Please indicate your full name, place of origin and your alias which you make artistic.
-My name is Michael Chavales of Athens, Hellas, and I carry out the project "Ridden".
Who are your musical influences and what are you trying to?
-A sound that can excite my imagination is an influence. My main goal is to make people totally fun on the dance floor reaching learners of dance trance
First of all, what drew your attention to electronic music?
-The main factor that led me in the style of electronic music since 1998, had been the diversity of this style it s connected to the sound of a "real" instrument The whole feeling that is created by electronic sounds weird repetitive and more intense beats and grooves (which are absolutely related to psychedelic culture "tribe") made me a faithful of this music.
Describes the current state of the stage musical psytrance in Greece.
-Recently, the Hellenic psy-trance scene is growing rapidly. Many indoor and outdoor events is organized with great success, and therefore, people are more familiar with this psychedelic way of entertainment.
What is your hardware configuration, favorite host sequencer and why?

Are you satisfied with the album? Do you believe that you have accomplished your goals?
-Satisfaction is clearly a subjective question. As a person, I am not the kind of man that gets satisfied easily, so I m always trying to develop my style and the ideas of new railways, still having the same objective: dance trance experience.
What can we expect to hear from you this year, perhaps a new album?
-I can tell you that the main idea for my new album is already defined, some leads are ready, but I don't know the release period. In parallel I also runs a side project with my good friend "conwerter" as "Binary Code" which you can expect the EP and the first album of this year and I m also collaborates with another good friend "Meander", in a style more "progressives" who u can expect more news soon.
You have any advice you want to share with young producers?
-The main point, I can give young farmers is to learn proper use of their "ears". The most important thing is to hear exactly what we produce, so all we need is the combination of a good acoustic measured space and a system of representative speaker to begin. These, with a big dose of imagination and of course hard work apart a recipe successfully to become a creative producer.
While Harmonia records is considered as one of the old, stable labels, quality out stuff as Pleiadians and Wizzy noise, how it carries its load in these times where the music is available everywhere in the world to download and sharehow he manage huge loses which are obvious in your music industry?
-Although the "problem" with downloading and sharing music is, and it's really a great loss for any type of label. As Harmonia RECs, some mechanisms we use to protect our "stuff", but we can not control of the current situation of our days everything…it, regardless of the kind of music. 
What are the upcoming Harmonia records releases you would like to promote?
-For 2011, we have a full schedule of releases are:
