While looking in some of my older stuff I found my first ever release. I think I made this one with 'Propellerhead Reason'. I just had to share this with my loyal followers. :)))

If I had already found the right words, I would have written down what an incredible experience we had at the BALANCE CROATIA 2025 festival. For now, let me just say this: we were in the earthly paradise of progressive house.

It was a true honor for me – and one of the highlights of my DJ career – to play for such a wonderful international crowd. The captivating atmosphere of the Beach Stage and the energy of the people brought this set out of me.

Thanks in advance for every play, and if you enjoy it, I’d be more than happy if you shared it here and there...
