Double Six 23rd Anniversary sat 5 June 11 pm
Roger Shah At which point in your career do you believe you scored the biggest break? Any particular moment that stands out? I think that it was probably my single ‘Lost’ or maybe everything in 2008 that led up to that single. It was voted the No. 1 track of the year on A State of Trance the most popular trance radio show in the world, which was the culmination of an incredible year. Strangely though it’s really only the last 12 months that I feel that my life has changed dramatically. Are there other areas of music that you would like to explore someday? Any closet dreams to sing for a punk band or compose vocal melodies for a Gregorian Monk outfit?

As a man whose talent appeals to thousands of people across the globe, Roger Shah’s deep love for the melodies of trance have pushed him to the top of his creative game. He’s stepping up to the Double Six hotplate to headline their huge 23rd Anniversary line-up and it’s set to be a scorcher for all you dance floor junkies. The Beat got a Rogering before party time…
Ha – I love it! Those are mental images indeed... Why not go all out and go Gregorian punk?! The ultimate in out-there hybrid music! At this place and time I’m very happy indeed moving back and forward between the twin worlds of trance and chill-out (of which I do a lot). In terms of the future I think the motto is ‘never say never to anything’. Who knows what music I’ll be making in 20 years? Bringing a live element to your sets is obviously something that you see as an important aspect of performance. We’re expecting to see a keyboard by your side at Double Six, are there any other tricks that have been added to your sets lately?
