The Soundcation Blues are real! What an awesome week this was. Reading all the heartwarming messages and reviews from our participants reminds us why we do this in the first place. ❤️ From deep 1-on-1 sessions and breakthrough moments, to unforgettable nights out, laughs, connections, and new friendships , this week had it all. Seeing our particpants grow, collaborate, and step into their next level is the most rewarding feeling. I (@dennissheperd ) am so grateful for every single one of you who made this edition so unique. The energy, the openness, the passion… it doesn’t go unnoticed. To relive some of these moments (and for everyone who couldn’t be there), here’s our official aftermovie. 👌🏻 Until the next Soundcation… 🚀

Aloha everyone! 🌸 I would like to share a little moment of happiness with everyone from Bali last week on Wednesday 11th March in Seminyak at the lovely Villa Emilia! 🌴 At first I was quite hesitant to share this moment online, but so many ppl want to see and hear what my biggest highlight was at the @soundcation Retreat. 🎶 Usually I hide crying in front of ppl, but in this moment, I am crying in absolute happiness. I am crying because in this moment I am surprised by Master @dennissheperd playing my ID on the decks, so it caught me off guard. And plus at this point of time, I only heard the track in parts using headphones during my 2 hour one on one session the night before. 🎹 A huge shout out to Master @djricharddurand who believed in my demo, and has given it the magic touch it was lacking. This version sounds much more enhanced, with the dry vocals edited with better quality, increased bpm from 122 to 132 and yet still maintaining the emotions throughout the track compared to 122 bpm version. Much better beats were created too, which has definitely added that extra oomph it lacked! 🥁 I feel very blessed and grateful to have this level of support from the Soundcation crew and Masters. The feeling is so overwhelming. ✨️ What touched my heart, was that I am surrounded by beautiful likeminded souls who love vocal emotional trance and progressive music. The demos they submitted were also incredible to listen to! 😊 This song has been a very hard track to finish over the years, and I have struggled with many versions of how I wanted it to sound. 🙈 I wrote it when I used to live with my parents in Doncaster East, Melbourne. I was trying to create that feeling, of wanting to have the chance to go back into your past and relive a special moment. Perhaps you wish you could hold someone again one last time, someone dearest to you that has left your life... 🫂 I can't wait to complete this track for you all to hear & dance to! 💃 Thank you so much! Hope you enjoyed watching! 🙇‍♀️ 📹 Thanx for capturing this moment legend @damiancage 🎤 Dry vocals produced by @jethromakesmusic at @bunkrcreative 🪭 Iridescent @paracosmicau 💚💙❤️💜🧡💛

Grateful for an unforgettable week at @soundcation Bali. Huge thank you to @dennissheperd for the vision, leadership, and all the work behind the scenes that made the entire retreat run so seamlessly. I’m leaving inspired, recharged, and full of new ideas, plus a deeper connection to a community of like-minded producers. Bali was the perfect place for a week of education, experience, fun and real growth 🫡❤️ •• #Soundcation #trancefamily #Bali #MusicProduction #trancemusic

AFTER MOVIE from our @soundcation Group Bonding Day 🙌🏽 Take a sneak peak as we connect and celebrate together during our pool party — featuring exclusive 30-minute DJ sets by Richard Durand and Dennis Sheperd in an intimate setting you won’t experience at a festival or club. Soundcation participants also had the chance to step behind the decks and play their own music. Whether they wanted to test unreleased tracks or share their favorite selections, this was a unique opportunity to perform for fellow producers and receive real reactions in a supportive environment. Then to end the day we enjoyed a cozy, home-cooked dinner prepared by our AMAZING personal chef! •• #trancefamily #trancemusic #soundcation

Happy New Year! 🥳 What a year 2025 has been! I think I did better than in any other year. Lots of successful projects, more time with the people that matter and personal growth! Very proud. My highlights: - Two unforgettable @Soundcation editions in February in Phuket 🇹🇭 with @genixdj & @seantyasmusic and in August in Bali 🇮🇩 with @blrofficial & @myonmuzik - “The Next Generation” album project - the first of its kind and very successful in terms of public reception, streams and DJ support. Proud! 💪🏻 - Successful Kickstarter campaign funded at 130% - Finally spending more quality time with loved ones - Fewer gigs, but truly special ones – mostly across Asia (big love to @moondancetw & @amnesiabkk & @dennis_chenson & @lonskii_ofc ) - Started my record studio project in Bali, Indonesia – still a long way to go but suuuuuper excited! - Trip to Chișinău, Moldova 🇲🇩 – @fyhofficial guestmix + studio time with @Andrew_Rayel - Recorded an insane DJ live set in Kintamani, Bali 🌋 (thx @ubudprod ) - ADE vibes – meeting members of my WhatsApp community & students in real life - In-person music production seminar for absolute beginners for the team at @fettmusic - Super strong year for @atributetolife.ofc . The best music we have ever released. And very thankful for @aldormusic ’s help in managing the label. 🙏 - Had some awesome studio time with @kattyheath in Amsterdam! I am very grateful for the opportunities that have presented themselves to me this year but I’m even more grateful for the gift of health and life. Thank you universe 🙏

Why am I building this studio? 1. I have been doing @soundcation retreats all over the world and it never really had a permanent home. The retreats happening were always dependent on third party factors, so now this can change. I can host Soundcation far more often and give more opportunities to upcoming producers to learn and improve their craft. 2. I will have a creative space that brings inspiration beyond the music making - everything can be a source of inspiration, nature, air, beauty, people. And Bali has all of this. The creative process doesn’t begin within 4 walls, it’s everywhere around us. 3. Having full control of mixi no & mastering - this is something I am very confident and good at and now I want to create a space that will deliver that quality each and every time, without depending how on other studios or struggling with their setups. Want to have your name on the wall? You can join this project too, all info in bio 🫶🏼
