I'm a 24 year old guy from the Netherlands with a few passions .. And one of them is: Music :)

I'm a solo artist and composer of melodic elektronic music with many influences in styles like trance (mainly), techno, ambient and dance.
Why this name?
The 'S' is from my last name Smeets and Trance for my main music style
Do you play live?
No, but wouldn't mind to do that so now and then :)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Internet is a great 'place' for 'unknown' artists who compose music just for fun (like me) to distribute their music :) Mp3 is a great codec for compressing music into a workable file on the internet, but I think it now has a bad name because of all the 'illegal' mp3 files ... and a lot of people still think 'mp3' is illegal :( It's a pity ..
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hm .. yes ... no ... don't know actualy ... it probably would change my life, and I don't know if I would want that at this moment. I like my life right now, and I want to keep that. On the other hand, a great record deal .. *sigh* .. sounds nice :)
Band History:
Started in 1997 using Screamtracker to compose music. Switched to Fasttracker later on. Released my first musics in 1998 on the Internet at Trax In Space. In 1999 I made my own homepage. Since 2001 I use Propellerheads Reason to compose my music. Since 1998 I release my music, first at TraxInSpace and The ModArchive (the good'old days :) and later on at mp3.com and Vitaminic and now, in 2003 also at Soundclick :) Composed music for PC games (Flux and Free Ride Trash) and for a website (MysteryDatabase.com)
Your influences?
I listen a lot to artists like Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, RMB, Airwave, Kraftwerk etc. Love Parade style music is also one of my favorites. On the other hand I also listen to a lot of other different genres like '70s, '80s, '90s, pop, rock or beatz :)
And preferably the loooong 12" versions! ;)
Favorite spot?
At the summit of the 'Rote Wand' 2704m. alt. - A mountain in Vorarlberg, Austria :) You are totally alone in the world up there :) Great to get inspiration for new music :)
Equipment used:
Software: Skale Tracker, Reason 2.5, MixMeister

Anything else...?
Euhh .. :) Oh yes, I like Formula 1 Racing !!
