Q: You're one of the very few women producing psytrance music … how did you discover this style and what made you decide to produce Goa ? When did you start producing it ?

Q: Do you project to release a new album ? When would you release it ? Could you describe us how it sounds ?

Q: Is there another artist you'd like to work with ?

A: There are many.... But With Simon Posford or Jean-Michel Jarre could be very nice.

 

Q: When & where was your best party ? And your worst one ?

A: There are so many good parties in different ways. The worst one (one of them) are on "The Tube" in Copenhagen. Only one synth without power and leads and no stage so I had to stand on the Dancefloor so the people could see that the synth wasn't connected. Really embarrassing.

 

Q: As you're in psytrance for many years, what do you think about the evolution of psytrance in the last years on a musical point of view ? Have things gotten better/worse according to you ?

A: In Sweden it's going straight down because of the police. In the rest of the Europe it's more okay to listen to trance and have a party. The music starting as well to be a little bit boring, because everything has already been done. I think people has to be more open minded so the music can keep on developping.
