This enigma is a Swedish DJ and electronic music producer who thinks "Outside The Box." His style undeniably validates and keeps alive progressive house and trance. Marcus Schössow became a known name after the release of the Tiësto mix compilation, in which his track "Chase My Rabbit" was featured. Soon to release his new album under his alias "Oliver Englafjord," Marcus is ready to overpower the world with an open mind.

Big player in the game, he is one you should not miss, for your sensory faculty and musical consciousness.
 

There is no difference. I am myself at all times, for the good and bad sake of it. However, I don't want to be someone else. I’m happy with who I am and who I have become.
 

I try to look forward as much as I can. The past is the past, and you can’t change it. I like to live in the moment; that’s when you discover things.
 

I guess I was a normal nerd like every other kid in front of the computer. The difference is that I spent my time in DAW's instead of WOW or starcraft. The difference makes it.
 

I’d love to spend a day in the studio with either Trentemoller or Charlie May!
 

I’d love to do both. Maybe one day I'll start doing a live show, then I have both combined!
 

We started many years ago. Now, we're soon celebrating the 200th episode and it's growing fast worldwide. I play whatever I feel like in that radio show, so yeah, it's a good showcase that shows all the newest exclusive and best tunes from all EDM genres into one hour every week.
 

It was like therapy for me, as my best friend just tragically died in an accident when I was about to finish it.
 

I am not sure, but I think my music appeals to people with a free mind. The sad reality is that there are too many factors telling us what to think and have an opinion about. Don't listen to anyone one of them. Open your mind and listen to what your heart says.
 

I guess I’d be a journalist or into politics.
 

To do what I love to do.
 

I am living it already. I have no complaints.
 

Listen to your heart, freak out in the studio and don't get tempted by trying to copy someone else. Be yourself.
 

In 2012, you will see an insane amount of tracks from me. New singles every month, a few BIG collaborations, and then, I am releasing my album under my “Oliver Englafjord” alias. The “Englafjord” alias is where I showcase what real trance means to me — not this vocal stuff you hear on the radio.
 

We will reveal more about that in the start of 2012, but I can tell you my touring schedule looks insane for 2012 already.
 

That's a hard question; there are so many. I love the vibe of the new Joris Voorn vs Moby track. Then I am also really into the stuff Mike Hawkings and Pablo Oliveros are doing at the moment! I am glad we got them on the tone diary camp!
 

Keep doing what you are doing, and don't let anyone stop you. It’s your time, your generation and you decide what to do with it. Just make sure to add love into every single decision you take and you will be fine.
