Here's my entry into the OTR (Off the Rails) DJ Competition. 

I hope you all enjoy it

Participating in this DJ competition is an extraordinary opportunity to share my passion for music and connect with an audience that shares my deep love for trance. As a DJ, I am driven by the desire to create unforgettable moments on the dance floor, and this platform provides a chance to showcase the dedication, energy, and artistry I bring to my sets. Performing alongside talented peers and representing the vibrant trance community is both an honour and a source of inspiration. Regardless of the outcome, I view this as a valuable stepping stone in my journey as an artist and an opportunity to strengthen my presence in the scene.
Last year, I had the privilege of winning the Wax Format DJ Competition, which was an incredible milestone. It allowed me to share the stage with some of my heroes which is a dream come true. OTR holds a special place in my heart, and winning this competition would truly be the icing on the cake.
OTR has long been a cornerstone of the trance community, not only showcasing established artists but also providing a platform for emerging talent to shine. Many who have graced their stage have gone on to make significant waves in the scene. As a true fan of trance, playing for OTR would be an incredible honour and a career highlight.
