2011 was full of studio work – from remixes on Paul Oakenfold, Aly&Fila, Marcel Woods and many others to massive production of tracks for the new album, which will come out in spring 2012.
2010 and 2011 were marked with just another outstanding happening – the ‘Trancemission’ festival, the biggest and the most important event in Russian trance music live; Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, and Ferry Corsten took part in a series of Trancemission shows last year.
