The lineup for Bal en Blanc keeps on getting better and better as Ferry Corsten and Fedde Le Grand were announced last week for the Bal en Blanc 2012 in Montreal. The event will take place over the Easter weekend on April 8th. It's an all night party and the tickets will sell out so if you're thinking about taking a road trip plan it now!
Nice job DNA Presents! By far the best editing of the video series so far.

I continue to be amused by these so let's continue to post them; this time Tiesto takes on Mexico and EDC Las Vegas. That EDC festival looks pretty intense but with 220,000 people what kind of view and dancing room will you have? I still prefer clubs to large outdoor festivals.
Tiesto at Escapade Music Festival (July 1st, 2011) Canada DayI wonder whether the Tiesto 'in the booth' series will be covering the Escapade Music Festival In Ottawa last year? The reason why I'm somewhat speculative on this is because the EDC Las Vegas stop last year was on June 26th, 2011 and when Tiesto hit Ottawa it was on Canada Day. That being said the next episode will be covering his stop in Bucharest which is actually before the EDC Las Vegas stop. One can hope though.
I remember hustling my a$$ off trying to get into that venue before Tiesto came on and around 30 minutes before he came out the parking lot was virtually empty. I was able to slip into the third row without the slightest difficulty. It was a bit surreal watching one of the top DJs in the world take the stage and feeling like it was almost like a private event for the first half of his set.
Ottawa welcomed Sander Van Doorn to the nation's capital with a sold out event yesterday as he rocked the crowd with 2 hours of relentless fun.
I first saw Sander Van Doorn in September 2011 when he played at the Electric Zoo in New York and in that event he primarily played vocal infused tracks back to back to back so I was pleasantly surprised to watch Sander switch it up a bit last night by offering a different sound.
The biggest crowd receptions (as in the crowd collectively jumping up and down which made the dance floor turn into a trampoline) were Sander Van Doorn's biggest hits that include Koko, Love is Darkness and more recent releases including Slap my Pitch Up, and Who's Wearing the Cap.
The biggest surprise of the night for me personally was how good Steve Jobs ft. Angger Dimas by Steve Aoki sounded live, it was a real banger! Prior to the show I was really on the fence on whether I really liked that track or not but now I love it. Granted I still believe that it's not the best sound to play in your bedroom but live at Barrymore's it's a guaranteed win.
Not the best quality photo but I love how it shows the vibe and energy from the dancefloor
Sander Van Doorn stayed a little after this set to autograph anything for his fans (Check out the video below). It was another solid night for EDM in Ottawa!
Welcome to EDM Ottawa, now with more Kingston events listed! You know when you read a site like this it already puts you as a hardcore EDM fan category so why not start listing events just a short 2 hour drive away?
A-Trak will be featured in the Feb 11th issue of Billboard where he shared the cover with Skrillex and Diplo so this guys is clearly on the move up in the EDM world. Somebody to watch for sure.
Really excited to hear some new tunes from Sander tomorrow as I hope that he decides to drop some of them in his set. Another track I'd love to hear is Leon Bolier's new track called 'You', so massive.
Can't wait to see Sander own Barrymore's tomorrow night.
This teaser clip is Sander Van Doorn's latest release called 'Chasin''. It's going to be out officially on Feb 27th but I wouldn't at all be surprised to hear it tomorrow night.
