Sounds supreme is a platform on Pulse Radio that allows me to basically extend the music boundaries of a normal show that may just focus on one genre & also enables me to get producers who might not necessarily get the opportunity to get their music on mainstream stations to play out

on the sounds supreme show. its also about showcasing new & unreleased music from wider section of music that is available and of course done with a soulful underlining.

14. What can Munich club & event providers do better for dance music as a culture in the region?

Dance culture will be what it is here, disco orientated origins determine that but I guess a few things are starting appear from month to month but I guess just do something unexpected & captivating in other genres would be a good start.
