Good news: Armin Only is coming to Toronto and Vancouver in 2014! (Updated)

/

This is the good news from Armada that a lot of trance fans in Canada have been waiting for as Armin Van Buuren's special "Armin Only" show is coming to two Canadian cities in 2014! Armin Only is slated to come to Toronto on April 19th, 2014 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, and on May 3rd, 2014 in Vancouver at the Pacific Coliseum. 

Here's the official Armin Only video trailer:  

 

The upcoming Armin Only shows will be based around his recently released Intense album as Armin himself explained the concept and vision of his show via his press release:

”Unlike today, now that it’s all based on short sets and quick highlights, it used to be all about the long sets, the musical trips. That’s what Armin Only is based on – to take the clubbers on a 6+ hour journey into music. Through the Armin Only – Intense shows, I can tell them the full story of my ‘Intense’ album – in fact of everything I’d like to say.”

I'm sure I'm not the only Canadian fan that is extremely excited about this news as Armin will be giving two 6 hour sets in 2014. Please follow the event links below for the latest Armin Only show information in Toronto and Vancouver:

Nathan Barato names Stereo as his favourite club in the world

/

Toronto DJ/Producer Nathan Barato has just given massive props to one of the best clubs in Montreal (easily one of the best in Canada, if not the world) that locals like to lovingly call the Temple in a recent interview given to ibizabynight:

IBN: Which is your favourite club in the world?
Nathan: Its very hard for me to answer that..especially after being in Ibiza for the summer but I think Stereo in Montreal is number 1 for me. The sound, the size and the vibe are perfect for me.

If you've never been to Stereo in Montreal, then put it on your bucket list right now because it's well worth the trip.

Will Atkinson has just released another monthly edition of his Mainline radio show with a great tracklist, an exclusive premier of his 10,000 remix of Three Drives "Sunset on Ibiza", and loads of sketchy shout outs. It's one of my favourite radio shows out there by a real up and coming DJ/Producer, so take some time to listen to Mainline:
