Perfect for an entire E.P.! “@tiesto: Favorite BPM's top 3: 1.128 2.138 3.140 #Beatsperminute”

@mikepush haha you read my thoughts brother
— Tiësto (@tiesto) July 18, 2013
As a trance fan, it's hard to contain my excitement when I hear that two trance legends are coming together to make a trance EP. Tiesto has left the genre so long ago that the possibility of hearing new trance tracks from the man himself will be sure to get many long time Tiesto fans celebrating. But we may have to be patient as M.I.K.E Push has already warned fans that it may take a while before we hear any of the results. If this collaboration turns into something substantial then today is a very good day for trance and I am optimistic about the possible results.
Make sure to follow @mikepush and @tiesto on Twitter to follow for future updates.

The US branch of Bromance Records has chosen a Toronto producer for their first release
/With the news of Bromance Records and OWSLA partnering for Bromance's US branch, it is exciting to hear that Toronto's Carlo "Illangelo" Montagnese debut album "History of Man" was selected as their first release. Illangelo has previously worked as executive producer for The Weeknd's 2012 album, and has collaborated with rappers such as Wiz Khalifa and Drake. Take a listen to Illangelo's latest track "Crash Landing" and understand why I'm pumped to hear more from this emerging Toronto talent:
"History of Man" will be released on August 20th.
