Being referred to as the Queen of Trance, Nifra is quickly rising to the top with her trance sounds. Don’t let her sweetness fool you, she throws down a set that will leave you asking for more. She sits down to tell us more about being the first woman to play at Dreamstate (NY), having Markus Schulz as her mentor, being a heartbreaker, and her love of making music.

Neon Owl had a chance to sit down and talk with Dan Willis of Neptune Project on 9/3/16 at Verso in San Francisco shortly before he performed a five hour open to close set for charity withThe Apollo Aid Foundation. It was a pleasure getting to know Dan, learn about The Apollo Aid Foundation, and of course a bit about music. The event itself was wonderful as so many people came to not only hear some great music, including an hour long tribute to OceanLab, but to also support a great foundation and give to charity. This was truly a night of “Dance. Give. Inspire.”

I ran into Doug multiple times from coast to coast, through our mutual love of music festivals and Andrew Rayel. I was always that hardcore fangirl he spotted rockin’ my glasses and customized Rayel Family shirt, and he was that stealth photographer always on the prowl for the perfect shot. Our conversations started via Instagram, and then we magically became friends in real life.
For any of you that have been following the festival scene, you definitely have seen Doug’s photos featured as promo shots of many festivals, websites, and the biggest social accounts like Insomniac, Pasquale Rotella, EDC, Dash Berlin, Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Martin Garrix, Alabama Shakes, Taylor Swift, Gwen Steffani, David Guetta, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. Doug is one of the partners at aLIVE Coverage, photographing some of the worlds biggest music festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Mysteryland, Ultra Music Festival, Nocturnal Wonderland, Electric Zoo, BPM, Hard Summer, and Holy Ship!
Doug truly lives and breathes for what he does in the music scene. He has been in love with the festival scene for a long time now, and feels that there is no other feeling like being able to transport people to a specific moment in time of a show through his photos. He sits down with Neon Owl for a chat about how he got started in the industry, advice to all those looking to break in, to his most memorable photo and moment.

I met with Adi through another amazing photographer, Doug Van Sant, right before EDMbiz and EDC. I knew I was going to interview Doug sometime that week, but the naturally curious me came out over brunch and I blurted out all the questions that came to mind. Having Adi tell me his story of why he left his successful gig in music photography back in Israel to come to the U.S. made me realize that I absolutely wanted to share it with the rest of you guys. Having stumbled into the scene 12 years ago back home, he is the perfect example of not settling for second best and continuously creating challenge to achieve greater things. We talk about how he began working with the Insomniac team, and his wife that helped contribute to him living out his dream. Adi tells us about the many elements that goes into a perfect photo, and tons of great advice for beginners looking to break through. Never having taken a single photography class, Adi believes in being self-taught, as well as seeking advice after experimenting with your own technique and style. Make sure to check out some of Adi’s favorite shots, as well as our upcoming features on other incredible photographers!

Breathe Carolina has been in the music scene for over a decade now, and has found success from their rock days to their evolution into EDM. With all their success, they still remain as some of the most humble and kind souls we have come across. With their crazy schedules and hectic lives, the guys still manage to have close interactions with their fans, which is such an admired trait. They played a 21+ show in San Francisco at Ruby Skype a few weeks back, and some underaged fans were disappointed they couldn’t make it. David and Tommy made sure to make the time to meet up with these hardcore fans beforehand, and it was such a beautiful thing to watch. Check out our interview with them in San Francisco, where they chat about the transition, their friendships off scene, and David’s skills as a master chef. If you haven’t seen these guys live yet, they leave their heart and souls onto the stage and tears it up during every single performance!

A few weeks ago I went to the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn to watch my friends Win & Woo play. Alongside the guys were N2N, Golden Pony, Eau Claire, and AKKI. I hadn’t heard of AKKI until that same night, but she completely blew me away. She opened up the night and her energy was so incredible on and off the stage. Needless to say, I went up to her afterwards and told her that she was super dope, and that we needed more badass women to feature on Neon Owl. So I’m super pumped to present you this interview and guestmix by the talented AKKI!

We were super excited to sit down with Jim and Ray of Sick Individuals before their set at Ruby Skye in San Francisco. They have been ripping it up in the last few years playing at festivals like Tomorrowland, ULTRA, Sensation, Mysteryland and Creamfields. Their collaborations with Axwell and Dannic have also topped the charts, and we chat about the upcoming projects they have in the works! From all the chemistry we read about and and caught on screen, we couldn’t wait to chat with them up close and personal! They synchronized with one another better than any other duo we’ve met so far! It’s almost as if they coordinated to finish each others sentences, and practiced their dance moves on stage! Not having given them any prep questions, I knew that it truly came natural for them. Definitely looking forward to see what this incredibly fun duo comes up with next!

We are a community brought together by the love of electronic music. Watching our favorite DJs we get lost in a state of trance. We begin to idolize them because of the impact they’ve had on our lives. At the end of the day though, they are everyday people just like us bringing their piece of passion to the world. That’s what it was like sitting down with DJ Luke Bond. Not only did we learn about what drives his music creativity, we learn about a more personal cause that has had a strong impact. This guy throws down a solid set, trance, progressive house, or whatever he’s in the mood for and we look forward to watching his career soar.

Born and raised in a transnational cultural background, BEAUZ is an Electronic Dance Music producer duo who strive to create and imprint ageless tunes inside the minds of their audiences. Since their youth, the brothers had displayed immense passion and talent in the field of music; they learned and mastered classical instruments such as piano, violin, bassoon, and saxophone, which paved the basis of their musicality. During their years studying in Taipei, Taiwan, located at the heart of Asia, the yet-to-be DJ / producers were largely inspired by Asia’s raving nightlife culture, of which they first began developing impeccable interest towards Dance Music and Hip Hop. Starting 2013, the blood related brothers took on the stage name BEAUZ and began their EDM venture.

Matoma‘s rhythmic, soothing, and upbeat sound has been taking him to the top of the dance music scene in the last year. It was incredible to sit down before and after his Coachella debut, from Marquee New York to Ruby Skye San Francisco. I felt him jumping out of his seat before flying out to play at his dream festival for the first time. The crowds went crazy from East Coast to West Coast with back to back sold out shows! Not to mention, he brought in the big boys from Ja Rule, Sean Paul, to Akon! I’ve always been a fan of how much energy he brings to the table, and the emotions that come along with it. He is as sincere, humble, and genuine as they come. We look forward to seeing Tom continue spreading his positive vibes on his way to the top!
