But how did it all begin?
“My first real exposure to electronic dance music happened about 11 years ago while I was growing up just outside of Chicago. There would be these mixshows late at night with DJ’s spinning a variety of underground house and progressive trance every week. It didn’t take long before I became addicted to the music. Well, I shouldn’t use the word addicted, but that’s really how I was feeling at the time. Eventually, it was no longer enough to just be a listener; I wanted to extend further and become an active participant in the scene.” (ClubbersGuide.com.mk Interview – April 2011)
