Thanks so much to Dreamy for his wonderful answers.

Thanks so much to Tim at Reason II Rise for organizing this interview.

ZOYA is a singer, songwriter,DJ and recording artist. Since an early age she has had a profound interest in music which would lead to studies in opera and piano at the Music academy in her hometown. ZOYA would then leave her home country of Bulgaria to embark on a bohemian lifestyle of music, work and travel. Living and working in different countries she was constantly learning, gaining experience and collecting new inspiration to incorporate into her style of song writing. In 2013 she fell in love with electronic music and knew from then on that it was in this genre that she wanted to make her impression. During the ADE she presented 2 songs and her voice was first announced to a worldwide audience. The collaboration requests started to rain in and her first project with LTN was signed by Armada music. Currently ZOYA is working hard writing for herself and other artists. Her main love will always be trance but having an eclectic taste in music herself she is always open to experiment in other music genres. 



Acid Lullaby is her latest release for Edge Vision part of Abora Recordings and we are more than glad that she agreed to talk to us about this new single and tell us about her foundation in music, her present goals and future ambitions. Enjoy her very informative answers right here.

Dimitris: When did you start your involvement with electronic dance music and which music style you are more affiliated with and why?

ZOYA: My musical journey started from High School and continued through the Music Academy with opera and piano, but later on I fell in love with electronic dance music.It was in 2013 when I first attended ADE, I went to a trance event and since then I knew that will be my music.I remember that night Solarstone was playing, it was pure magic.

Dimitris: Did you had the opportunity to attend any kind of music production course or are u completely self taught? Do you consider that is essential for any artist to complete any production course?

ZOYA: When I first got in the scene,I was a singer-songwriter. That wasn't enough for me so I went to study production and sound design in a private music school. There I graduated the DJ course as well so now I'm fully qualified. There is still many things to learn but I think I am on the right path.

Dimitris: In which label was your first ever release and how did you manage to attract the attention of the label?

ZOYA: My first ever release was a progressive house vocal track that I wrote. It was called "Walking into heaven" and it was featured in the best of Miami 2014 compilation. I presented the song during the Winter Music conference in Miami and people liked it so it came naturally to release it.

Dimitris: Please pick for us your Top 5 tracks that you have produced and you consider them as being highly important for the progress of your career.

ZOYA: "Acid Lullaby" I like it for the production quality, that's my latest track which was just released on Feb 25th. Check out the official video on my youtube channel 



"Bubble" (released on number 1 dance label in Australia Bourne recordings). That track was N2 on the Czech chart last year.



"zoyasmusic". Actually I am trying to improve each time I produce.

"Scars"-vocal uplifting trance track which was voted one of the top 25 tracks in 2018 in category 
Uplifting Trance. It took 2 years to produce it but the final result was worthy.



"In My Mind" produced as pop/house and voted N1 track on Deep House Radio Bulgaria for 2018



"Oceans Away" released on Armada. I wrote and sang the song as acoustic version with guitar, someone else made the trance version.



Dimitris: Let's focus on your latest release Acid Lullaby. Please tell us from where did you got the inspiration for the track and what kind of music influences is including?

ZOYA: I like energetic trance, also darker sound.As a producer I feel like tech/psy trance is my thing.That's what "Acid Lullaby", my new release which I classify as PsyTechlifter.My sound is influenced by Mark Sherry, Jordan Suckley, I like Jorn Van Deynhoven tunes a lot.



Dimitris: How long it took you to produce it and was an easy or difficult process?If you have faced any difficulties please tell us about them and how did you resolved them?

ZOYA: It took me around 2 months.I am not the fastest yet because I am a perfectionist and I will re-work something million times till I like it.

Dimitris: Which was the biggest challenge that you faced during the production of this superb track?

ZOYA: It took long because I was trying to create some of the sounds using the knowledge of the sound design class. I was experimenting a lot but in the end I think it came pretty nice.

Dimitris: Can you describe to us the steps that you went through the production of this track and of any other track?

ZOYA: First I will choose a track that I like and put it in my DAW as a reference track.Then I will see the structure and analyse the elements and sounds used there and after the fun begins...experimenting and checking how it will sound  best.



Dimitris: When the track finished did the label accepted it as it was produced or did the label recommend you to do some changes or fix certain things?

ZOYA: The label took it the way it was, including the mastering.

