The scene in Belgium is pretty big to be honest.
We've got a few sick producers/dj's in this little country, the raves are most of the time massive & the crowd is just awesome.
And there are always crazy moments, everytime you play a gig. People going crazy on your set is just wicked.
Thanks so much Wonkap for doing the interview and being so super sick massive big ups.
