Thera
What's been your biggest achievement of the year?
The global growth of my label Theracords and the start of the sublabel Therabyte is definitely the biggest achievement, although playing in Vancouver, Canada was also absolutely amazing!
What moments will you never forget?
Oh there are so many to mention ranging from the first time that I heard a new track till playing at an awesome event. But to pick a moment of 2009 it just has to be the Summer Angel party in Denmark. Good times!
Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?
That's got to be Geck-o. He immediately blew me away when he sent me his first tracks and I am 100% sure great things will happen for this amazing dj/producer in the near future!
Who's been the artist of the year for you?
So much artists to name here, of course I am a huge fan of every artist I am proudly releasing on Theracords and Therabyte so it's very hard to name someone in particular. But to just name a few: Louk, Geck-o, Stana, ASYS, Alphaverb, Chris One, Wavolizer, Sinith and Busho
What's been your favourite label of the year?
As I only release the stuff I really love it has to be Theracords and Therabyte, but I want to name Compulzion and AVIO too.
What do you think has been the best track of the year?
In 2009 Geck-o - Smasher is the absolute #1 for me. I have played it on almost all my bookings and I still cannot get enough of this awesome masterpiece!
What's been your favourite event of the year?
Worldwide it has to be Summer Angel in Denmark and for the UK there are actually several great parties, like Infexious in Glasgow and The Messy Weekender in Whitby.
What's the funniest thing that's happened to you?
Probably experience the thing that I was playing and all of a sudden I got picked up to sit on someones shoulders almost bumping into the lasers and stuff! Fortunately it all went well, thanks Gary! Haha!
What do you have planned for the next year?
Lots of producing and playing gigs which is already going quite well at the moment. I have bookings coming up in Spain, Australia, UK and Denmark. Productionally I will do several solo and collaboration releases this year both digital as vinyl and of course the weekly Theracords Radio Show is still going strong!

What moments will you never forget?

Hun stijl spreekt me ook niet zo aan dus luister het nooit.
tijdens het interview ergerde ik met echt kapot aan showtek. Oh wat zijn wij geweldig! Doe toch normaal! Lullebatjes!
