Interview to The Thrillseekers:

1-In Spain there is just a little and kinda minoritary group of people
who knows Trance music, but luckily this genre is starting to spread and
attract people. Could you tell me who is "The Thrillseekers" for the people
who is getting started on Trance?

The Thrillseekers is just me, Steve Helstrip. I've been producing
electronic music as far back as I can remember and more recently - last 6
years - trance.

2-Different pseudonyms cover different grounds or interests?

Working under different names allows me to work with other artistes. For
example, Andy Perring and myself produce under the name Insigma. Another
collaboration is Rapid Eye, with the label boss at ATCR, Tim Stark. Some of
my other guises have included Hydra and En-Motion.

3-Why producing Trance? What is for you a nice melody?

The music I produce tends to be quite emotional, so it kind of fits the
trance genre. I think a melody on its own isn't very interesting. It's only
when it's set against a moving chord pattern that it comes to life. It's
often the very simple melodies which work the best.

4-Does people in your country talk about Spanish Trance Scene? Have
you ever been over here? In case you have, what is the thing you like the
most?

I've only spent time in Ibiza, which is obviously a very popular destination
for us Brits! As for mainland Spain, then I've heard it's a great place to
DJ and that the trance scene is very fresh.

5-You have announced you're going to set up a new Label. Is it true?
What can you tell us about it?

This is indeed true. I've set up my own label, Adjusted, to release all my
future productions. The first release, The Thrillseekers NewLife, will be in
June and includes a remix by Lange. The second release will Synaesthesia
2004 with mixes from Ferry Corsten, Pulser, Mesh and myself. The website is
www.adjustedmusic.com

6-What goes through your mind when you remember "Synaesthesia"?

It was a great time for me, as the trance scene was really taking off in the
UK. I thought I had a good tune on my hands, but never expected the success
it received. My only regret is not going to Ibiza in '99 to hear it first
hand in Amnesia.

7-Do you consider yourself more like a Producer or like a DJ?

I still think of myself as a producer mainly (that's what it says on my tax
return anyway). DJing came much later, though the boundaries are becoming
less clear all the time.

8-Insigma... How has it been the experience of producing together with
Andy Perring?

Andy and I have been friends for years, so it's great to produce music
together.

9-Iain Jennings makes the vocals... Tell us something about this
artist.

Iain is an old friend from music college. He doesn't write the vocals
though! We have written a track together, The Thrillseekers 'Escape'.
Normally, he's the keyboard player for Mostly Autumn, a UK prog rock band.

10-Big names remixing your productions...What do you feel about this?

It's always really exciting when someone you respect remixes your track. You
do, however, have this image in your mind of how it will turn out, so you
have to be prepared to be disappointed at the same time.

11-And, on the contrary, what do you feel when you remix theirs?

It's great to be asked. The track is more important to me than the artist,
though.

12-Classic questions: A tune that means everything for you or that has
influenced you through the years. Do you have any anecdote to tell us that
has happened in any of your gigs?

One of the classics for me is Chicane 'Offshore'. Still love this record and
it has influenced me greatly.

13-Could you tell us something about your new projects?

Sure. I'm currently remixing Sweet Sorrow from Ferry Corsten's album. Next
up I'll be remixing the new Lange single, while concentrating on my record
label, Adjusted.

14-And to finish this interview, what would you say to the people who
visits Solotrance.com or the people who loves Trance in general?

Please continue to support the scene by buying the music you love. Bye for
now!

Thanks to all people that loves Trance!!!
