It took me a while, but I finally finished my exclusive interview for TranceSound UK with swedish dance producer/dj Marcus Schössow.
So, here I give you, Marcus Schössow!

1. After listening to your tracks carefully, it could be said that some of them boast a very dark feeling in contrast to more luminous tracks such as “Progresia - The shelter”. Asking for an introspective answer, what lies inside the hood that makes that big difference ? Did something happen that marked your music and your life ? Are there two Shössows inside you?
Marcus Schössow: Impressive question ! And, yes, there are two schossow, a very kind gentle emotional and a very very ruff bastard. I prefer them both, it makes my life alot more fun! All the Progresia’s tracks are made with a very strong feeling of either disappointment or love, I think tears behind sun glasses means by far the most to me. I would consider to be a borderline I guess… not a psycho, but right on the boarder hahaha!
2. Please name us what have been your greatest gig, and the most disastrous one.
Marcus Schössow: Most horrible was a gig in Norway 2 years ago for 5 people in a club for like 1000 people, promoter forgot to do marketing. Oh well, those 5 who showed up ended up in the bar getting very very drunk ! Best gigs hmm, it’s always good when it’s good, but Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland always gets naughty, filthy and really really wild!
3. How do you see yourself in the years to come?
Marcus Schössow: I just wanna do my thing
4. Is there a specific fact that drove you to begin your musical career?
Marcus Schössow: It was way to dig into myself and be alone in my own little world. Then I found similar minded people and I have became very very social ! But I love to dance and I love to party, it’s something that makes me go on in this world of falseness. An euphoric moment in front of 10,000 people can never be fake 
5. Besides electronic music, what do you enjoy listening?
Marcus Schössow: Laidback rock music like Jose Gonzales, Coldplay etc…
6. Totally agree. Now, for the next question, Is there a track that actually keeps you out of sleep?
Marcus Schössow: 93 returning remix holdens of nothing, how da hell did he came up with that??
7. If you had to choose the perfect ambient to make a gig, how would it be, where would it be and why?
Marcus Schössow: In a shady basement club for about 1,000 people, no air condition, good sound system and then back to back with my great mates from my old hometown, (ie: Thomas Sagstad, Sebastian Brandt, Max Kristensson, Alyosha, Mazin Abood etc).
8. There’s a rumor going around that you worked on a track with Casey Keyworth aka Breakfast. Is this true or it’s just a silly joke someone invented?
Marcus Schössow: Hell yeah, it’s true, I think it will be out soon ! It’s very experimental but deffo a forward step for today’s trance sound.
9. How has your country’s culture influenced your music, if at all ? We all know Sweden has loads of Viking stories!
Marcus Schössow: Not at all, Sweden only has long winters, it drives us nuts so we make loads of music!
10. Anything extra you would like to add, just to wrap up, or a word to your fans and/or TranceSound.net members?
Marcus Schössow: Follow your inner voice and heart!
