Tomorrowland 2014 will be documented as one of the brightest and most important year of the world's leading electronic dance music festival that gathers every year in Belgium visitors from all over the world. The 10 years celebrations were the shiniest and most exquisite that you could ever imagine. Tomorrowland's key to success are the festival goers. The most up for it crowd that travelled from miles away just to experience once in their lifetime the mad atmosphere that the festival offers non stop for 3 days.
Tomorrowland's 2014 two weekends edition was beyond expectations and surprised positively every single visitor that has only positive memories to remember that shared with their loved ones in their social networks or when they returned back home and they were narrating for hours how Tomorrowland change their life.
There were so many reasons to be amazed while you walk or dance around the Tomorrowland grounds. The mindblowing state of the art Mainstage packed with lazer effects and pyrotechnics, the new magnificent stages such as the beautiful and truly theatrical Opera stage, the magical Garden of Madness decorated with natural flowers and even swimming pool, the smallest underground stage Rave Cave and of course the boat stage that Bonzai Music had its fantastic line up of top class djs.

Bonzai Music is considered to be one of the cornerstones in Belgium's contribution to the global electronic dance music culture. The legendary imprint from Antwerp is responsible for many well known classics that either remixed, reworked and recreated thousands times. The line up both weekends was absolutely incredible including Airwave, Bonzai All Stars, CP, DJ Fire , Eric Powa B, Franky Kloeck, Ghost, Nico Parisi. M.I.K.E Push, Phi Phi, Yves Deruyter, Zolex, Bountyhunter and Phi Phi. Proof of the popularity and influence of the beloved label until today is that the stage was packed during the whole day and there were many fans who came specifically for this stage to relive memories from the past and enjoy the classics. After our interview at Luminosity Festival in Amsterdam I met up again with Laurent Veronnez aka Airwave right after his set at the Bonzai stage and I requested an interview. He is very polite and warm hearted person and he accepted to record an interview that is ready for your eyes and ears only to watch it right here.
First of all Airwave talks about his dj set at the 2nd weekend and if he is satisfied with the result and the crowd response to it. Next he tell us his opinion about Tomorrowland festival and he gives his wishes for the organisers of the festival for its 10th year anniversary. Next he reveals his personal key to happiness and offers an interesting spiritual advice as well to the viewers of the interview. I asked if the dj set he delivered at the 2nd weekend was exactly the same with the one at the first weekend and he chooses some of the stand out tracks from his 2nd weekend dj set. Also we discuss about the contribution of Bonzai music in the global electronic dance music culture and if the new direction of the label towards deeper progressive house sounds pay off. He speaks of course about his record label LCD and the current and forthcoming releases on it. Then he mentions his personal releases on Bonzai Progressive & JOOF and he tell us about his forthcoming dj gigs all over the world including Argentina, thanks to his signing with Jam Dj Agency in UK. Finally I ask about the new influences that incorporates in his productions and he give us a very personal and surprising message to the viewers of the interview.
Thanks very much to Laurent Veronnez for his time to film this interview.
