A State of Trance 650 world tour to be called "New Horizons"

On this week's ASOT radio show broadcast live from Berlin it was unveiled that the A State of Trance 650 world tour will be called "New Horizons". The new name follows previous names like "Invasion" for ASOT 550, and "The Expedition" for ASOT 600.

It was also revealed that Armin Van Buuren will be announcing on October 3rd the first cities for the ASOT 650 "New Horizons" world tour on a special live ASOT live radio broadcast at a yet undisclosed location.

Hopefully Toronto will finally be selected as one of the cities that will be apart of this year's world tour! 

Black & Blue 2013 lineup is revealed

The annual Montreal party held in October called Black & Blue has finally announced their lineup for this year's party set for Sunday, October 13th at L'Arsenal. The all-night event will feature two rooms, one for house music and the other for trance:


Trance Room: 

  • Ronski Speed
  • Richard Durand
  • Kyau & Albert
  • Carl Muren
  • Mike McCarthy
  • Ross
  • Deep trance

House Room: 

  • Dennis Ferrer
  • Pagano
  • Satoshi Tomie
  • David Penn
  • Antoine Clamaran

The event will start at 10 pm and run all the way until 12:00 pm the next day, so if you plan on going make sure to get plenty of rest beforehand! The trance room offers a nice blend of DJs that are usually not seen together which will please the discerning fan that wants to experience something a little different. However, with Armin and Markus Schulz both invading Montreal on the very same night, Black & Blue will have a lot of competition. The overall venue has a capacity of 6,000 so if you go to this year's party, expect a more intimate experience.

The tickets to Black & Blue 2013 are now on sale for $100 for regular tickets, and $150 for VIP. Click here to purchase now.  

Preview I Am Legion's (Noisia x Foreign Beggars) debut album

Could this debut album by Noisia and Foreign Beggars as "I Am Legion" has found the "sweet spot" between hip hop and bass music? Possibly. What I do know is that this new album has given me something fresh to listen to that differentiates them from the rest of the pack. This album is huge with 16 new tracks to chomp on, check out the full preview below:

I Am Legion is planning to go on tour in the UK, Europe, and Australia soon in support of the new album - I hope North America is in their radar sometime in 2014.
