Proteus [Audio]: Darker than black metal
by angy on September 8th, 2009

Dr Willis has been a fixture on Australia’s trance and hard dance scene for a while now, but in 2009 he’s definitely been taking things up a notch. In addition to the Slinky and Gatecrasher tours, his new Freefall record label has been making waves. [more]
While ITM has seen some impressive entries in the ‘Defqon.1 Maximum Exposure Competition’, none were quite able to match the spectacular effort of the man we know as the 'Defqon.1 streaker'. [more]
