For years I’ve been known as a very diverse DJ, playing from some of the deepest music up to fast, pounding, banging tracks. And it’s always quite challenging to showcase all of my musical taste in a single mix or even a gig, for example when my set is in the peak time in the middle of the event, I just can’t play some slower tunes because usually …
