Armin Van Buuren: Toronto was the most interesting ASOT 650 campaign

Armin Van Buuren declared that Toronto had the most interesting ASOT 650 campaign when asked by iheartevolution during a recent interview:  

Many of your fans have been campaigning for you to come to their city. What's the most interesting campaign you've seen?

"Oh, I think Toronto, people were at the airport giving me t-shirts. I mean it's ridiculous what people do to make sure the event comes to their country. And it's great, but, you know you're going to disappoint more people than you're going to please. So, it's kind of a hard decision. But we're going to make it the best for everybody because all the events will be broadcasted live and for free for everybody to watch it, you know, to listen. So, I think that makes up for everything. If I'm not coming to your city, then you can still experience the whole event."

Toronto was not selected among the first 5 cities to receive an official ASOT 650 event, but hope remains as Armin will continue to announce more dates in future episodes of A State Of Trance radio show.

Ben UFO, aka Ben Thomson, is the latest DJ to be invited to mix the 2 hour long BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. Why should you tune in? Because he made it as a DJ without having any productions of his own. This is a rare accomplishment as the importance on creating your own productions seems like the only way for young talent these days to get noticed. So if I were you, I'd tune in and find out why Ben UFO is such a good curator of the U.K underground sound.

Watch this short Youtube clip of Dash Berlin being led away by the police in Pune over an apparent work visa check in India: 

According to inthemix, the Indian authorities interrupted Dash Berlin's set for an ill-timed work visa check. Dash has since re-emphasized his love for India as he continued his tour at the Sunburn Noidia 2013 the next night: (fast forward to the 3 hour mark)

Hopefully the rest of Dash's tour goes on without a hitch.
