One of my fav venues Was in Denver at the world famous The Church. Its actually an old church and i believe was voted best club in the US a few years back. Very cool place!
Upto now, what is your greatest achievement DJ wise?
At first it was playing big parties controlling dancefloors, then it was producing my own music and watching people react and dance to it and now its collecting and organizing producers from all over the world into the vision of my record label , Nightshade Music. And spreading it all over the world!
