DJ since: 1994
If it's true that regular change of environment is of key importance for artists, the “first lady of slovenian electronic music" is on a good path to be printed in bold in clubbing annals.
A girl born in Germany was assigned a music career at birth as she only slept if she was given earphones to cover her ears. A bit more than a quarter of a century later she is known as Trick-C and she wouldn't swap her earphones and the adrenaline that she experiences when playing the music for anything in the world.
Trick-C succumbed to electronic music in 1991 when she got her first tape with electronic music tracks. To win the title "the first lady of Slovenian electronic music" she worked very hard at the beginning of her career as she was cultivating the hills around her hometown Ljutomer and Pomurje with new techno sounds, and later, having moved to Maribor and then to Ljubljana her network of partners and adherents grew constantly.
With her companion in life DJ Point she worked also a lot in Croatia, especially in Zagreb, at all underground techno locations (Mikulichi, Sator Viva Piva, Valentino) and parties (Ufo Beats, Ponikve open air...), they were among the organisers of the first parties where techno was played all night long on big floor (Pula Borguignon) and even now Trick-C continues to foster the cultural exchange with neighbours as a soloist.
At least as much as a DJ she is known as an organiser of parties. Urban Divas is the name of her parties and at the same time a socially engaged international campaign, within which she and her adherents wish to provide dance floors with additional female touch. Among other events she was involved to several ladies events many of them she also booked and organised.
Trick-C is frequently appearing in the media in her home country of Slovenia, already featured pages and covers of Story Magazine, Nika magazine (addition to national newspapers), Cosmopolitan etc. She has been interviewed for a number of radio shows, web portals and web magazines.
Trick-C. visited in almost two decades of spinning many clubs at home and abroad and played among side renown techno artists such as Umek, Kanzyani, Mistress Barbara, Electric Indigo, Joel Muel, Mary, Marcus Storck, Innigo Kennedy, Veztax, Misjah, Damon Wild....
The past few years she has devoted intensely to creating her own music. The same as when working behind a turntable, she doesn't pay much respect to fashion trends, but rather build her own music story, which was always fed on alternative music. She follows this music philosophy in her latest tracks, which are closer to pristine techno than the impersonal music matrices that have lately seduced the majority of old fighters.
Her first recording »DeTour« was released officially 2009 by the Slovenian techno record label Vezotonik of international renown as an United EP featuring also tracks of various authors. In 2010 she contributed her track Above&Beyond to the Guilhotina project »In Krlox memory«, more releases followed where Trick-C is true to her deep need to incorporate her original sound.
Funky,driving,clubby,dancy techno combined with different styles are the main ingrediants of her creative work. Her releases appeared besides on fresh undeground techno labels also on internationally renown techno labels Soul Access, Glorio Music, soon to come SubCult and Adult's sublabel Groove Worxx.
Trick-C. believes that creative production is a never ending process of personal growth and learning - barriers and time is something music doesn't have. Addicted with her passion to genuine techno she always builds her music story to reach for something deeper and intimate. She delivers emotions in time and space and allows every person to interpret them in any way they want.
Parallel to her techno projects she also started a new project in 2009,after gaining huge positive feedback from renown artists at the Demokr(e)acija 2009 competition with Pete Tong.Together with her partner Point aka Dante Benami they formed a group Future Lovers with music style based on sound elements and music aesthetics of the 1990's - a time when the two project protagonists met each other and fell in love, while deep inside they shall always remain the children of the first rave generation.

Illusion
Trick-C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep my heart real, at least I always try to
Living in the past or the future, don't know why
Time is an illusion, so am I
It's okay to feel, but not the way I do
Keep my heart real, at least I always try to
Living in the past or the future, don't know why
Time is an illusion, so am I
I prefer your voice over the one inside my head
Only give me the time of day when it's convenient (for you, for you, for you)
Let it slide but I'm not sure how long I can leave it (maybe a day or two)
Too bad toxic is out of style
I'd wear us out for quite a while
It's not your fault I never smile
Or maybe I'm just in denial
It's okay to feel, but not the way I do
Keep my heart real, at least I always try to
Living in the past or the future, don't know why
Time is an illusion, so am I
It's okay to feel, but not the way I do
Keep my heart real, at least I always try to
Living in the past or the future, don't know why
Time is an illusion, so am I
I'm just an illusion to you, baby
'Cause around me you act like you're hallucinating
I guess that just means I been drivin' you crazy
Lately
Love is an illusion to me, baby
The second I believe, I always find it fading
So what's your move because I'm getting sick of waiting
Lately…
The lyrics to Trick-C's song "Illusion" convey the complex emotions and thoughts of the singer regarding love, perception of time, and self-awareness. The first verse establishes the conflict between the singer's desire to feel and express their true emotions, but also their struggle to keep their heart genuine. They acknowledge the challenge of living in the past or future, perhaps indicating a tendency to dwell on regrets or anxieties. The recurring line "Time is an illusion, so am I" suggests a sense of disconnectedness from the concept of time and a feeling of not fully understanding oneself.
The second verse delves into the dynamics of a relationship, where the singer yearns for genuine connection and meaningful communication. They express preference for the voice of their partner over their own inner thoughts, highlighting the importance of genuine human interaction. The line "Too bad toxic is out of style, I'd wear us out for quite a while" suggests a willingness to put up with a toxic relationship just for the sake of having one, indicating a fear of being alone or an inability to break free from destructive patterns. The mention of not smiling could hint at inner turmoil or a lack of fulfillment, which might be attributed to denial or avoidance of personal issues.
In the chorus, the singer reiterates that feeling is permissible, but there seems to be a disconnect between their emotions and the "right" way to feel. The mention of time as an illusion reinforces the idea that the singer may struggle with understanding their own reality or finding stability in their emotions and experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
It's okay to feel, but not the way I do
Emotions are valid, but my intense feelings may not be acceptable
Keep my heart real, at least I always try to
I strive to be genuine and authentic in expressing my emotions
Living in the past or the future, don't know why
I find myself dwelling on past or future events without understanding the reason
Time is an illusion, so am I
The concept of time is subjective and distorted, just like my perception of myself
Could you repeat what you just said
Please say it again as I value your voice more than my internal thoughts
I prefer your voice over the one inside my head
I find solace in hearing your voice rather than listening to my own thoughts
Only give me the time of day when it's convenient (for you, for you, for you)
You only pay attention to me when it suits your own convenience
Let it slide but I'm not sure how long I can leave it (maybe a day or two)
I may forgive and ignore the issue for now, but I don't know how much longer I can tolerate it
Too bad toxic is out of style
Unfortunately, our toxic relationship is no longer fashionable or desirable
I'd wear us out for quite a while
I would endure this relationship for a significant period of time
It's not your fault I never smile
You aren't to blame for my lack of happiness and smiles
Or maybe I'm just in denial
Perhaps I'm simply refusing to accept the truth or reality of my emotions
I'm just an illusion to you, baby
You perceive me as something unreal or elusive, my presence is not fully recognized
'Cause around me you act like you're hallucinating
In my presence, you behave as if you are experiencing hallucinations or distorted perceptions
I guess that just means I been drivin' you crazy
My actions or behavior have been causing you to become mentally unstable or overwhelmed
Love is an illusion to me, baby
To me, love feels like something unreal or deceptive
The second I believe, I always find it fading
Whenever I start to believe in love, it always seems to diminish or disappear
So what's your move because I'm getting sick of waiting
I'm growing tired of waiting for your next move or decision
Lately…
