Armin
van Buuren:
"I've been impressed with Jon's recent production
work as Aira Force and his A&R work for conspiracy.
The man is clearly on a mission to push his own
unique trance sound. He's still young and has
already established his name with the trance elite.
He can only get bigger. Don't say I haven't told
you so." |
