<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22pt;">After an intense three years in the studio perfecting its sounds, German DJ and producer</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span><a href="http://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2014/09/exclusive-interview-with-dennis-sheperd.html"><strong style="line-height: 22pt;">Dennis Sheperd</strong><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span></a><span style="line-height: 22pt;">proudly announces his second artist album:</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span><strong style="line-height: 22pt;">'Fight Your Fears.'</strong><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span><span style="line-height: 22pt;">Set for release on his</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span><strong style="line-height: 22pt;">A Tribute To Life label on April 17th</strong><span style="line-height: 22pt;">, it is the first ever crowdfunded trance album. Including exciting collabs with singer/songwriters Christina Novelli, JES, Ana Criado, Molly Bancroft, Katty Heath and many more, it marks the next step in Sheperd's ever-thriving career.</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 29.3333339691162px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22pt;"></span><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22pt;"><span style="line-height: 22pt;">Dennis Sheperd, known for his open-minded and melodic mix of progressive, trance and electro, set himself a high goal - to crowdfund an entire artist album on PledgeMusic. After months of promoting it, 'Fight Your Fears' made the target just in time. A big risk, but proven worth it, Dennis says: "At one point I was almost giving up and thought I wouldn't reach the goal to crowdfund the release of this album. But my fans have made it possible and for that I will always be thankful!"</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22pt;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22pt;"></span><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22pt;"><span style="line-height: 22pt;">The album includes 10 brand new originals and collabs, along with chart-busters such as 'Bring You Home' ft. Chloe Langley, 'We Are' ft. Sylvia Tosun, 'Two Worlds' with Talla 2XLC and 'Edge of The World'. The highly anticipated remix that Sheperd made of 'The Masques – Heart of Courage', premiered on the A State of Trance 600 show in Sofia, also features on 'Fight Your Fears'. The album title is a clear and powerful message of Dennis to his fans. "It tells them to widen their horizons, step out of their comfort zones and give new things and experiences a try."</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22pt;"><span style="line-height: 22pt;">'Fight Your Fears' is the long-awaited follow-up to Sheperd's 2011 album 'A Tribute To Life', and in many ways shows the growth he's been through as a fully-fledged artist. In the meantime, the Berlin-based musician has set up his own record label, performed his sets in over 20 countries and launched his own radio show. On April 17th, he adds the release of his second artist album to that list. And for that, he's more than grateful. Dennis:" The production of this album has been an amazing journey. I was able to work with astounding talented people, some with whom I have also worked on the first album, and not only that: This album is also about new friendships all around the world! Music connects, not only the fans but also those who create it!"</span><span style="line-height: 22pt;"> </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Berlin, 14<sup>th</sup> January 2015 - An innovative, bold idea,
and quite the challenge. German producer, DJ and label owner Dennis Sheperd
likes to set himself new goals. Before February 9<sup>th</sup>, his
crowdfunding project on Pledge Music has to collect a funding of 8.000 Euro, or
the release of his ‘Fight Your Fears’ album will be cancelled. With 25% of the
goal reached, it’s going to be an exciting few weeks for the trance DJ. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
Best known for his ‘Fallen Angel’ & ‘Edge Of The World’ original, as
well as collaborations with Markus Schulz, Rank 1, tyDi and many more, Dennis
Sheperd has quickly left the rising star title behind him. In 2014, he set up
his very own A Tribute To Life label, named after his successful first artist
album and monthly radio show. As if running your own label isn’t demanding
enough, Sheperd also set himself the goal to release the very first crowdfunded
Trance album ever: his second artist album ‘Fight Your Fears’. Planning to
release it on A Tribute To Life and financing it on his own, Sheperd needs help
to pay the vocalists (may have been pre-financed already), designer of the
artwork, mastering engineer and the actual production costs of the physical CD. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dennis:” A big part of that 8.000 Euro will go to PR & Marketing – you have
to get your album out there. If I don’t reach that goal, I’ll cancel the album release
and all funders will get their money back. However, I prefer to think positive.
