Electronic Music Conference (EMC) took place before the recently ended Stereosonic music festival in Australia. There were many interesting subjects debated by panels consisting of all star DJs. Look into articles about the debates here and here.
“You can’t plan the future. You never know what’s going to happen. But as long as I always enjoy it and don’t see it as work, I’m going to continue and as soon as I feel like now it’s getting boring or annoying, I’m definitely going to stop.”
This is how Tjis commented when asked about how long is he going to continue to tear up the stages with over 200 shows a year. The abundance of shows came into consideration also when discussing a residency at Pacha:
“Next year I’m not sure if I can do it, because it takes a lot out of me to play there from the end of May till the end of September,” he revealed. “That’s four full-on months. So I don’t think I can commit to another residency in Ibiza next year. I’m probably not going to end up anywhere, maybe just a one-off show here and there. I’ve played there every week for ten years and I can’t do it anymore, I think.”
