7 Quotable Quotes from the speakers of Trend Talks
The first ever launch of Globe Tattoo’s Trend Talks happened recently in preparation for the epic Armin van Buuren concert that same night. Inspired by the makers of the TED forum, Trend Talks aimed to bridge the gap between the passionate Filipino community and the trendsetters of this generation, while giving us the latest in this day and age – and that is exactly what they did.
With all the rage directed towards EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and sounds from the underground, Trend Talks kicked off with an irresistible treat for everyone. With big-named speakers on its list – Domini Primero, Ingo Vogelmann, Kat Razon, Mars Miranda, Mikhail Schemm, Nicky Jurado, Pav Parotte, Ricky Daker, Stephen Ku and the world’s five-time top DJ, Armin Van Buuren – Trend Talks became a platform to discuss future trends and the growing industry of the underground music.
While it’s true that the speakers were talking about EDM and the undergound clubbing scene, one can’t help but notice that their words ring true for any situation in life – be it music, trends or being yourself. Here are some of the #QuotableQuotes during the launch of the first ever passion forum in Manila: Trend Talks.
7 Quotable Trend Talks Quotes From Armin Van Buuren and More
7. “Technology made it possible to do lots of things with music.” – Ingo Vogelmann

6. “Are you meant to be a trendsetter or a follower? You make the choice.” – Domini Primero

5. “Not one music is better than the other, it’s all about respect.” – Nicky Jurado
Everything is all about respect. Be it about music or life in general, people who thrive know how to respect other people of the same calibre. Respecting yourself and others involves learning to accept who you are and never comparing yourself to anyone else.
With 30 years of experience under his belt, Nicky Jurado now leads an event concept and design production company called Vinylvets Productions. Known to be a part of the elite circle of DJs called the “Brady Bunch”, Nicky Jurado played a big part in the evolution of house music and its growth.

3.“What is important is your ‘Love for the music’.” – Katrina Razon, followed by “Loving and enjoying what you do.” – Mikhail Schemm
This holds true for everyone. If you’re looking for what you are passionate about in life, it always comes down to what you love doing because loving and enjoying what you do is living life itself.
Katrina Razon, best known as DJ Katsu, started her venture in house and electronic music at the age of seventeen. Continuing her journey in and around Boston, she founded Soundscape and the Manila Music Festival (MMF) back in 2012. Her alter-ego, Lady Falkor, can be heard in Guy Gerber’s Fabric 64 album.
Mikhail Schemm has been going around the world with his expertise in House and Techno music, and sharing the spotlight with the biggest names in the industry. Currently, he is residing in Manila and co-founded SYGNS with the hopes of improving the quality of electronic music in the country.
2. “Find the beat that moves you and stay true to it.” – Stephen Ku
Find the beat that moves you. Whether you are into producing music, writing or reading, finding what makes you tick is the essence of life. No matter how embarrassing your interests may seem; if that’s what makes you happy, stick with it. Sometimes, all you need is to stay true to yourself to succeed.
Stephen Ku is one of the forerunners of the country’s events industries. Producing the biggest concerts and dance events in the country, his expertise are considered top-notch and of highest quality. He also owns well-known bars around the Metro such as Distillery, Opus, Draft, Beso Epic and Alphonse/Vault to name a few.
1. “You can’t be a prisoner of your own style.” – Armin van Buuren
Your style is a reflection of who you are. You grow with it everyday. Armin simply just put it out there for us to realise. Yes, people, the TRANCE GOD is more than meets the eye.
Hence, I will leave you with these words he has repeatedly reminded us during his Armin Only Intense concert:
“Do everything intense” – Armin Van Buuren
All in all, Trend Talks was a successful mix of good music and forum discussion. Did we forget to mention that some of the DJs gave us a sample of their creations during the talk? Oh, yeah!
