New IDs fresh from the studio, originals, remixes, collabs, and plenty of Subculture label material. Another momentous summer edition of Lumo! Great to see so many friends and trance family as always. Hope you had as good a time as I did. Lumo, thank you. ❤️

The idea behind this set was a mix of current trance vs. Dreamstate standout tracks from my sets there going back 10 years. On a weekend where there is nothing but trance from around the globe, it was a pleasure to be part of it. "I was there" for the Tiesto return. What a journey we have been on the last 10 years. See you at San Francisco May 7th @ Dreamstate!

John O’Callaghan continues his impressive run in 2025 with ‘Fragmentos’ - his seventh single of the year, and perhaps his most sun-drenched yet.

The first of at least ten tracks this year. One a month. All trance. No distractions. No detours. One track at a time. One step forward each month. Let’s see where the road leads. An album by the end of 2025?

I played a kind of 'ode to the past' of the Joint Ops stuff. (plus 1 classic tech-er) Thanks to all who went to the Void Stage for the set! When Mauro appeared I got very nervous :) This could be the last Joint Ops set for a while, focusing on trance for 2025!

Hope you enjoy my set from this years electric Luminosity night at ADE Amsterdam! There is a few hot ID's in there :) listen on youtube: https://youtu.be/LwHaI24H6II

It's no surprise why people from all around the world gather each year for this event. Everybody looks forward to it! Including the DJs, as the crowd and online feedback is always so warm. It's a memorable party with trance friends and a celebration of trance music, and I'm already looking forward to next year!

We are very thankful for cities like Melbourne in this scene. A city that gives energy and love every time we go there - truly grateful for it to be our home for Subculture in Australia! We always feel so welcome! Thank you Melbourne for being the best!! x

Poland for the last few years has been a stronghold of trance & tech-trance in Europe. Huge events like Dreamstate are a pleasure to be part of as you always know it's going to be massive. Thanks as always to my Polish Trance Family. See you guys next time!

Here is the b2b set from myself and Aly & Fila - from the unforgettable weekend that was Subculture Thailand! Myself and Fadi never plan sets, so this one was truly an 'on the fly experience' :) I think that makes it more authentic & fun. Thanks to all the fans who travelled and made this weekend so amazing. It truly was one for the books!

Another incredible edition of the epic A State of Trance festival came to Rotterdam this weekend. It was a pure pleasure to be part of such a huge spectacle of Trance! Did you enjoy yourself? Here is my set from stage 2 - full of new debuts and very special IDs. Thanks to all who came and supported, I hope you enjoy the set. Big thanks to all @ ASOT for the incredible show!

Liberation London is becoming one of my favourite gigs of the year. It's a place where the DJ and crowd truly are one entity, together for the music. No spotlight and no focus on the stage needed. Just clubbing in it's purest vintage form. That's what I love. Thank you Liberation! P.S - this set is full of ID's! follow: https://www.instagram.com/thisisliberation/

What a way to end 2023, in the amazing city of Montreal. A place where I have played many dark, harder sets over the years - and this time was no different. I love the crowd here, and I love the club. Merci, Montreal! I hope to see you soon x
