“My daily life is pretty mainstream: during the week I work at a bank. Every day I see people go to their workplace like zombies. And I am also part of this, but I don’t want too. So, going to a party makes me feel like I am part of something real and different. A place where I can be myself. I don’t have to hold back. It made me more confident and expressive in my daily life as well.
The harder techno styles really touch my soul. I feel it in my body, heart and stomach area. The strength of the sound comforts me. The constant tempo and vibe give me energy. You can just go all night and you don’t even know that time has passed by. That is really magic about techno.
I am someone with lots of energy. I am happy, bubbly and very positive. I also hear this in techno. Even the darkest techno represents this bulb of energy. I can express my character as well. I like to take care of people, and to be there for them. I can also do this on the dancefloor. I hope more people will experience the positive vibe at festivals and techno parties. It’s one big playground. It is such great experience for us human beings. Just try it!”