Dimitris: Is this track an original composition or is it based on a template from another track produced from you or another producer?

ZOYA: Completely original.In fact it is a hybrid between psy and tech trance with elements of uplifting in the break down.

Dimitris: Is the quality of this track higher than your previous one? If yes in what ways this track sounds better than your previous one?

ZOYA: I wouldn't say its better than my previous track.It is just different sub genre. My previous track "Scars" was uplifting vocal trance and "Acid Lullaby" is PsyTechLifter.



Dimitris: Do you have any friends or relatives that you send them the track before sending it to a label or if you are DJ did you test it in your gigs? If yes did you have to do any alterations as a result of the crowd reaction?

ZOYA: I have many friends in the industry but I don't send them my tracks.If I am not sure I prefer to take an extra class with my music teacher and discuss it.As a DJ I test the tracks,yes. During my live gigs or radio show.

Dimitris: Please describe to us the studio that you have produced the track? What is your favourite hardware and software set up? Do you have in mind any new gear that you wish to get in order to raise the quality of your production?

ZOYA: At the moment I am building a new studio.This particular track was produced on my laptop with Ableton 10. I use serum a lot, I really like playing with it.

Dimitris: Do you master the track yourself or the mastering is task for the record label? Do you understand mastering as being essential?

ZOYA: Some labels prefer to do their mastering so they ask for the pre-master of the track when you sign. Mastering is a completely separate skill and not so many producers are good at mastering.

Dimitris: There is a growing trend of vinyl coming back for good. Would you like to see this track released on vinyl or any other of your future tracks? Do you prefer digital files or vinyl?

ZOYA: I've never thought about it but now that you are asking me, I would like to have it yes.

Dimitris: Are you going to release soon any remixes to support Acid Lullaby?  

ZOYA: The track is going to have a remix but I will keep it a surprise for now.

Dimitris: Do you have any future releases planned and when will be released?

ZOYA: Yes, I have a few more tracks coming the next months.

Dimitris: Your favourite Top 5 tracks at this moment!

ZOYA:  The Sound Of E - ( Jorn van Deynhoven Extended Remix)



 Armin van Buuren, W&W - Ready To Rave 



Fake ID - Jorn Van Deynhoven



Tempo Giusto - Solace in your eyes



Darren Porter - Inertia 



Dimitris: Can you recall your Top 3 best DJ gigs so far and the reasons that made them so special?

ZOYA: I like creating a journey when I play so I always prefer longer sets. I played two extended sets last year: one 6h open to close in Berlin and one 5h In Prague. The 3rd gig was a private party in Monaco.

Dimitris: Do you have any more DJ gigs planned for the next few months? If yes please note them down here.

ZOYA: I'm going to play in Sofia, Bulgaria on March 9th which is really soon so if you are around make sure you come.

Dimitris: Can you give us more details about your Ultimate Energy radio show?

ZOYA: I am hosting my radio show "Ultimate Energy" on Trance-Energy radio. It is twice a month- every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 16h GMT.Live stream is always available on the radio site and after I upload the episodes on my soundcloud or youtube channel- zoyasmusic 



Dimitris: Best piece of advice you got in relation to your career so far and best tip you learnt recently to make your tracks better.

ZOYA: I am still learning and trying to follow this tip but to be patient and keep working hard.Things are coming but it takes time and a lot of hard work.

Dimitris: Can you offer us your career tips or more elaborated advice for any new artists who may read this interview and wish to get involved with the electronic music industry.

ZOYA: I would suggest to take the time and learn properly. For myself I like to understand and learn the foundation of everything at the start and then just to improve. 

Dimitris: In 2018 the electronic music talent AVICII died and this has alerted several artists to become more health conscious. Are there any lessons to learn as an artist out from this sad event?

ZOYA: Sometimes the stress, the travelling, the fatigue and the expectations that people have from you can be too much. I think it's important to try to balance and take care of your health as well and if you need to slow down just do it. It's not all money, health is the most important. 

Dimitris: Can you tell us your best travel tips in order to survive the long travelling hours that many artists must go through?

ZOYA: Oh I am not the best person to ask that. I survive the long flights but I completely mess up my diet and training if I am away for a long and then I am always angry with myself. Again I am trying to be as healthy as possible when it comes to food but its not always easy. I know what I have to do in theory but ... sometimes I don't do it.