So many people have funded this project already, and enjoy exclusive previews
and updates. That’s the main reason I wanted to do this, to get my fans
involved and to be able to offer them exclusive stuff, such as a studio
session, tour around Berlin and booklet mention. I need the support of people
to realize that dream.”  </div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

Three weeks ago I came up with an idea; to write, produce, engineer and release an entirely NEW EP of songs without any financial support of a record label. Then release it to the world before Christmas - and instead of asking you to pay me for it, I’m asking you to donate the money to Pencils of Promise, a nonprofit organization that builds schools and implements education programs in the developing world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only is this an EP just from me, it’s featuring some of the most incredibly talented people I know! I was backed up by ‘The Ready Set’, someone who has sold colossal amounts of records and smashed top 40 American charts with radio hits. Multi-Platinum singer / songwriter Melanie Fontana, trance music star Audrey Gallagher, Jennifer Rene who you’ll know from my song ‘Carry You’ on my ReDefined album. Everyone who I just mentioned DONATED their time and creativity for free because they truly believed in the cause.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PLEASE, I’m literally BEGGING you here - TELL YOUR FRIENDS, SHARE THIS, like it, play it, support it and most importantly BUY IT. You can hear all my other music on youtube for free, but please buy this one. I don’t make any money from this project, every single cent will be donated to Pencils of Promise. If you love these songs, show two friends and ask them to spread the word to two more friends. If you’re a lover of EDM, electronica, (music in general actually), if you’re in a group like the ‘TranceFamily’ or just want to do your part to help humanity then together we can do this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can purchase the EP here: and all proceeds will benefit Pencils of Promise and their Season of Promise campaign to build schools in Ghana this holiday season. You can also donate more than the purchase of the EP directly to this page, any donation makes a huge difference!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
THANK YOU for your love and support, but more importantly, THANK YOU for caring about the lives of people who need our help. You have no idea how much I appreciate you.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hailing originally from Essen in Germany, Dennis Sheperd announced his arrival on the global electronic music scene in 2007, with the original, ‘A Tribute to Life’, a statement underlining his unconditional, positive outlook, and a huge dancefloor hit, supported by some of the world’s biggest DJs. His credentials were further underlined by his subsequent signing to renowned label, Euphonic Records. Euphonic founders, Kyau & Albert called him, “Germany’s most promising newcomer in Progressive Trance”, a plaudit he quickly proved with three successful releases in 2009; Dennis Sheperd ‘Black Sun’ (Euphonic), tyDi & Dennis Sheperd ft. Marcie ‘Somehow’ (Armada Music), and Dennis Sheperd & Cold Blue ‘Freefalling’ (High Contrast Recordings). These tracks were heavily supported in clubs and on radio around the world, winning a global fan base and guaranteeing Dennis Sheperd’s status as ‘one to watch’.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.359999656677246px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He won ‘Best New Artist of 2010‘ in his hometown of Essen, inspiring him to push his music career forwards, culminating in the release of his debut album ‘A Tribute To Life‘ in 2011 on High Contrast Recordings. This album made serious waves in the trance world, spawning the massive dancefloor hit, ‘Fallen Angel‘ ft Ana Criado, a geniune trance anthem that hit #1 in the Beatport Trance Chart. ‘Fallen Angel‘ remains a hugely popular track, sung along to by thousands of fans around the world when played by Dennis, and still a constant in the playlists of the biggest DJs in the scene. Other notable featured artists include Jonathan Mendelsohn on ‚ ‘Bring Me Back‘ and Molly Bancroft on, ‘Silence‘.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.359999656677246px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By the end of 2012, Dennis Sheperd had carved out a reputation as a trance DJ / Producer to be reckoned with. He mixed the second CD of the massive German Trance compilation ‘Technoclub’ and collaborated with Trance/Techno legend Talla 2XLC for the single release, ‘Two Worlds’. The promo video for ‘Two Worlds’ was shot at the ‘Technoclub’ album release party in Frankfurt. Further big collaborations followed in 2012, with Markus Schulz on ‘Go!’ a track that hit #2 in the Beatport Trance charts and with Ronski Speed on ‘Karoshi’.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.359999656677246px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s not just his productions and collaborations that have set dancefloors alight. Dennis Sheperd has established himself as a much in demand remixer. Artists who have requested his remix touch include Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Gareth Emery, Tiësto pres. Allure, Kyau & Albert, DJ Shog, tyDi and more. Expect more high quality remixes in 2014.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.359999656677246px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dennis Sheperd is a man with electronic music flowing in his veins. His love for trance, together with his unquestionable skills as both DJ and producer, mean that he leads the new wave of producers destined to become demigods of the dancefloor in the very near future. Watch this space...