Noize - It’s different from other music, it’s not a stable tempo, you can change from low to high, we can rewind it back, we can do everything on the decks!
Jungle brings people together it's all about love peace and unity. The vibe of Jungle music is different from other genres, a Jungle rave is a proper party for me.
I wasn’t travelling and then fell in love, I was already in love and I still love the area of Haad Rin. I now know more about stones and crystals and feel the energy of them, yes I am the main sales woman but I am also involved in the design at Na
At first it was a bit strange as all the people listened to only Thai music, but I love farang songs etc so it was hard for me. I sang for six months at a place called Jamaica, this was the first place I started my career for real and got paid.

My style has always been very groovy and my influences evolved in time starting with Master at Work then came Chus & Ceballos, Luciano, Loco Dice, Marco Carola and Jamie Jones to name a few.
Time goes so fast but I'm so happy to be returning to the magic island. In the past I've often played more progressive but this time I have some great fun House tunes I'm eager to drop. Will be a groovy night!

<p>A lucky accident. Both of us were making music since we were kids. Nine years ago, when we met we instantly knew we would should start a project together. Now here we are.</p>
The love between me and the people on all dancefloors in the world. I love it and it´s really the best thing to rock the crowd and see them happy while I’m playing my sets.
My inspiration is around myself. It comes from people I know or from movies and songs. I pick them up from my impression and change them to be the raw material for my job.
This year I'll try to win the Red Bull Thre3style Dj Championship. Last year I went to the Thailand national final. I will try my best this year and hopefully win the Thailand national then go to the world final in Chile.
It’s an authentic form of Yoga in the sense that they focus on energy flow and chakras which I have not encountered elsewhere since I started practising. It’s tantric. They take elements from various Indian and Tibetan yogic traditions.
I dance a lot! Full power non stop. It’s kind of therapy for me, I know about dancing high. I’m sometimes social but I want to concentrate, I think japanese people are more serious about dancing and I love that.
To be honest I love smaller more intimate dancefloors where I can see people's faces and smell them (laughs). Playing festivals is also nice but I like to be in touch with the crowd.
Well I have played and been to many eclipse festivals during the twenty seven years of Eat Static and they don't get any less exciting to be a part of, anything to do with our universe has me in awe.
When I was here in 2012 on holiday I found the opportunity, it wasn’t the real plan but it was an emotional choice. Everything was perfect, I sat and spoke with myself and said ‘why not’ and after three days I opened the shop.
I think Koh Phangan is perfect as it is. Whilst I wish that everyone can experience this magical little paradise, I hope that it will not grow to be too touristy and over developed.

I play Techno music. I love to play with three decks, I play really powerful music so this is why I use three so that the energy never stops, it never breaks. I like that the people are dancing and that they have no minute to rest.

Back in the days of cassette tapes I would spend my time recording mix tapes, one day I said to my friend that I wanted to find a way to speed up the songs or slow them down so we found a way to speed up a set.
I actually started out playing different genres, I started with Techno from 1997 to 2001, from then I started to get involved in the psy scene and my biggest love is and always will be psy progressive but Techno is the foundation, it’s still there
I guess it’s try to be good and do good things. You have to start with yourself, always improving and evaluating yourself or adjusting. When you are healthy inside your eyes are open and the world is a magical place with endless gifts to offer.
With SUP Yoga it uses different muscles as the paddle board is moving, you have little waves and have to balance which makes you use the body a bit different than doing standard yoga on land.
My method is not to make music from background experience, things I know, instead the best things are coming out when I exist like nothing, then things come out, I tune in to an invisible radio station and receive messages and then give out this m

The speciality is because the sounds and melodies all come from the heart, people prey with these instruments. We improvise a lot of the time and this instrument can be improvised well with lots of other instruments.
I’ve always had a very musical family, everyone is very into music. The definitive change for me was a club called ‘Matter’ which is Fabrics sister club but closed in 2010.
Expect a unique set, lots of own unreleased tracks and edits, constant energy and a special atmosphere. We never plan a set so four decks gives us the space to be creative, and one step ahead.
With Niconé everything looks effortless, and hardly anyone manages to let something complex sound as easy and lively as him. By now it would be an understatement to say he's played a few gigs, or that he's had a few hits.

It is not a kind of dance but a way of dancing. The way u hear and feel the music. The main part is how your attitude is, without this it is like empty gymnastics.
Me and my friend used to sneak into his big brothers room and play around with the decks. That was aged ten or eleven. My techniques and DJ styles are basically self-taught plus DVDs and youtube.

I think that when I got here and I saw many beautiful things that Phangan has more than just a party. I go around the island to look and now think differently to before, I thought it was just parties and many people in Bangkok think this.
On Phangan it is very calm, Sabai sabai. We have gardens and nature and I think it is a good island in Thailand. In Samui, Bangkok and Phuket there are many people and it is all the same.

I went to all the clubs in Frankfurt near where I lived, it was one of the main spots where Techno kicked off and developed in Germany. As an eighteen, nineteen year old, I would spend the whole weekend in Frankfurt, club after club.

I can modify the yoga to the ability of the student, and make it for everybody. I also bring the therapeutic element. I am trying to synchronise the polarities in nature not only flexibility or strength but the combination between them.

I don’t make a difference between music styles, for me music must be good and it depends on the situation whether you can play this or that track. You should feel people at first, that is the main thing for artists.
