PVD: It’s “Nothing But You”, featuring Hemstock und Jennings. Just hear into it and you will know everything!! Also watch out for Aalto’s Rush. A really big one I even signed it up for my Vandit label. It is what people call progressive, quality club trance. For me it’s just an amazing musical journey. The song starts – how surprising – with beats and adds all necessary elements to become the theme of the night.

It seems to be a great relationship between you both, with last years Cream Ibiza one of the only success stories last year, what makes the Cream Ibiza experience so special?
