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.

Fisical Project: This could be a bit complicated for me, but these are the songs that for me have the most feeling:

1. Fisical Project & Ryan K - Escape The Abuse (Original Mix)



2. The Avains & Fisical Project - El Collabro (Original Mix)



3. Fisical Project - Sierra Nevada (Original Mix)



4. Fisical Project & Ryan K - Until I Find You (Original Mix)



5. Aldo Henrycho & Fisical Project - The Killer (Original Mix)



Dimitri: Let's focus on your track Until I Find You  by Fisical Project & Ryan K  on ART Recordings. Please tell us from where did you got the inspiration for the track?

Fisical Project: I think the title says it all: "Until I find You" , I was inspired by the happiness that my couple transmits to me. Thanks to her, I think I have improved a lot this year, She is a big part of my motivation.

Dimitri: 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?

Fisical Project: I think that approximately, Ryan and I took less than a month to do it, the truth is that it was a track in which, we had no problems with the mixdown.

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

Fisical Project: I think it was, having to export all the sounds to wav to work it better. It is very complicated to work with a laptop when it is a not good one.



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

Fisical Project: We usually start working with the main idea of ​​the song, once you have the main melody, it is very easy to start working on the breakdown and the drop, and afterwards, it is simply to work the mix. You can also start with the introduction of the song, but it's easier and more motivating when you have the main melody.

Dimitri: 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?

Fisical Project:  This time ART Recordings liked a lot, and we did not change nothing.



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

Fisical Project: It is 100% our work, we do not like to copy and paste like maybe other artist do, or to use ghost producer (I am the ghost producer). I always want to make new stuff, try to find new sounds, and innovate to do not make boring tracks. To say the truth I am always focus in make new sounds, and try to add other sound by others kinds of music. Nowadays we need innovate the music we like to stay here.



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

Fisical Project: I usually say this is my "best track", when you work hard every day, you improve a lot your sound, and the feeling is great, always you can improve your ideas skills, and your sound quality. I think this one sound much better, if you compare with the music I did last year.

Dimitri: 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?

Fisical Project: Yes of course, I have some friends that help me a lot with their feedback, like Eugenio Tokarev, Aldo Henrycho, Walter Armas and Raul Mad, they all are great friends and talents. I will have the opportunity in a few days to test it live!



Dimitri: 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?

Fisical Project: Well my studio is just a laptop (Acer Aspire E 15, i7) and a good headphones (Audio Technica MX50). I don't need more at the moment, but I would like to have a better laptop to work without wavs.

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

Fisical Project: This time my friend Duncan Newell did the mastering, he is very professional working the right labels and compression, but sometimes I do my own mastering yes, but I am not as good as him.



Dimitri: 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?

Fisical Project: If you are a music lover you always want to have your music in the best quality, and of course will be great to have a track in vinyl.

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

Fisical Project: In September I will release  new tracks on Extrema, Redux and Tangled Audio. This year I will release 17 tracks, and many tracks in coming with Nathia Kate.

Dimitri: When your long awaited DJ debut will be? 

Fisical Project: My DJ debut going to be next 20-22 of July In "Sunrise Trance Meeting" here in Spain.



Dimitri: Do you produce a radio show/podcast as well? Please tell us here all the details about it. If you don't have one please tell us why you don't think is important for your career.

Fisical Project: When I started to produce I had two shows, but with the time I left they, not many time. But I hope soon start a new radio show.

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

Fisical Project: 
Paul van Dyk: " Do what you like, and love what you do"
Eugenio Tokarev: "Your next track is your better one"



Dimitri: Please give us your tips or more elaborated advice for any new artists who may read this interview and wish to get involved with the electronic music industry.

Fisical Project: Do not just listen to a type of music, learn from it. Compare your music with that of other artists. Be hard with your feedback. And do what you like, innovate your sound.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]With the legend Sied van Riel as the label owner you know that every track released on Rielism labels is simply mindboggling. The latest one Confidence Trickster by Davey Leyrock is the party tech trance weapon that you can trust. Very powerful bassline merged with thunderous headcrushing drums and razor sharp kick to formulate the rough groove and on top synthy stabs lead to the very colorful and full of synthy pleasures breakdown. The climax goes tech trance with hints of Mauro Picotto/BXR style that is absolutely earth shuttering. It has the melody and roughness to drive trancers to heavens. #PureBassPower Love It [/content]

A producer that continues to churn out tune after tune and continually outperform and impress with every production is Misja Helsloot. Back on home turf, Misja delivers the sensational 'We All Should Know', which is a lush fusion of emotion, serenity, warm vibes and an infectious uplifting melody.

