Hey guys, we got the chance to ask trance heavy weight, ATB a few questions! He told us about his new compilation, gave us the scoop on his residency at Perfecto, chatted about Electric Zoo, and told us how he manages to stay so prolific. Check it out: Mugasha: Hey Andre, thanks for taking the time for an interview, we're big fans. Where are you at today? Mug: So you've got a brand new compilation out, Sunset Beach DJ Session. Tell us about it. Mug: You've put out something like 8 artist albums, tons of compilations, and even DVDs. How do you stay so prolific? Mug: Your going to be doing a residency at Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Vegas coming up. What have you got in store for us? Mug: Electric Zoo in New York is next month. That's really becoming one of the best events in the U.S., are you stoked? Mug: Thanks again for taking the time to chat with us. Hopefully we'll be able to catch you on your tour this summer. Cheers!
ATB: Well currently I’m in Vegas and preparing my next Perfecto residence nights. The last two shows were totally incredible and I am looking forward to the other upcoming two shows as well as my performances at Heat Ultra Lounge, Fluxx, Club Sound, the Electric Zoo Festival and the Nocturnal Festival.
ATB: With Sunset Beach DJ Session I would like to give the people an exclusive insight into the music they can expect when I play at a beach party. The main thing music does is create emotions and feelings. For me it was very important that, when I listen to the tracks on the compilation and close my eyes, I can feel and visualize myself being at a wonderful beach party. I think every track on the compilation provides the perfect soundtrack to such beautiful moments, and I hope the people will feel the same way when they listen to it.
ATB: For me it has always been about the right mixture between my projects, like studio work, being on tour all around the globe and making a mix compilation. For example, when I’m on tour I receive so much feedback and emotions from the audience regarding my music. These emotions I take home to the studio and manufacture them into a new track. I go on tour with these tracks and so the circle is complete. So my music and sets always develop, which keeps it interesting and fresh.
ATB: 100% ATB, meaning unforgettable nights with great music, good moods and people who love to celebrate.
ATB: Definitely. Last year it was one of my highlights of the year and this year I’m looking forward to celebrate with the New York crowed with an unforgettable party. To play such an amazing city in front of such a unique and famous skyline is something really special.
ATB: Thank you Mugasha team!
