.:: 10 Years of TRANCE GENERATORS - Press Interview ::. & FREE MIX!!!
1. What’s your real names ?
The TGs are BEN DJ (Simone Bergamelli) and RADIUM (Massimo Magri).

2.When and Where did you met ?
It was 1999 and we performed together in a party in Switzerland, after the party we had a long talk about life and music and this was the beginning of our friendship/partnership.

3.Why did you decided to start to produce music together ?
After our meeting we noticed that most of our opinion about things, music taste and ideas were very similar so it came to our mind to start to produce music together and to try to create our own style.

4.Why did you decided to use the Trance Generators name?
Basically our first love was trance music that’s why we used the “trance” word in our artist name. Year after year our style got harder and harder but we didn’t want to change our artist name because our Fans worldwide were already addicted to the TGs brand.

5.Is it always easy to produce music together ?
It has always been very easy to produce together ! We really have very similar music taste and ideas so sometimes we are able to do the things before that one of us is talking … it feels like we are reading each others mind.

6.What was the first big emotion in your career ?
For sure the first big emotion in our career was the first International booking. It was an amazing emotion to take the flight and go to perform in another country and see that the people loved so much our style and our productions. Now, after so many years and flights, we still have the same emotion every time we start our sets, the passion for this music style is into our blood and what the people is feeling when we play is what we really feel also, we are not just “standing” on the DJ stage mixing some tracks together, we really try to play and deliver our emotions to the party people with our music style.

7.How come the idea to produce the hit track “Do You Wanna Balloon” ?
Do You Wanna Balloon has been one of our most successful release. We came up with this idea going to perform in the UK. We noticed that at the parties people were using balloons that contained “laughing gas” and so we just tried to transform into our music what we’ve experienced looking to our fans. By the way we just released the 2009 remixes for this release check out www.futuresoundmusicgroup.com for more info !

8.How can you describe and call the style you produce ?
Basically the style we produce is worldwide called Hardstyle but we don’t follow a “style”, all our releases starts from something bouncing and banging when we have these feelings inside listening to what we are producing in studio it means that this track is 100% TGs style and ready to be tested in parties.

9.Do you produce only hardstyle ? Do you have any musician/artist that inspire you?
We listen all kind of music and we are very open minded, surfing our website you can for sure notice that our Music Group is releasing and producing different styles of music so we used our studio experience also for create and collaborate to other projects. We don’t have musicians or producers that inspire us, we like to have the mind free to produce what we really love and we always try to create something unique and to have our own style not just copying only the trend of the moment.

10.One of the big promises of “Future Sound Music Group” is to search new talents, how this happen ?
Our big passion for the music drove us to start this project to discover new talents worldwide, we personally think that there are so many talented producers that can’t showcase their own style just because they don’t have big names or big reputation and this is unfair so we just try to support them pushing their tracks with our company “know-how”. We get many demos from all over the world every month, we are just sorry we (and our partners) can’t reply to all the demos we receive because it would take too much time to reply to everybody but for sure we give a proper listen to all the demos and when there’s something interesting and suitable for our Music Group we contact the producers directly.

11.From where comes your creativity ?
Ideas for our tracks just come … we can be under the shower or just eating or maybe even visiting another country to play our tunes (as we did for Do You Wanna Balloon). We always have our mind open to transform what we see in real into music. So Ideas can really come out of the blue !

12.When the next 12’’ from the TGs will be out ?
Very soon :) This year we are celebrating our 10th year of activity for the Trance Generators and so we are locked in our studios since many months working on our new and official 12’’ … it will be a really huge project including the remixes of many great DJs … for the moment we can’t tell you more but for sure we can tell you title and catalogue number “TRANCE GENERATORS – Do Not Follow The Leaders (FTS078)” … keep our website checked more info are coming soon !

13.Why this curious title “Do Not Follow The Leaders” ?
If you work in the music industry you can for sure notice that a lot of young DJs and Producers are really talented but they can’t get the right exposure just because they are not dealing with the “MAFIA” companies that usually push always the same names. So we decided to make this track for invite all the hardstyle lovers and not only, also all the hard dance music lover, to do not follow like sheep what big companies are “selling” to them, we invited them to open their eyes and to follow the music because sometimes (as we have experienced in these years) there are small DJs and Producers that can really make awesome things !

14.Any suggestion to a young DJ who is starting to produce nowadays ?
Just a simple suggestion … FOLLOW YOUR STYLE AND MUSIC TASTE … don’t try to copy and don’t be a so called sheep following the "trends" … always try to create your own style … it’s for sure harder but believe us … it’s a big pleasure when you see people appreciating you because of something unique.

Thanks for the interview guys and all the Best from Italy :)
