Gareth Emery: "I wouldn’t really put myself in the trance bracket"

Gareth Emery recently gave a very good interview with inthemix where he explained his current feelings on the trance genre where he made such a big name for himself just a few years ago:

 "I wouldn’t really put myself in the trance bracket. I’ve always tried to show, particularly of the last few years, that good music is good music and one of the things that I try to avoid is dividing music up into little genres.

For example, if you look at the stage I’m playing on, there are people from all sorts of genres since it’s one of the main stages. Trance is kind of in a strange place…it’s obviously the world I come from and a lot of my fans definitely consider themselves trance fans. For me, the most interesting place in that style of music is where it crosses over into other genres – that melting pot middle ground of trance and progressive, or trance and house. In terms of the really old school, super-fast 138 to 140-BPM stuff, that’s not really the kind of music I’m into at all these days."

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:
