1: What is your greatest achievement as a deejay?
I really think at this point of my DJ career, i enjoy every performance the same. My first performance was at a small club in Germany. I was a completely unknown act and had the chance to play primetime in front of 150 people. I was so nervous, but had so much fun at the same time. I try to keep that vibe with every set i play. My biggest party was the Hardcore Warriors event in Wuppertal (Germany), where i played the closing act on mainstage. I expected to play for very few people, but the club was packed with people, that went completely nuts.Being the first German to ever play at Masters of Hardcore radio, was a very big honor for me, too.
2: How did you come up with your deejayname?
When we started making music, we thought about many names, none of them quite hitting the spot. We were two guys, so we wanted a 2 in it. And we were making sounds, so we needed that. The result was: soundzē (which equals squaresoundz, if written out). After splitting up, i just decided to keep it and my former colleague was fine with it.
3: Do you have a special message to all people who read this?
Live your dreams! This sounds clichee, but it is damn true! When i went to parties 4-5 years ago, cheering for Paul Elstak or Partyraiser in the front row, literally dancing my ass off, i would have never expected myself to be on the same label as them, or having people dance to my music and cheering me on. All this has happened so fast and made such a positive impact on my life, that i can only beg people to believe in themselves. I know i sound like Obama, but: Yes, you can :D
4: What is your favourite headphone brand?
Im not picky about that, as long as they do the job and sound nice. I'm using some Technics headphones, but dont ask what model...
5: What do you like to drink during and after your deejayset?
While spinning, i mostly drink non-alcoholic stuff. I like to keep my mind sober, while working. Afterwards, i might be down for some booze, but always keeping my limit. Favorite drink: German Beer! ;)
