In aanloop naar ASOT Festival sprak onze reporter Danouschka. Lees hier het interview (Engels)!

Hi John! First, how are you?
Great thank you! It's a sunny day in Ireland, in October.

You have been in this industry already for quite a while. What makes trance so special to you?
Nowadays solid production skills stand out to me a lot. Back when I was fresh into the scene I couldn't tell what track would sound better in a club so much than the other. Now, that is a key factor for me or others to succeed.

How did Subculture develop?
It started as a mix-cd on Recoverworld, aka Discover back in the day. It was my first CD and I needed a name, and in fact Bryan Kearney suggested Sub-Culture. I went with Subculture so hats off to Bryan for being creative once again.

What's the most special gig you have ever done?
Like a lot of people would say, Argentina is always memorable. But in Ireland my home last year I played a 4 hour set of just my own music. Tracks that I produced from the start all myself, so that signified a milestone to me.

Who has been your biggest inspiration in starting your career in this industry?
Giuseppe Ottaviani. The most understated trance all star of the trance industry since the late 90s to this day.

Any colleague you want to collab with in the future?
I am trying to make a song with Jes Brieden one day.

What does A State of Trance mean to you & how do you feel being part of it?
It means to me the radio show and label which brought trance to the forefront of a global audience, combined with the internet it was basically a trance revolution in my view.

What can we expect from you during your set at ASOT?
I'm working on that, give me time :)

What are your future plans? Can we expect new music?
Yes I have a new track 'The Forging of Steel' on GO ON Air on Oct 10th, Armin has played it. Also my alias 'Henrik Zuberstein' has remixed Armin's Control Freak at 123bpm, released end October I believe. Also a collab with Mr. RUBEN DE RONDE!

Do you have a special quote or message you want to share with our Guestzone followers?
Yes, for those who supported me or Subculture, or go to shows/events or ever bought my music or the label, thank you. And to the others, see you soon we hope! Thanks, - see u at ASOT !
