Connecting People Through Music, Is Trance Back? | Ozmozis | Ep61

In this week’s episode, we’re excited to welcome a true local legend who has helped shape our scene through events, community, and a deep passion for dance music since 2009.Joining us is Oz Akgun, owner and founder of Ozmozis. At the heart of Ozmozis is a simple yet powerful idea: bringing people together through music and building a genuine sense of community. That philosophy extends beyond the dancefloor and into the Oz team itself, who also join us for this conversation.With insights from Jenn, Anni, and Vaughn, we dive into the Ozmozis journey, the importance of community, highlight our local scene, and explore the future of progressive and trance both here at home and globally.We hope you enjoy the episode.