</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘<b>Bring You Home’</b> is the first single to be released on the brand new record label, <b>A Tribute To Life</b>, from the acclaimed German trance producer, <b>Dennis  Sheperd</b>, available from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_933407113" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">28 July</span></span> on Beatport, iTunes and download stores worldwide.  The fine-tuned, quality production of this vocally driven, big-room trance number sets the tone for a label dedicating itself to the release of only the best in electronic music.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With a list of supporters that reads like a ‘who’s who’ in trance music, including <b>Tiësto, Paul Van Dyk</b>, and <b>Gareth Emery</b>, Dennis Sheperd is in a prime position to launch his own record label. His collaborations with <b>Markus Schulz</b>, <b>Rank1 </b>and <b>Ronski Speed</b> plus remixes for <b>Above & Beyond</b> and <b>Armin van Buuren</b> are just a small nod to the respect he holds across the scene. This undeniable talent is set to come into play as he adopts his new role as Head A&R for A Tribute To Life.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">A Tribute To Life stands for freedom of creativity in electronic music, releasing killer cuts from the Dennis Sheperd studio in Berlin plus tracks from artists both established and new. There are </span>no formulas, no rules, and no trends to follow. Unquestionably, trance is the cornerstone of A Tribute To Life, but it’s not purely about the trance scene. Quite simply put, if it’s good, it works for the label, regardless of genre. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dennis Sheperd said:<i> “I wanted to create a label where <span style="color: black;">no one is telling me how a record should sound, or where there are musical borders to fit a certain label’s style. </span>Freedom of creativity is so important to me and through A Tribute To Life, I will have complete and utter freedom.<span style="color: black;"><u></u><u></u></span></i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">“The ‘A Tribute To Life’ name means a lot to me – I’ve used it for my debut artist album, single in 2007 and also my radio show, because I have been very lucky to have lived the life I have up until now, and A Tribute To Life, in all its forms, is my way to give life in general, and the people in it, something back; a 'thank you' if you will!”<u></u><u></u></span></i></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Bring You Home’ begins with a punching kick drum before the angelic vocals of <b>Chloe Langley</b> feed in – a vocalist well known to Dennis Sheperd fans having featured on previous releases ‘Freefalling’ and ‘Not Too Late’. The melody teases through and the uplifting tone sets in, until the track breaks down with just the right amount of ‘tough’ combined with uplifting keys and feel-good vibes throughout.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>How are you doing and how has 2014 been treating you so far, highlight of the year so far?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi ThinkinEDM! 2014 has been a pretty busy and interesting year so far. Already I have made a smooth transition into a new working space in Los Angeles. The new studio has been really inspiring and I have been able to finish off many of the songs I had started writing last year. I'm finally getting onto a better schedule and making a more balanced situation for myself. Making music is so much fun but I’m trying not to work until 3 am every night J.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>We are from South Africa, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear South Africa?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I actually performed in Johannesburg with Tiesto during his “Elements of Life” Tour so when I think of South Africa it brings back a flood of great memories from the tour and how much fun we had. The show was during the Rugby World Cup and I went on stage right after South Africa had won a game and the vibe was amazing. The show was absolutely wild the people were really excited.  We were all backstage hoping that they would win  and it was an incredible night after that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>JES is an Iconic name in the Trance industry; can you tell us more about the lady behind the name and how you get into music?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thank you, that is so sweet. It’s been a long road to this point but I appreciate your introduction very much! I’ve been writing songs since I was about 5 and I did my first professional recording session in my early teens. After that experience music really became the focus of my life. It’s been a bumpy ride. The world of music has had more than it’s fair share of ups and downs and I’ve done a lot of different things from singing in hotels to doing reference vocals for big pop producers. Over the years it’s become a way of life for me and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I started collaborating with people early on in my career but it wasn’t until I moved from NYC to Los angles and took a job in a Hollywood recording studio that I ever heard a trance song. I started working with one of the other assistant engineers who was really into the rave scene. We started working on music together late at night after the studio had closed. One of the first songs we produced together got picked up by Paul Van Dykk for his “Politics Of Dancing” mix compilation album and that opened the door to a lot of other collaborations for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Many of us are shaped by our upbringing. Do you think your hobbies and activities while growing up may have influenced you to follow a musical direction?