bye-bye
Today is the day for the final pack of news. Last years i totally dedicated to music. There existed nothing at all for me except ideas i wanted to realize.
Those were absolutely great years, about wich i don't regret. It was experience, passion, work, it was just my life.
I got so many friends all around the globe. I got even more...i got fans.
Unfortunately today is time when i should say that i end my musical carrier. I'm absolutely sure in what i do and in my decision. There are to many reasons for it, wich i don't want to make public. But i think it's the right time to set a final point in what i did last years.
The desicion wasn't so easy to take.I'm sure there wll be people who will be happy to read this and there will be people who will miss my work. Anyway, i don't see any strong motivation to continue work, specially now. I was too long into it, and seeing crap going on, and on, and on on this scene is over me.
Additionnaly wanted to thank all the people who supported me:
Thanx goes to Hernan Cattaneo, Armin Van Buuren, Perry O'Neil, whole Armada Team(Maykel, Sander- big "thank you"), SOG Records Team(Shigs, Tobi - "Thank You" for trust in me)
Pangea Records, Kasey Taylor and Vapour Records, Neil @ Nascent Records, Keith McDonnel, Moshic
Ken Spector, Phil and Chris Lobsinger, Nick Warren.
Special "thank you" goes to Michael Darius(wish you happiness in marriage) and Siberian Son just for being one of my best friend.
Last months i was working on an album, so the finished tracks for this album you can get here:
