Best of 2012: Iversoon & Alex Daf

Name: Iversoon & Alex Daf
Location: Ukraine

Dimitri: Can you tell us how 2012 has been for the development of your career as a DJ and/or Producer?

Iversoon & Alex Daf: We have to admit that this year was very productive for Iversoon & Alex Daf, and we have been working hard on it. We have been released more than 15 singles and EPs as well as compilations in which our tracks were included. Our main achievement in 2012 was signing to Armada and Black Hole. That makes us really happy, and as a result our gig schedule has increased and we’ve started to get more orders for remixes and that’s great too.

Dimitri: If you look back at 2012, are there any moments in your musical career that you wish you had done differently in order to get a better outcome?

Iversoon & Alex Daf: We are pretty happy with what is happening now, and how 2012 has turned out for Iversoon & Alex Daf. We consider this year to be full of new experiences and achievements in a producer's aspect. Of course, we have experienced a lot of difficulties, but everyone has them eventually. We are looking for a good booking manager at the moment.
