Watch this: Bob Sinclar interviewed by Joachim Garraud *Updated

/

For those that do not know, Bob Sinclar was one of the first French DJ/producers that gained international fame in the 1990s with hits such as 'Love Generation' and 'World, Hold On'. Fellow French DJ/producer Joachim Garraud sat down with him in L.A for an intimate interview, check it out: (Warning: It's in French but there are subtitles)

​One quote that stuck with me was when Bob Sinclar explained on how he kept his sound fresh he said "if you follow the trends you're already out" because if you follow what's already hot then you're already too late. Interesting interview.

Listen to this: Will Atkinson's 'Mainline Mix' 06 - March 2013

/

Here's another great new show to check out beyond Simon Patterson's 'Open Up' radio show that serves to take you down the rabbit hole to the darker side of trance: ​

Will Atkinson started gaining my attention since the free release of 'Watch Out (Part 2)' which is a veritable trance banger and essential to any hard hitting set. He's only 22 years old and I believe to be one of the DJs to watch under the Subculture label. If you liked John O'Callghan's set from ASOT 600 Beirut the other night, then you will enjoy what Will Atkinson has to offer because 3 of his tracks were played in that set alone, quite the accomplishment.

Preview Armin Van Buuren's new single 'This Is What It Feels Like'

From Armin Van Buuren on the new album 'Intense': ​

"My new album Intense will be released on the third of May. I’m very excited about it and worked on it for three years. It’s a combination of more housey electro stuff and of course trance and some rock influences, even a little bit of dubstep and classical music." ​

Confirming ​my prior hunch that Armin Van Buuren may be changing his style starting with his collab with W&W for 'D# Fat', this latest track preview and the quote above takes my prediction about Armin one step further. Except with 'This Is What It Feels Like', the question isn't whether the track is trance or more on the progressive house side. The real question is whether his latest effort can be considered EDM at all as it distinctly sounds more on the Pop music side of the spectrum.

I'm still holding out hope that Armin will release noteworthy trance tracks on 'Intense' as his stunning performance at ASOT 600 on Saturday in Beirut proved his continued love for trance music. His set that night showed beyond any shadow of a doubt that Armin can still create a jaw-dropping trance spectacle that can please even the most hardcore trance fan.
