As reported by mixmag when they managed to sit down with Armin Van Buuren:
"Sitting down with Mixmag, DJ spoke about what he calls a "shift" in dance music over the past five years: "Everything’s become about the drop and the breakdown. I want to bring people on a journey rather than just bringing them the drops."
He also revealed details about his new Armin Only tour: "It's going back to my roots with trance," he said. "I've got a new director, a completely new set of singers, a new theme and a few special surprises."
No matter what your opinion on Armin Van Buuren might be, I give him massive respect for playing John Askew's remix of "Communication" on the main stage at this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami:

Scream, the annual all night party held around Halloween time every year in Edmonton is returning to the Shaw Conference Centre on Saturday, November 2nd. Edmonton is known for organizing massive all night events and Scream certainly fits that billing. This year's massive will feature DJs on 2 stages:
Elm Street Stage:
Camp Crystal Lake Stage:
The Elm Street Stage offers fans a solid selection of big room heavyweights like Sander Van Doorn and the Bingo Players while sprinkling in a little Anjunabeats trance with Above & Beyond, plus a little hardstyle with Wasted Penguinz. The Camp Crystal Lake Stage is a nice mix between bass music and trap as Baauer has been tapped to be the headlining act.