Remix duty falls to the UK's Tasso who turns up the heat with a tech-infused alternative to the original which gets right down to business with it's heavy-duty basslines, energy spikes and supercharged synths, breathing new life into the majestic anthem-like melody. Essential!

His track  We All Should Know has the word classic trance feeling written all over. Clean and crispy production that shines from faraway with pumping driving basslines, thumping drums and most importantly melody that is euphoric and feel good with that unique Dutch flavour all over it. It can make you fly for sure. The remix by Tasso translates the original masterpiece into a full on tech trancer with heart throbbing fat aggressive bassline, thumping fat drums and sharp kicks along with full on euphoric synthy stabs that drive the track into oblivion in the climax that you will adore for sure as it brings that early 2000 trance feeling. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Para X is on fire and now delivers his first Universal Nation release! We requested him to do an in depth interview for Twinkle Tales and we are glad he answered back in our questions.



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

Para X: I made my first production steps around 1996. Didn't have a certain electronic music style back then, it just had to be melodic and emotional stuff. So it somehow was a logical conclusion that I'd fall in love with Trance sooner or later. Trance has the biggest emotions for me. You can party and dance to it, as well as simply listen to it and let it carry you away.



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?

Para X: I'm completely self taught. Back when I started, there wasn't something like Youtube tutorials etc. Unless you haven't had someone in your circle of friends who was a producer (or someone who knew someone that knew someone), there was pretty much no chance to ask anyone for advice. I think it's great to have all these opportunities nowadays and I guess it can really help you understand things quicker and better. Although, I don't think this is a must. If you are talented, passionate and believe in yourself, you will reach your goal even if it may take longer.



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

Para X: It was Toptrax Recordings distributed by ZYX Music. Toptrax was a young label which was associated with Uptrax - a platform for newcomers with a weekly radio show on Germany's biggest dance music radio station Sunshine Live. Every producer could upload their productions through their website to compete. If you got voted high enough at the charts your songs got aired on the radio show. My track "Tears" became No.1 after a few weeks and that's how I got my first record deal. Good old vinyl times ;)

Dimitri: Can you 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.

Para X: Skytunes, 



Lost In Memories, 



Temple Of Light, 



Ray Of Hope, 



Miracle



Dimitri: Let's focus on Twinkle Tales. Please tell us from where did you got the inspiration for the track?

Para X:  That's hard to say. There usually are no certain things on my mind when I start producing. Although, I have to admit the mood I'm into when I go to the studio mostly guides the way whether it's going to be a more happy/sad/mysterious track. The inspiration comes by simply playing around with sounds, or playing some chords on my keyboard. When I find the "magic-something" that touches me, I build it up from there.

Dimitri: 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?

Para X: I assume it took me around 4 weeks from start to finish. Maybe even longer... Days and weeks after I initially finished a track, I tend to always do some fine tuning and tweaking.



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

Para X: Finishing it! Instead of any work progress I was stuck listening to the main part in loop mode over and over again, haha!!

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

Para X: I usually start with melodies or pads and build everything else around it afterwards.



Dimitri: 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?

Para X: It got accepted the way it was :) I still did some minor tweaks before I sent out the final masters



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

Para X: It is an original composition. Although, I have built up so many tracks from scratch over the years, that from time to time, I like to re-use things that I loved in other tracks. Still I always amend even those things ;)

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

Para X: I don't think it should be me to judge this. Hopefully the listeners will love it :) But if you ask me for self-assessment I would simply say the production quality is where I think it should be ;) I always spend a lot of time on mixing and mastering as I have high demands to my work.

Dimitri: 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?

Para X: I have one special producer friend that listens once I feel a track is finished. If a gig is around I also like to check it at the club for sure :) This often gives you a different point of view on how to mix things.



Dimitri: Please describe to us the studio that you have produced Twinkle Tales? 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?

Para X: All my productions are made at my home studio. I used to have some hardware synth in the past (Access Virus B, Waldorf MicroQ, Quasimidi Sirius), but sold it all over the last years. With powerful computers and great software VST's we have these days, I haven't been using them anymore. My absolute "go 2 synths" are Omnisphere 2 and Spire. Couldn't imagine to produce without them anymore.