Dimitris: There is a big movement for revival of classic tracks and as a result of this retro events have boomed with music policy of solely classic tracks. What is your opinion about events or stages only with classics and can you choose for us your absolute 3 favourite classics?

ZOYA: I like classics but I don't if younger generations would enjoy them as much. I think it's good to have stages with classics and I have seen people really enjoy It, I guess it all depends on the venue. It is really hard to pick my top 3 favourite classics but I can tell you that I am remixing one now and it will be out soon:))) 

Dimitris: Please give us your messages for our readers?

ZOYA: Keep listening to the good music and also keep supporting your favourite artists, without you we wouldn't have the motivation to do what we do.



Thanks to ZOYA for replying to this interview.

Fisical Project is a young Spanish Producer born in Granada. He found that electronic music was a true way of expressing his most deep feelings, and it was in 2010 when he begun to discover that his true passion resided in Trance music. 

In 2013 he started crafting his own sounds and as he progressed, becoming more proficient and confident which led him to enter one of Armada's renowned music contests.  

The hard work was paying off as he achieved a top 40 spot which gave him strength and determination to keep producing and developing his craft as a Trance artist. 

Although he had released a limited amount of tracks on smaller labels, it wasn't until 26th of May 2014 when he found his feet, releasing a track called "Rising Star", together with the help of San Lopez.

During the years the young boy from Granada has been trying different sounds and getting support from famous international DJ's such as Paul van Dyk, Alex Morph,  Giuseppe Ottaviani, Sied Van Riel, Mike Push, Jordan Suckley, DJ Feel, Mark Sherry, Roger Shah, John Askew, Heavens Gate, Roman Messer, Johan Ekman, Manuel Le Saux, signed on Black Hole, Suanda Music, Discover Digital, Alter Ego & many more! His breakthrough had yet to come, until he signed his collaboration with The Avains called "El Collabro" with Rielism, the record label of Sied Van Riel. As Rielism is a sublabel of Black HoleRecordings, this presented the opportunity for the track to be included in the well known Rielism Vol 4 Compilation. 

Other successful ventures Fisical Project was involved in included # 3 in Kiss Fm Ukraine with "Temptation" a  collaboration with Oldfix. He also achieved a staggering 7.5 rating in a prestigious Dj Mag Review "Total Destruction". The #Top 186 position in the Trance Podium 2017 ranking and #Top167 position in 2018. Last but not least his track was named as #FutureSound in the radio show of Aly and Fila #FSOE531

Dimitris: Can you mention your biggest music career achievements in 2018?

Fisical Project: I think it has been an incredible year. The fact of having released 18 tracks, I think it says it all. It was a year in which I started getting a play in FSOE becoming Future Sounds of the week with "Cherry Bomb" thanks to the great work of Luke Warner and Latex Zebra that made an incredible remix. I must also say that other great djs like Paul van Dyk have supported several of my works, which I can be very proud of. In addition to having climbed positions in the Trance Podium ranking

Dimitris: Can you rate 2018 for you as a year with 1 being very bad until 10 that is perfect year!

Fisical Project: 7 good year. I think it's been a great year, but you have to be self-critical, I can improve much more. I want it to be the turning point this year, and set an example for the future. Since more than quantity, the important thing is the quality that I should start to take out.

1) Best 3 Tracks from other artists in 2018, please give us a short comment for each track:

Fisical Project:

01. Paul van Dyk ft. Plumb - Music Rescues Me: Without a doubt I think that for me this is the best theme of this year, it is incredible what makes me feel this song. Because this song tells my life, it's my life, I do not know what would have happened to me if I didn't found this music. That's why this song means a lot to me.



02. Cold Blue - Rush: Without a doubt this is the kind of music I like to listen to, listening to the music of Cold Blue is like going back to the 2000s and feeling the energy that trance has always transmitted, an inspiration for me.



03. Craig Connelly - Trouble In Paradise: I think this is another of the songs that defines me the most, those sounds and melodies are what make me get the energy of this music.



