What a ride 2025 has been! The countless people I got to dance, hug, chat and take pictures with both on my 25th anniversary tour and at the first ever Sandstorm Run this year humbles, energizes and fills me with love! Some people I encountered for the first time, and many I’ve seen a bunch of times over the years. I simply can’t thank you all enough for enabling me to continue on this journey of a dream “job”. A huge thank you to Michelle, my manager and wife, for bringing the Storm 25 tour to life; to Samppa, Mike TotalVision Talent & Paul TMRW Agency for booking the Storm 25 shows; to my TM & VJ, Rodrigo Roura, for your hard work and uplifting vibes on the road; to Jack Fone for the Storm 25 lighting & visuals design; to Urban Rebel PR for the incomparable global PR and Liekki Promotion for Finn PR; to One Nine Nine for the killer digital marketing as always; and to Katja Presnal for executive producing the Sandstorm Run. I’m grateful for all of you. For now, I will continue my holiday break recharging with the family and then there are a couple more Storm 25 shows in January & February. Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year! I’ll see you on the dance floor! #trance #electronicmusic #2025

This STORM 25 world tour has been incredible everywhere – and it was so special to finally bring it home to Kattilahalli in Helsinki last Saturday.
