DJs, Producers & Influences
- Andy Moor Andy's sound is like no other. One of my absolute favorite producers of the past decade (2000 - 2010). He's a household name now but if you're new to the scene, make sure to check him out!
- Armin Van Buuren Armin's been a huge influence to me over the past decade. He needs no introduction. My favorite Armin tune: Communication
- Gareth Emery Good friend and well-known DJ, producer, label owner in the trance world. Brought Gareth out to L.A. for his first gig in 2004 when I was doing my Club Heaven residency. He's come a long way since then!
- Kyau & Albert These guys are one of my top 10 favorite acts all time. Not only are they now trance legends, but they are truly amazing DJ/performers with awesome energy behind the decks. Proud to also call them friends.
- Markus Schulz One of my personal favorites. Have had the chance to play with him many times over the years and never a bad show! Also the founder of a longtime favorite label, Coldharbour. Get it Markus!
- Menno de Jong This is my really good friend Menno's site. He's an amazing producer, DJ and label owner who is known all over the world for his unique productions and DJ sets.
- Noel Sanger Noel is an amazing talent. Great person and phenomenal DJ and producer. I play a ton of his tracks in my sets but if you haven't heard this guy yet, you're missing out!
- Paul Van Dyk My #1 influence in starting dance music. #1 DJ in the world for 3 years in a row, a dance music innovator and veteran, Paul Van Dyk continues to tear through the world of EDM like a tornado. Mad love & respect!
- Randy Boyer of Enmass Randy Boyer is one of the top talents from the US, not to mention one of my best friends and someone I write music with. Super talented DJ/Producer and one to watch!
- Thomas Bronzwaer Thomas Bronzwaer is one of tranceland's most prized producers from Holland, who's churned out hits like Close Horizon and Constellation on PVDs Vandit, and Look Ahead on Armin's ASOT. You can expect to hear more collabs from us in 2021!!

Kristina Sky's Favorite Bands
- Face to Face One of my favorite punk rock bands all-time. I've been going to their shows since the 90s and these guys play some seriously legendary sets. Favorite Album: Face to Face (self-titled)
- Hypnogaja Before going fulltime with DJing, I worked with bands. Hypnogaja is one I have a long history with. They are the hardest working band I've ever witnessed and when I'm not trancing out, you'll most definitely find them blasting in my car!
- Jimmy Eat World One of my favorite Emo bands since 1994. Super musical guys. Lyrical geniuses. Make sure to check their older material too, as they have moved into a more "poppy" sound over the last decade. My favorite albums: Static Prevails & Clarity.
- The Dave Matthews Band My absolute favorite band of all-time. Hands down some of the best live shows I've ever seen (and I've seen hundreds, not counting DJ sets!) My favorite albums: Under the Table and Dreaming + Live @ Red Rocks.
- The Smashing Pumpkins One of the best rock bands ever. Massive musical influence for me. Favorite Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