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

Para X: Yes, I always master every track myself. There are only a few labels that want to have their own engineer taking care about. I see mastering as a final polish to get the best possible out of an already good track. There are lots of people believing everything can be fixed with mastering. A good mastering needs a good production in first place.



Dimitri: 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?

Para X: Seriously? I hear about this trend of vinyl coming back for over 10 years now, but I never noticed anything. Maybe it works for other genres - but haven't seen anything Trance related (limited collector's items excepted). I'm the generation of vinyl - so yes! It would be great to have tracks released on vinyl again :) For collecting, I feel vinyl is much more worthy than digital files. On the other hand, digital files don't take away physical storage and they are way easier to travel with and take them to clubs.

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

Para X: Actually, I have big news and plans for 2018! I'm going to launch my own label "Intense Emotions" in spring under the umbrella of the renown Recoverworld Label Group. This is something I had in mind for quite some years now and I feel the time is just right! The clue is in the name - it will be future home for emotional, melodic uplifting trance. My vision is quality over quantity and I'm already very excited about the launch! Btw,  I'm currently looking for suitable tracks to sign and will be happy to hear from you!



Dimitri: Tell us here your Top 3 best DJ gigs so far and the reasons that made them so special?

Para X:  Airbeat One 2007, 25 Years of Technoclub, Luminosity pres. ADE special 2017. Every gig is special in it's own way. I picked these as I consider them as my personal milestones. Airbeat One was my first festival gig which sure was a big excitement. 25 Years of Technoclub is very special to me as the legendary Technoclub is the longest existing and first "electronic music only" event in Germany. I first went to Technoclub as a raver when they celebrated 15 Years of Technoclub. To be part of their line up 10 years later is a privilege and a big honor. My 2017 debut on one of the worlds most famous and loved event "Luminosity" is another huge achievement and deserves a special place in every artists heart. I loved everything about it. Especially, all the great people I met there that traveled from all over the world!



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

Para X: There are some planned, but at this point it's too early to talk about



Dimitri: Do you produce a radio show/podcast as well? Please tell us here all the details about it. 

Para X: I have 2 monthly radio shows on DI.FM (Trance Channel). "Intense Emotions Reloaded" with my long time buddy Ciacomix, where I play all my current and past favorites. It takes place every 3rd Sunday of the month from 20:00 - 22:00 cet. Since February 2017, I'm also hosting the legendary "Recoverworld Radio" show every first Friday of the month from 19:00 - 20:00 cet. It consists of "Recoverworld only releases"



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

Para X: Don't sell yourself short. Stay true to yourself and follow your heart. Listen to your track on as many different sound systems as possible. It should sound as good as possible wherever you listen to it. Take the needed breaks while producing to make sure your ears are not getting tired. Give final touches only with fresh ears. This could be next day earliest, or even 1 week or later after you finished your track.



Dimitri: Your tips or more elaborated advice for any new artists who may read this interview and wish to get involved with the electronic music industry.

Para X: Don't produce tracks and styles you're not really digging just to grab someones attention. Your priority should be to satisfy yourself with the music you make and truly comes from your heart and soul. I know this is much easier said than it's done, as we all want to have success somehow. Be nice with people and try to stay away from negativity.

Entering Rielism Elements is Syntouch with his latest uplifting masterpiece, 'Haoma', which brings the listener on a joyful, rolling journey through light synth leads, rolling drums and glowing FX. Featuring wonderful piano chords and a mesmerising melody, the original mix is simply divine!

On remix duties, Type 41 turns up the heat and the energy by taking Haoma to another dimension with his trademark hypnotic arps and majestic lead riffs. Each element is perfectly balanced and poised to take you from the euphoric depths of the breakdown to the peaks of the drops. Blissful.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Rielism Elements is definitely one of the most classy record labels with great underground tracks on their catalogue. The superb talent Syntouch comes with Haoma which is magnificent solid uplifting euphoric trance at its best with big uplifting synthy stabs, plenty of stamina and drive and you guessed it right acid overtones and piano chords to float away. Type 41 provides the much more sharper ready for mainstage uplifting performance with funfair feeling from start to finish. Playful arrangement with banging drums, driving powerful bassline and incredible breakdown with detailed sonic sound design and variety of synthy plucks until to arrive the main synthy theme soaked with that rave like infused feeling. The climax is tough and emotional with heavy foundation that kicks like a mule for sure and will ignite us all. Absolutely incredible banger with both mixes on high level. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Chris SX is back on Rielism with his exquisite new single Feel Alive. Quality melodies, stunning vocals, supreme FX and unparalleled production techniques are abundant throughout this trance masterpiece. This follow-up to Reflections sees a slight variation from his typically more melodic productions, as Feel Alive entwines the German's melodic prowess with a tough, psy-influenced low-end in a production that's destined to cause some serious damage on the dancefloor.

