My name is Rob, from the USA.

I've been a trance fan only for the last six years or so ... I got into it when I borrowed the Swordfish soundtrack from a friend of mine, then quickly discovered Dutch trance.

The company I work for has an office in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, so I have traveled there a few times and when there I've always made sure to pick up as much new music as possible. The highlight of one trip was taking a train to Breda and visiting Tiesto's record store, where to my shock and delight he was working that day. He was gracious and friendly, even posed for a pic .. and very nicely assured me that no, I'm not his oldest fan ever. 

My favorite music these days comes out of Anjunabeats, Euphonic, Magik, and Armada. I'm a big fan of Above and Beyond, Kyau and Albert, Ronski Speed, Misja Helsloot, Filo and Peri, PvD, and of course Tiesto and Armin van Buuren. I do miss the days when ID&T Radio would release so many great mix CDs.... but I keep myself busy by exploring the work of up-and-coming DJs and producers. (I end up doing lots of mail-order from the UK and The Netherlands.)

I also listen to classical and alt rock music .. and sometimes am in the mood for blistering breakbeat.

Well I'll stop going on and on .. nice to be here.

Hey great to see you onboard!
Anjuna is defo one of my fav labels, along with Armada.

Glad to see you had a pleasurable experiance with Tiësto.  Unfortunately when I met him he was in some sort of mood or something and was quite rude to me and my mates.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.  Your in good company.

Well they can't always be in a great mood. Everyone has bad days. As far as I know Tiesto is very down to earth person. Haven't met him in person though so I can't talk much.

Welcome to the site Rob! Glad to have you here
Please make yourself at home!

Yes well I am seeing him again in MArch, so hopefully he will be better.  I too have heard he is a pretty cool guy.

Hypnotic, thank you for your welcome. The whole reason I am here is that you contacted me on myspace and made me aware of this site. You are very good at marketing.

Hello Rob. Welcome onboard
