Facebook troll group took aim at W&W during ASOT 600's broadcast in Mexico

/

A Facebook group called 'Trance Producers Trolls' aimed their sights on Dutch duo W&W on Saturday night during A State of Trance 600 in Mexico City. 'Trance Producers Trolls' galvanized their supporters to use the 'poop' emoticon on W&W's page:

The reason given by 'Trance Producer Trolls' own Facebook page was to "let those trousers understand no place for shitty music in ASOT!" combined with "come on we gonna caption this , the worst day in their life!" Following the mass messages of "poop", Trance Producers Trolls, a page with 18,000 likes, claimed that "more than 2000" were banned from the W&W Facebook page.

Meanwhile various Trance DJs have spoken vocally on Twitter in support of W&W:

The creators of 'Trance Producers Trolls' remains unknown as their About page describes them as "Trance Producers Trolls is just to make you laugh nothing personal, make some memes and post them on wall or send them as msg . cheers." Their targets have recently extended beyond the Trance genre when they asked their group to "poop" on Steve Aoki's 'Tag Yo Self!' pictures on Facebook.

While there remains a lot of opportunities for constructive criticism in the EDM world, simply trolling DJ fan pages is counter-productive and paints a negative picture for Trance fans all over the world.

W&W is slated to play in four more A State of Trance 600 events including Kuala Lumpur, Miami, Guatemala City, and New York.

And the winning ASOT 600 cities are....

The State of Trance 600 live broadcast on Youtube just announced the winning cities that will be visited by Armin and his Armada army as part of their ASOT 600 world tour. Next year's ASOT 600 will be branded as 'The Expedition - let's turn the world into a dance floor!' and will span from February 14th, 2013 to April 6th, 2013. The first winners are:

February 16th​, 2013: Mexico City, Mexico
March 1st, 2013: Sao Paulo, Brazil
March 9th, 2013: Beirut, Lebanon
March 15th, 2013: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
March 30th, 2013: New York City, United States
April 6th, 2013: Den Bosch, Netherlands

Please note that these are only ​the 'very first' 6 cities announced as Armin promised there will be more cities revealed in future ASOT broadcasts. Armin also stated that his team are in the process of finalizing various ASOT 600 events with promoters around the world. I certainly hope that is the case for a Canadian city because hosting an ASOT 600 in this country would be a slam dunk.

I honestly thought a Canadian city would have been announced as one of the first 6 cities but fear not Trance fans, there is still hope that 'The Expedition' will land in Canada in 2013. ​

Note for New York: Made Event, the organizers of the Electric Zoo festival in NYC, will be the official organizers for ASOT 600 in New York City. Armin was very excited to announce venue but was held back as it seems that the venue deal has not been finalized. Could they be holding at Madison Square Gardens or the new Barclays Center? That would seem like a strong possibility.