 [item value="10"]Chris SX - Feel Alive[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Chris SX is definitely one of the strongest new generation trance producers with extremely well received releases so far on top notch labels. Feel Alive is superb slice of modern uplifting trance with the needed psy trance dose in the sharp bassline and pulsating kick. The melodies are very balearic while the vocal is truly airy fairy adding certain calmness, warmth and humanity on the final result. The breakdown is atmospheric full of tender sounds, vocal harmonies and rising synthy plucks that lead us beautifully in the full on euphoric hands in the air climax. The superb climax will blow your whistles and you feel definitely alive and kicking to continue dancing and flying high in the air surfing upon the sonic waves that Cris SX delivers so beautifully. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

 [item value="10"]Perrelli & Mankoff - Statusfaction[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Rielism has manage to become one of the main suppliers of high quality euphoric trancers and the latest one by Perrelli & Mankoff called Statusfaction is great example of uplifting trance that contains highly addictive synthy riffs along with heavy drums and slightly psy trance infused bassline with acid trance touches. The combination of strong arrangement of effective and totally infectious ingredients will damage dancefloors and bang hard without mercy until trancers will be unified under its domination. Promising for the future indeed. #PureGold Love IT   [/content]

Dimitri: Can you mention your biggest music career achievements in 2017?
Type 41: Being able to play at Imagine Music Festival was a highlight for me! I got to meet so many trance fans and made many new friends!
Dimitri: Can you mention your biggest personal life achievements in 2017 that make you extremely proud?
Type 41: Being able to become part of Rielism was a big step in my personal life and career! I have nothing but respect for Sied van Riel and when I had the opportunity to become part of his label it was a humbling experience!
1) Best Track from other artists:
Right now the best track for me is still James Dymond & Chris Schweizer - Spectrum! That tune is out of this world and has everything from energy to euphoria!



2) Your top 3 2017 personal productions
I would have to say my top 3 productions would have to be Ascension released on Rielism then Heiwa and Aquis which were both released on Abora Recordings. All those songs tell a story and take the listeners on a journey. Which is my intention on all tracks and productions.







3) Best Artist (Dj & producer):
I would day that my favorite artists at the moment are Sied van Riel, James Dymond, Alex Di Stefano and Talla 2XLC









4) Best Remix from other artist:
Best remix for me at the current moment is the Alex Di Stefano remix of Blazer. That tune is so insane and it's energy is through the roof!



5) Best Remix that you have produced?
My best remix so far is coming out on Rielism, I can't say much else after that.

6) Best Remixer:
There are honestly to many to count. Steven Allen comes to mind as well as Mhammed El Alami. Alex Di Stefano is also a solid remixer!





7) Best New Talent (Dj or producer):
Wow, so many people to name. Some of the people I want to keep my eye on are Perrelli & Mankoff, XiJaro & Pitch, Sam Laxton, Eryon Stocker & EP3. Ciaran McAulley and so many more.












8) Best Electronic Music Album:
I haven't been able to listen to many albums this year.

9) Best Electronic Music Compilation:
Rielism Volume 4 mixed by Sied van Riel was by far an away one of the best compilations I have heard this year!



10) Best artwork/cover of an Album or Compilation:
I want to say once again, the Rielism 4 Compilation looked wild! I love abstract design and that cover fit the bill!

11) Best Lyrics in an Electronic Music track (it can be your production or from other artists)
That would have to be Bryan Kearney & Plum - All Over Again. That track hits me right in the heart. It is so beautiful and is easily one of the top tunes of the year for me!

12) Best Vocalist/Singer featured on Electronic Music track:
There are two tracks that I need to name here. I fell in love with Bryan Kearney & Plumb - All Over again but another is the recent Steve Allen & Sarah Lynn - Broken Child. Sarah has such a beautiful voice, it's almost angelic!





13) Best Electronic Music Label:
Put simply, Rielism. They feature some very talented up and comers as well as the bigger names! This is a label that is going to make some big noise in 2018.



