I must watch the same videos 3 or for times a week ;) I still remember picking up the CD single of take a free fall every Monday I used to pick up a bunch of releases without fail I miss the 90's I hate all this download streaming Spotify (I never use) I still buy CD singles and maxis today even if I already own a copy... from my late teens ro my late 40's I never stopped....ill be buying CDs forever of all the 90's I will always find something new......on disc...

I love this track, it was the first trance music I ever listened to, I caught the video on the TV when I was a kid. Mind-blowing moment 😅

[@mickqQ]

I remember my mate brought a DJ DAG tape back from Amsterdam in the early 90s, It soundtracked that summer , Absolutely loved it Oh Superman ….

Loved DJ Dags work in the early 90's have a bunch of these tunes on vinyl

Thank you

[@PrettyBlueThings]

Great interview!

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@SuperMagicman74]

One of the best DJ's ever!

[@AL573]

Dag is a living legend and the song he did with his daughter together is huge. Hopefully he will recover from his accident. He is in poor health, isn't he?

[@spacecat7295]

Der Motorradunfall war 2023. Geht ihm wieder gut.

[@Jbm01006]

Could you also do an interview with Benno de Goeij about one of his many classics? The man deserves more recognition

[@muzikxpress]

@@Jbm01006 I did ask him 3 times already…. No luck so far….

[@robbierobbsen7615]

Very good but why not interviewed with Rolf Elmer together. Dag & Rolf was Dance 2 Trance.

[@muzikxpress]

Well, that’s very simple: have you seen them together after they split up? There’s your answer …😉

[@Prettorian]

@@muzikxpress I take it you talked about it with at least one of them in private. Are they at least on speaking terms? If they want to keep the issue private, we'll accept your silence! 😉

[@BT_watch87]

Am I crazy or is there a Technics DZ 1200 next to the lava lamp? The failed Technics answer to the CDJ?

[@kixxalot]

Did you have to catch a train? ;) I guess the idea was to make your videos a bit compact, but here the interview feels a bit rushed to me.

[@muzikxpress]

Not at all, but sometimes people give long answers and sometimes people give short answers, which obviously makes the video a lot shorter. Not much I can do about that 😉

[@ady2416]

im counting the seconds ;)))) I always liked this track there's something about it........

[@hi-fiklubben6750]

Its uplifting and melancoly at the same time. And the sound signature of the track is wonderful🔊♥️

[@Satssetyoufree]

Great to have this interview after all these years. Thank you DJ Dag for pursuing your own heart, making this great track and choosing a male vocal. You are correct, this would have been a top 10 track had it had promotional backing. Take A Freefall is one of the best dance tracks of the 90's and Tony Clark's vocal is sensational.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the interview!

[@ady2416]

Here we have another exceptional one. 😁

[@fezmania5078]

Nice interview. Good to know about the background of the classic tune. Thanks for doing this.

[@muzikxpress]

@@fezmania5078 thank you as always! Much appreciated! 🙌🏻

[@0berfoerster]

DAG!!

[@awesomeferret]

I am really looking forward to this one. I've watched that music video zonked out so many times... It's already quite nostalgic for me. It's so unique and bizzare and the song is so melodic and sweet while still hard. The music video is one of my favorites of all time in the genre. I hope he discusses why they went with the theme of a topless dude sitting on a spinning CGI gear. What software did they use to do the compositing in the video?

[@muzikxpress]

@@awesomeferret I did ask a little bit about the video too, but not sure if all your answers about the video will get answered 😉

[@pazhanif8325]

This was one of the first Dance to Trance tracks that introduced me and my friends to the amazing german trance scene in the 90's... We followed DJ Dag all the way to club UK in London on many occasions when he was djing... incredible memories ❤

[@simonjones386]

unique tracks you made and so original

[@DUB1ification]

Thanks great interview,thus is 1 of my favs & the PVD mix on ybe flip ❤ also love "Pysclodelic Solutions"

[@muzikxpress]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! And yes, that Paul van Dyk remix is great!

[@AttentionEarthPeople]

👏👏

[@tomschreiner3717]

Would be interesting to hear something about Power of American Natives. I presented this song in English class when we started to learn stuff about America in class 8 here in Germany in 2010. At that time 90's techno music wasn't very popular [anymore] for teens - excepted me :).

[@muzikxpress]

I already did one about it with Jam El Mar a few years ago, check the links in the video description 😉

[@androgyny77]

Does anyone know in the track "Where is Dag?" where he is? I've never understood the vocal "Where is Dag? He is in *something something something*

[@SoundofFrankfurt]

"He is in the Laser Room"

[@SoundofFrankfurt]

The Laser Room was a small room in the Dorian Gray Club where the DJs could retreat for a moment to freshen up 🤪 There were a lot of rumors about the Laser Room at the time about what had happened there.

[@androgyny77]

@@SoundofFrankfurt Thank You So Much! So good to finally have that itch scratched - but the fact it comes with historical significance, and that you've taught me some history of club culture that I otherwise didn't know is fantastic! :)
