Hi Marco, thanks for doing this Q&A, I hope it is ok if I write in English because I can't speak dutch.

I can read what gets written here with google translate but I don't think that it would make sense to translate my comment into dutch.
1) How much did it hurt when you got hit by the sparks at Qlimax?
2) You typically speed up your songs when you play live to around 158 bpm. This is not unusual and other DJs do that too. I noticed that sometimes this causes the pitch to be off. I listened to your set at musical madness xxl6 last may and your set was amazing but some tracks just sounded massively out of tune Aftershock, Anthem of Freedom and your Fatality RMX were very noticeable off key. The intervals between the high notes in these songs were completly wrong. Aftershock sounded wrong at last Qlimax too (9:37 in the Youtube video). I'm not a DJ but is there a reason why you don't use Master-Tempo?
Also while we're talking about your Qlimax set (which was the best set this evening and kinda saved last years edition of Qlimax): You'r Qlimax edit of Paradox didn't work at all with the soundsystem at Qlimax. During the intro (10:16-10:50) the subwoofers were super loud so it actually sounded like you fked up and had a slider or smthing turned down. We could see you gesticulating but couldn't hear anything besides bass. Dunno what happened there, it sounds perfectly fine in the youtube video.
3) Am I just unlucky or don't you play the Human Machinery Remix anymore? It's one of your best tracks imo.
4) Why are you listed as SPRONK, WILLEM A M at bumastemra.nl? Is Marco your middle name?
5) Will we see you at Qlimax this year?

1. It was quite hot indeed haha, didnt really hurt tho. I did have a sulfur taste in my mouth for a while.
2. Master-tempo kills the transients of the kicks and other percussion, thats way less comfortable than the fact its slightly off-key compared to the track before. Plus I mostly spin on 155-156 bpm ;-)
3. That's correct, I do not have a good reason why not. I will try to keep it in mind for my coming sets since it still fits my current style.
4. Haha, thats a funny question. But in my family the name you are actually called comes in last. I dont know why though, but my full name is Willem Anton Marco on my passport. Hence Willem ;-)
5. I dont know haha, would be epic.