The other label I would love to mention is my own, Digital Euphoria Recordings. We feature some very talented up and comers who make some incredible tunes!



14) Best Electronic Music Video:
I don't usually watch music videos these days!

15) Best Online Social media for communication with your fans:
That would be Facebook and Instagram. Communicating with my fans is important as without them, I am nothing.

16) Best Twitter or Facebook message or Instagram message you received from a fan or friend or you have read on someone else’s account:
From one of my biggest fans, Shewang, who has been a light in my life for years: "I can't tell you in words how greatful I am for you in my life and all the kindness you have bestowed on me,especially tonight. You are such a gift. Thank yo so much" when she had come over to be involved with an episode of my live stream of Digital Euphoria!

17) Best music composition software:
I have been using FL Studio since version 7, so I go with that.

18) Best Club Event or Open Air Festival:
To this day I would have to say seeing Solarstone play out here in Atlanta was the experience of a lifetime. Seeing that many trance fans packed in a single room and experiencing a unique journey together. There was so much love in the air and Rich is so nice and humble! Thank you UNITY Events for giving me a journey I can not forget!

19) Best personal Dj Gig:
For me the best show I ever did was performing for UNITY and their show Origins. It was a shorter than normal set but people usually see me playing uplifting, well I did do that but I mixed in some tech bangers and people would not stop dancing!

20) Best Dj set of the year from other fellow Dj:
Mark Sherry's set at UNITY was by far and away one of the most energetic sets I have ever seen. His energy followed by the music he plays is insane!

21) Best country that you have played in 2017 and where did you met the best festival/event crowd:
I have not travelled outside of the country to perform yet.

22) Best Radio show or Artist Vlog?:
I honestly need to do a shameless plug here, best show for me is my own, Digital Euphoria.



23) Best Radio station:
That would DI.FM. They have hosted my show for several years but they have such a large section of music so it's nice to be able to listen to a little bit of everything.

24) Best Online Record shop that you purchase your music:
I use Beatport for everything! I love browsing their store!

25) Best music related website that you visit frequently:
I haven't really spent a lot of time on any forums as of late but I do like the trance podium website. It is fun conversing with all the trance fans on there.

26) Best Smart phone or smart phone application:
iPhone user, right here!

27) Best Dj equipment (software or hardware):
Anything from Pioneer is my preference. CDJ 2000 Nexus are amazing pieces of equipment.


28) Best new sound or sample that has been used in Electronic Music this year perhaps introduced first by you?
I really don't know at this point honestly.

29) Best tip that you learnt this year for your Djing techniques or music composition:
Best tip I learned this year, hmm I always learn something and I would have to say the most useful one was how to make a proper trance acid. That has changed my sound significantly.

30) Best piece of advice you got in relation to your career in 2017:
I have nothing to say here, not because I don't want to but because I honestly don't know what to say.

31) Best hobby or activity that you spent a lot of time in 2017:
Well I am a nerd, mostly for gaming so I spent a lot of time playing Rocket League! So much fun playing soccer with hot wheels cars.

32) Best holiday destination for 2017 either to relax or to perform in a club or festival:
I did make my way to Colorado for a skiing trip earlier this year and it was quite the experience sitting in a jacuzzi while it was snowing.

33) Best Electronic Music magazines in printed form not online:
I don't read magazines.

34) Best Movie of the year that may inspire you to compose a track:
Best movie of the year for me is not even out yet but I know will be good, Star Wars: The Last Jedi... if I make a track it will be a remix of the Force Theme.

35) Best online/PC/video game of the year that you have played this year?
That would be Destiny 2! I loved the first one but the second one is outstanding.

36) Best soundtrack for video game of the year:
For me that is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. While simple in most areas, when big scenes come up and boss battles, epic music ensues.



37) Best electronic music related joke you heard this year and make you still laugh:
Paris Hilton is coming out with an deep house and techno album.

38) The saddest electronic music news you heard this year and still makes u cry:
That would be the loss of Robert Miles. He was an icon and still is. He was one of the first few artists who inspired me to produce.

Dimitri: Finally, please tell our readers your plans with your future releases, tracks, albums, collaborations, Dj gigs.
Type 41: I have a lot coming out with Rielism so stay tuned! I have plenty of shows I am planning on announcing and the possibility of a tour! The biggest one right now is to catch me opening for the legend, Talla 2XLC here in Atlanta on December 9th!
Thanks to Sied Van Riel at Rielism for arranging this interview.
