Sample of the very first Psy-Trance track to come out of my studio. Heavily influenced from my love of the Matrix films.

Released June 18th on Degenerate Records

rawstyle 💣 hardtechno & vocal trance 💯 

As a teenager I always enjoyed the music my Father played on the acoustic guitar and piano, my father was a music teacher and always wanted me to learn but I dint want to. Finally I found the instrument I loved at the age of 17 Turntables. Me and my good friend David (IAMDJNRG) started with regular turntables, then of course I could not continue and he did becoming a professional, so now with technology so advanced at age 47 (as a Hobby) I decided to follow my love for the art of making people Dance, be Happy, and enjoy Life one Beat at a Time. I'm now 50 and regret not learning music from my father. He passed in 2019 due to cancer. I lost my inspiration for music and pretty much everything that had to do with music, he was going to teach me the basics and I figured that it would make his time during his chemo therapy a little bit exciting. But he only lasted 5 weeks, cancer did not even give him a chance to fight. Its almost a year later and I finally feel the Love for the music I had before. So here I go again very soon I look forward to uploading a simple mix Iam working on, its definitely challenging with out knowing the basics.