2) Your 3 Best of 2018 personal productions, give us more background info about them:

Fisical Project: 01. Fisical Project & Ryan K - Escape The Abuse



02. Fisical Project & Ryan K - Memento 



03.  The Avains & Fisical Project - Interconnected 



3) Best Artist in 2018 & Best New Talent in 2018:

Fisical Project: I think that for me the best producer and new talent of this year has undoubtedly been Rysto. I love how he produces, as in so little time he has managed to get that perfect sound he has, and those ideas so I am a faithful fan of him since he made a remix to "Ineffable."I think next year will be incredible for Rysto.



4) Best Remix in 2018, please explain why you liked it so much:

Fisical Project: Effervesce II (Omar Sherif Extended Remix)
Sometimes It is complicated to get a remix which is very good, and more when it comes from a song that we all know. This remix with no doubt continues to maintain that essence of the original, and I love to hear it.




5) 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:

Fisical Project: For me, without a doubt, the best album of this year was released by Paul Van Dyk, "Music Rescues Me". I think it's an album that transmits that essence that we sometimes miss.



(b) Actually an album is always better than a single, it makes you travel and express your feelings even more.

6) Best electronic music label for 2018, please justify why you choose this label and what was so special in 2018 about it:

Fisical Project: Personally I think there are many labels that are doing very well and among them I want to highlight the form and treatment they have had with me at Abora Recordings and Alter Ego Recordings which is an exemplary label.





7) Best electronic music video for 2018, please explain why you like this video so much:

Fisical Project: Project & Ryan K - Memento, I think this video is incredible, I still can't believe that the author devoted so much time to making this incredible work of art



8) Best Twitter/Facebook/Instagram message you may have received about your music or your DJ performance in 2018:

Fisical Project:I think there have been many positive messages that I have received this year, both in person and on social networks, and I can not pick up any of them. I never expected this so I am very grateful to all those people who have dedicated some of their time to write a positive word about me, thanks from the heart.

9) Best music composition software in 2018, please explain why you appreciate it so much:

Fisical Project: I think that FL is really good if you know how to use it, but I only use it for now and it is what I most easily did at the time. It is a great software, it has greatly improved its interface, and its facility to produce


10) Your Best personal DJ Gig for 2018 (if you are active as DJ) and why you believe is the finest:

Fisical Project: I think it was amazing to be able to finally make what I like most, I was playing at Sunrise Trance Meeting 2018




11) Best technical tips that you learnt in 2018 in relation to your DJing or music productions:

Fisical Project:  I think I have greatly improved my ideas, and also in the equalisation.

Many thanks to Fisical Project for his answers! We wish him all the best in 2019

Fisical Project & Ryan K return to ART Recordings! 'Until I Find You' is better than it has any right to be and to date has been doing some serious damage on the trance circuit. Superb peak time material!

It is great pleasure that Fisical Project from Granada, Spain has accepted the challenge to talk about this release on our interview that you can read right here & right now.

 Dimitri: When did you start your involvement with electronic dance music and which music style you are more affiliated with and why?

Fisical Project: Everything began in 2010; In my town they have always done a djs contest, and my mother wanted me to participate. The truth is that I had never heard about electronic music. Even though I did not know anything, I try to do what I could, after that started to find djs on internet, and started to listen DJ Tiesto. 

When I discovered electronic music, I started to feel that it was the energy I needed, since during those years of my life, I was totally alone, fighting against abuse and bullying at school.

For me trance always will be my style, was the music that I discover and helped me to stay here. But I really like to listen all kind of music, It helps you to learn more.

Dimitri: Did you had the opportunity to attend any kind of music production course or are u completely self taught? Do you consider that is essential for any artist to complete any production course?

Fisical Project: This a good question, cause of I started to create my music alone, and trying to improve always my sound, I watched many tutorials on YouTube, like the Adam Ellis ones, but my main point was asking for feedback, my friend Borja aka Dim3nsion helped me a lot when I started to make music. I think It is not essential, you can learn easily nowadays there are a lot of tutorials, but always will be more easy to learn with a course, of course.



Dimitri: In which label was your first ever release and how did you manage to attract the attention of the label?

Fisical Project: The truth is that before signing on TFB, which by the way, now they change its name to Ultima Audio, I signed on other labels before, but I do not consider these tracks as real songs. That's why I always I say TFB was my first records label. 

If I remember correctly, a friend talked with them, because it is a record label from my country and they liked the track. 

Dimitri: Please pick for us your Top 5 tracks that you have produced and you consider them as being highly important for the progress of your career indifferent if they were commercially successful.