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My mother was involved in the theatre and musicals so I grew up around performers and went to rehearsals and shows from an early age. We were lucky enough to have a piano and other instruments in the house to experiment with. My parents encouraged me to be creative. We enjoyed art at home and I painted and sketched and even tried sculpture! My mother took me to many of the amazing museums and galleries in New York growing up and music was a big part of our life. We listened to the radio and my parents had a big collection of records and CD’s that I was fascinated with from an early age. Music was playing all day long so music and performing was a so much a part of my childhood and I continued doing it while I was growing up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>We read that: When you first got the chance to record a song in a professional studio and heard your voice playing back through those huge speakers you knew right then, this was what you were meant to do, Do you remember what you felt when you heard your voice playing back, prior to this did you know you were blessed with the voice of an angel and the ability to sing?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That story is true, I had answered an advert for a singer in “The Village Voice”. It was the first time I had heard one of my own songs recorded and mixed in a professional studio and it was a dream come true! I was mesmerized by the process of recording and production. I had never really heard what my voice sounded like before that session besides my own home recordings. I have always been very critical of my voice and how I sing and I’m constantly trying to improve it. I’m sure at the time, listening back to my voice I would have been thinking OMG JES, you can do better than that lol, but after that I wanted to learn all I could about he process and get back into the studio and do it again…and that’s what I did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The lyrics to all your other tracks are extremely strong and moving, what gets you in the state of mind for writing a song, and where do you usually write your songs?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thank you.  I’m often working on a few different songs at the same time so I usually have a big pool of ideas I’m drawing from. I try to keep a note of anything that crops up and I collect phrases or words that resonate with me and I think may become a good idea for a song. Most of them are just ideas that have a feeling. I try to come up with song ideas most days, even if I hear stranger say something cool I'll write down! Sometimes I wish there were more ways to say things in the English language or more words to describe things but that’s part of the challenge to be poetic. I try to let my instincts rule my decision making with lyrics. It can be quite surprising, often things that don’t seem so good on paper sing very well so you have to try them all out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>What elements of your career bring you the most stress?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mostly interviews :) - only joking lol! Writing can be stressful at times if I have to meet deadlines. I try to maintain a my own standards with my material so if a song isn’t quite right for me I will keep working on it until I feel it’s perfect. Staying up to date with emails and the business side of music can be frustrating when you want to focus on the creativity, but it’s a very important part of getting the music out to the fans so you have to pay attention to it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>You recently did a track with Cold Blue and Dennis Shepherd 2 passionate and incredible producers, what was it like working with them?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They are great guys and I really like each of their work as producers. They both have a unique style but remain flexible with each other in a way that compliments their joint productions without diluting their integrity. They approached me with a track that was very dear to their hearts and I loved it. It had an edgy quality and felt like it had a new sound and was also classic trance. I’m always looking to connect with creative people so it happened to be really good time. After I heard it the first time I had an idea so we all decided to move ahead and work on it together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Runaway is incredible. We are loving it, what inspired the song and how long did it take to write the song?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We went back and forth on it for a couple of months.  We actually all had a great Internet working relationship. Good communication is key when pushing ideas back and forth and the guys were very open-minded. Over the time we worked on everyone’s ideas so it was a lot of fun and I’m really happy with the end result, they’re both amazing producers. The lyrics to the song were inspired by a road trip I took to get away from life in LA. I was travelling through the desert towards Palm Springs and the idea for the chorus just started to form in my mind. The melody came much later once I had heard the idea for the track.