Review by Speciman Feb 11, 2004
DJ Snowman is the DJ that influenced the most my way of mixing. When I discovered Hardtrance, in 1999, I was given some tapes including a few ones mixed by DJ Snowman (mixed between 1994 and 1998) and I immediately appreciated his style. Fast, melodic, acid, etc...He was able to mix all the style that I like and apart from that, I liked so much the way he mixed. Really clean and always the good choice of tunes which suited so well...Most of the records I'm very attached to were firstly heared on one of his tapes.

Nowadays he's just one of those "famous" swiss DJs that are residents in the biggest clubs and who play this commercial style between Trance, Progressive Trance and Hardstyle...What a pity...It's sad but I'm nostalgic of a period I haven't even known and very often, when I listen to a fast Hardtrance mix, I wonder how it is possible that Trance changed in that way...Peace!
