'This track takes me back to my early DJ days. Even when I was playing for just 20 people, it made me dream of big stages.'
The iconic sax riff and hypnotic groove are a masterclass in simplicity with impact. It lit the fire of ambition — the first spark.
'I made this during a time of anger and inner fight. It reminds me I'm stronger than I thoght.'
Raw and explosive, this track channels emotion into bold production. The aggressive synths and fierce energy reflect personal transformation.
'The first time I heard this, I cried. It touched my soul.'
Tiësto's iconic trance rework of Barber's classical piece is so emotional. A timeless anthem that fuses euphoria with depth.
'This song represents where I'm headed. After everything, I finally feel like I'm moving in the right direction. It's one of those tracks I know I can play throughout my entire career.
"It's versatile and fits with any style within dance or main stage sets. It has powerful elements, that signature main stage sound, and an incredibly catchy vocal. I think that's the secret - the vocal, but also the drop.
"It's a timeless track, and I'm 100% sure it will keep dance floors buzzing for years to come.'
'It reminds me of being a kid dreaming of a different life. A mix of innocence and the desire to fly. A cornerstone of melodic dance music. The iconic piano melody holds nostalgia, hope, and an everlasting sense of wonder.'
'On long nights alone in the studio, this track gave me peace.'
A slow-burning masterpiece. Layered, introspective, and deeply textured — it became a companion through solitude and self-discovery.
'During a tough breakup, this song held me. It said everything I couldn't put into words.'
Trance at its most vulnerable. The soaring vocals and emotional build tap into the pain of letting go, and the beauty in that release.
'A true inner journey. It helped me accept that growth often comes with pain.'
Meditative and immersive, this track is a space to reflect, surrender, and evolve. A sonic mirror for transformation.
'It connected me with my softer, feminine side. Reminded me I can shine without fighting.'
Kygo brings warmth and flow to Beyoncé's soulful vocals, creating a space where strength meets softness in perfect balance.

'This track always lifts me up. Even in doubt, something inside me keeps dancing.'
A dancefloor anthem for the soul. Melodic, uplifting, and endlessly emotional — the kind of song that reminds you to keep going.

Failed US actor jailed for Dublin rape had tried to present himself as a star
Kevin Yungman (32), who has an address in Florida, raped the 19-year-old Brazilian au pair at an Airbnb on Usher's Quay on June 4, 2018 A US actor and singer jailed for five years for raping a Brazilian woman in Dublin desperately tried to present himself as a star, despite failing to make it in the film and music industries. Kevin Yungman (32), who has an address in Florida, raped the 19-year-old Brazilian au pair at an Airbnb on Usher's Quay on June 4, 2018. The Central Criminal Court heard how he had placed his arms around the neck of the woman causing her to pass out before he raped her. The woman described in her victim impact statement that she had experienced panic attacks, mood swings, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, dysfunctional relationships and losing her faith in God, in the aftermath of the rape. Kevin Yungman News in 90 Seconds - Saturday, August 2 Yungman was arrested as he tried to board a flight out of Ireland after the rape and questioned by gardai before being released while a file was prepared for the Director of Public Prosecution who directed he be charged in 2020. He was eventually arrested in the US in August last year and extradited to Ireland. Yungman was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina but moved to the US as child and chased fame from an early age as an actor and singer. However, his acting career never really took off as his credits, according to his own IMDB page, include a small role in a Spanish language children's TV show Grachi, an uncredited role in Step Up 4 and a credit for reenactment scenes in a TV series about killer kids. He also bizarrely listed himself as playing the 'lead' in the 1999 animated film version of The King and I which was made when he was aged just six. He is not listed in the the actual credits of the film and appears to have added the entry himself to IMDB. Despite his lack of TV and film fame, Yungman was big into self-promotion on various websites including YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Three years before carrying out the rape, he described himself as a '22 year old Natural Problem Solver, Networking Rockstar, Relentless Optimist, & Lean Mean Transformation Machine.' Writing about himself in the third person, he said: 'Kevin Yungman was born in Argentina where he began his singing 'career' at the age of 2. Since his childhood, he has always had an inclination towards the arts. Kevin could be consistently found asking his parents to take him to local productions, performing in school plays, and singing everyone in his house (and sometimes himself) to sleep.' He goes on to say he and his family moved to Utah in the US when he was seven. 'Not knowing much English was a struggle, but even though the language and customs changed, his desire for singing and acting remained strong,' Yungman wrote about himself. 'Any chance he could get to perform, he would take it. Just as he was beginning to get accustomed to everything, his family moved again. Landing in sunny Florida was an adventure in itself, beaches weren't exactly common in Utah.' He went on to say how he attended acting and singing classes and claimed to have received 'first place trophies in multiple national singing competitions'. He also said he guest starred in a touring Broadway show Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy when it was staged in Florida and claims to have performed for celebrities and political figures including the 'vice president of the United States'. He also claimed to have been 'part of multi-million dollar full length feature films' despite none being listed on his IMDB. Despite his acting and singing careers never really taking off, Yungman presented himself online as a star and bizarrely described himself living in Los Angeles 'where he is continuing to grow his performing career at an alarming rate'. At the same time he was making this claim he was also describing himself as a motivational speaker and said he considered himself 'one of the hottest and fastest growing speakers on the market'. He also described himself on websites as a successful entrepreneur. Despite his bold claims about his success in singing, acting, motivational speaking and business, he was also offering private singing lessons online or in person to make some cash. Ironically, the publicity hungry failed actor has now had more media coverage than he did in his entire acting and singing careers after being convicted of rape. The Central Criminal Court heard he first met the Brazilian woman in Paris three months previously when they both happened to be on a walking tour of the city. She was 19 at the time and had been working in Dublin. Yungman was 25 years old. They had never met before. They spent the day together, had wine and chocolate at the Eiffel Tower and returned to his accommodation where they had consensual sex. However, during this meeting Yungman had told the woman at one point to start breathing fast, take a deep breath and hold it in before he placed a hand on her neck causing her to pass out. The woman told him that she had been scared by it. They stayed in contact and agreed to meet again in Dublin the following June. They rented an AirBnB and again there was consensual sexual activity before Yungman raped the woman. He placed his arms around her neck and squeezed hard. She tried to keep his arms away from her but she could not move out. She later told gardaí she was not strong enough. She told gardaí that at that point she passed out. Yungman tried to turn her over and told her 'that's my girl, that's my girl' before he raped her. The woman told gardaí she could not cope with it and asked him to 'please stop' telling him 'my body cannot take it'. Yungman said he would give her a break and they could go back to it later.