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This interview would be incomplete if I didn’t ask you a few questions about a few of our favorite JES songs. (We tried to make it fun :)) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>As the Rush Comes is in every trance fans classic library. What do you love the most about the track?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the mystery and minimalism. I think it really captured a moment in time for Josh & Dave as well as dance music, EDM culture and Me. Somehow it managed to represent the freedom and possibility that EDM had made for itself and it’s become a kind of timeless song. Dash Berlin has an amazing new remix that I have been playing in my weekly mix show ( <span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://www.unleashthebeat.com/" style="line-height: 24px;">www.unleashthebeat.com</a> </span>) so it’s still growing and spreading to new fans and I’m still asked to play it at every show :).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>What was the inspiration for Like a Waterfall with Solar stone?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just heard the original mix on Pandora a couple of days ago and it took me back to the time when we were working on it. It was written to an ambient 10 minute track that Rich (Solarstone) sent me. It came from a very deep place in my heart after a sad breakup and it kind of changed my life at the time. I recorded it in my apartment and I probably worked on it for 6 months. It was really just pure expression, I had no preconceived ideas of what it would be or how dance music should sound. It was just an outpouring.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>One thing you would change on The Light in Things if you had a chance?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wish it would have been a single because people still don’t know it and I really love that song and it’s message!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>One thing you dislike about Every Other Way with BT?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oh that one is perfect :) it should have won a Grammy! That album (These Hopeful Machines) was nominated for a Grammy but it unfortunately didn’t win. It had a lot of great songs on it that started to make people understand the power of EDM. It really deserved something big to happen for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>How long did it take to write NYC with Richard Durand?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It only took me a week or so to write and record that song. We were on a tight deadline, which helped us make some decisions quickly, and it also came a little easier because I was writing about my hometown :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>If you could sum up the single most important quality for an aspiring songwriter, what would it be?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Imagination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>You are extremely fashionable what fashion brand describes you and why?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love Alexander McQueen. It’s raw and edgy and wild and I think that’s one of the most exhilarating places for fashion to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Besides your instruments, what are the top 5 things that you must have while on the road?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Earplugs, throat drops, Apple Computer/ipad, throat coat tea, and iPhone or some type of audio recording</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dennis Sheperd is a man in high demand, his productions <span style="color: black;">played by the trance elite the world over including <b>Tiësto</b>, <b>Paul Van Dyk</b>, and <b>Ferry Corsten</b> to name a few. His remix skills have been sought after by the likes of </span><b>Armin van Buuren</b>, <b>Gareth Emery</b> and <b>Above & Beyond</b>, and with the launch of his new record label, <b>‘A Tribute To Life’ </b>later this year, plus a second artist album also in the pipeline, the Berlin-based tastemaker has firmly secured his name within the upper echelons of top dance producers.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first track on the EP, ‘<b>We Are Who We Are’</b> sends the listener on a compelling journey of synth-heavy build ups delivering a mind-blowing experience once the bass drops and evolving into a skilfully layered, melodic masterpiece. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Starting off with an atmospheric instrumental, the second track <b>‘Sofia’</b> jumps straight in with a pounding and resonant drum bass, taken over by a punchy acid lead line to deliver a distinctive and powerful production. Inspired by Dennis’s time in Bulgaria, ‘Sofia’ is a tribute to his Bulgarian fans who he considers some of the best in the world! With the track named after the capital itself, Dennis returns to Sofia on<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1337140590" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">17 May</span></span> for a backbreaking 7 hour set at the city’s well known <b>Cosmo Club</b>, which also follows an appearance at <b><span style="color: black;">A State Of Trance 600</span></b><span style="color: black;"> at <b>Arena Armeec</b>, alongside Armin van Buuren, Dash Berlin, and Ferry Corsten last year.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tipped to be yet another big release from the undeniably gifted producer, the <b>‘We Are Who We Are/Sofia’</b> EP is a mesmerising, hook laden paragon, which will – in no doubt – be tearing up trance dancefloors across the world.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
