Interview with Cosmic Gate South Africa feature
1. Personally, it is always a pleasure to see a mixture of world sporting events and musical performances clash together. What was your inspiration on the World Cup Tour and how did you go about planning such a special showcase?
Cosmic Gate: After so many years of absence playing in South Africa, it was a double pleasure for us to return, first for the gigs, and second of course with the chance to see some matches live, feel the special world cup vibe! and both of this has even gone over our expectations, the shows were simply awesome, the crowds were phenomenal, and the whole of South Africa was presenting itself as the perfect host for this outstanding event, we are really happy and glad this combination has worked out for us so great.
2. Were you able to see any live soccer action and if so what were some of your favorite highlights?
Cosmic Gate: Unfortunately it was not possible for us to see a German match live, but the whole vibe already of the public viewing areas was stunning, we enjoyed the whole week a lot!!! Read more

Interview with Jordy Lishious
1. When it comes to Your style in particular, whose music were or else are You a big fan of ? More like, who exactly influenced Your style ?
Jordy Lishious: Well, I actually like a lot of different music. I’m a big fan of hip-hop, but also of catchy pop-tunes. Phil Collins was the main artist I listened to when I was younger. I’ve got all of his albums, and also the stuff he did with Genesis. Genesis had some synth-based riffs in their tracks, and that always inspired me a lot. When I got a bit older, I really got into house / dance / electronic music. From the Happy Hardcore period to the tech-house stuff nowadays.

Interview with Artento Divini
1. Hi there, what have you been up to lately ?
Artento Divini: Hi all! Haha a better question would be “what haven’t I been up to lately”, because my life is a complete madhouse at the moment. I’ve been working on lots of new tracks and remixes lately, which have turned out pretty well. My newest single “Griffin” is dominating many dance floors, which of course makes me really proud, and it was even voted “Tune Of The Week” in Armin van Buuren’s show “A State Of Trance”. Next to being locked up in my studio almost every day, I travel a lot around the world to play my sets. Over the last couple of months I visited countries like Poland and Brazil, so you understand this takes up a lot of time. And of course there’s my bi-weekly radio show “Front Of My Bag” in which I present one hour worth of quality Trance and Progressive.
