Wow what can I say, here's a re-record of my set from the Euphoria Weekender 2025 at Beachaven Malta. What a turn up for the books this was, when I jumped on the plane to Malta I never expected to be asked to play my first international gig, a full hard trance set on Thursday night!

This has to go down as one of my best DJing memories of all time. Special thanks to promoters Rick and Steve for making me feel like part of the gang the second we met at Zion on Wednesday, and giving me a 'proper' set on Thursday.

This party is the epitome of what trance is all about, amazing friendly party people, the camaraderie amongst all the DJs was second to none! The music was top quality beginning to end, everyone brought their A game. It was a real privilege to be a part of such a cracking 6 days in Malta. 

If you love trance this event is not to be missed!
