EDC does VEGAS!!! and we're still talking about it

 

 

 

RELIVING IT!

THAT LEGENDARY SUNDAY!!!!

  One Week later  

 

No wind storm could bring down the dedicated TRANCERS  of ASOT Saturday night. Every stage had to turn off the music. But the concert goers still waited in another area for over an hour and a half, to get a special performance by Markus Schulz who already played for an hour or so back to back with AvB. Armin Van Buuren saved the electronic world with continuing the ASOT radio show in the "tiny trailer that would survive an Apocalypse" just to continue bringing us trance. ASOT was playing close to the night's original schedule with Markus, CosmicGate, and W&W, to help keep spirits alive on the front land indeed playing until dawn, or 5ish when people officially
 had to scram!

The next day.....

an amazing thing happened to trance

 a sense of pride trancers had when they arrived, turned into something truly more magical when they left. And it would hit every listener at home and on the go, just as hard


Who Played EDC Vegas?

ASOT Line Up: Legendary

LISTEN ALONG :o) <-click this guy

 

a lot of old schoolers were out
 The DJs that made us fall in love the first time to Trance

It was trance history
every DJ showing how they kicked ass enough to be at the top and how they continue to reign   
it was like a personal audio bio from everyone!
It started with memory lane hits I haven't heard for a while by Kristina Sky :o)
 being in the biz for a decade she had an amazing amount to offer and started the greatest trance show on earth! that I have and prob will ever hear, unless everyone gets together and jams! like the B2Bs!
 the storm truly kicked off : the best show ever, the night before it even happened


 circuitGROUNDS wasn't on fire... That Sh*T EXPLODED!


BT :o) hit the stage and things got surreal!
 Coming out with his young daughter in tow
 


Things were set from that point on as BT played with everything he had
 We were in for, not only the show of the year but the show of our lives

Tritonal :o) not only kept the vibe alive they added they're own uniqueness to it,
building us up higher and higher to the huge release of Armin Van Buuren to the recuse
like he did the night before

Each DJ that night because of the storm, gave AvB :o) 15mins off their set to add to an hour of dedication from the Trance Giant
The undertone of honoring trance itself played forward from than on as AvB communicated his gratitude to everyone uniting through trance
   
ATB :o)  than hit the stage! The most exciting set ever
By the middle you can feel he was not only playing for the crowd, that bask in front of him, but for the listeners all over the world
We took to him in awe as he was honoring US the trancefamily, for being dedicated listeners keeping all EDC Vegas going at that dramatic point on Saturday evening we were more apart of ASOT than the people in EDC's physical vicinity
Towards the end he was so overwhelmed with emotion tweets flew in from who were up close, letting us know what was happening, keeping us... the whole tranceWORLDfamily together, in real time

After a teary eyed ATB left the stage Dash Berlin :o) charged in
and caught us before we were all left puffy eyed and showed us our strength and power
There was no place like Vegas at that moment in time
They have roughed it all night no sleep for days celebrating in the high winds and sitting it out til it started again and came back wanting even more
Im sure they were even a bit jealous of the trancers at home for a minute and then turned in to enjoy the Back to Back with Markus and Armin... we were all jealous of small few in that tiny trailer
Armin put the world in that trailer for one amazing night!

Ferry Corsten :o) was up
Dedicated fans in America grabbed a coffee to start a second wind for the last two headliners of this amazing night
some trailed off grabbing the download later on, while the rest of the world woke up and took their spots
Vegas was exhausted emotionally and physically after all this
but they tranced on anyway
no one was walking out on that!

Aly & Fila :o), Egypt's finest
summed up the night beautifully


 I am soo bummed I missed this amazing show,
but I enjoyed every beat of it in the East of A!

Wanna relive EDC's magic over and over?

ASOT in Vegas/ NY highlights

I'm sitting here listening now.. wondering who had the better crowd? Vegas or NY?
  NY def had a lot more to be excited about

here's the late night party Line Up 

Tonight & Tomorrow 

and I'm so excited for tomorrow with all my old favs

Rock Unites w/Dance!

Yes we have heard everywhere it seems Trance fusing with Rock...

 

 but now! since May 2 2012 in Connecticut:

 My favorite alternative rock station changed... for Saturday nights midnight to 2am. DJ Darth Fader's radio show, Digital Takeover is featuring dance remixes of familiar favorites. He has a bit of everything for everyone in the techno world. He played a reggae type dub step that morphed into a sound similar to Swedish House Mafia, as well as some Daft Punk favorites. Its a fusion a different styles from across the spectrum he's calling it dub-step/dance/classic electro.  He's mixing his sound with... yes, Nirvana, The Beastie Boys, and Cold Play's "Paradise".  Sounds very unfamiliar for the Trance Family ear.

This station based out of Hartford, CT, is known for its great selection of music from Alternative Rock, this station has always had a great ear in what they play. I have been a faithful listener for years, since it went on the air, off the air, relived online and back on mainstream air again.  They have massive amount of coverage for the area.  And honestly, just visiting CT would be a sad place without THAT station, I know I had to do it when they were in hiatus, not a good time at all.

Their night time shows usually feature new up and coming indie sounds and other songs and artists that hadn't quite become fully known yet, you would usually hear it there before anywhere. I remember hearing one song I loved, I didn't hear on the radio again until it popped up a year later on one of my stations back at home in NY, playing like it just came out. They defiantly keep up and are constantly  on the look for the next big thing without ever forgetting the old classics and the not so heard of, old great songs. They keep the old greats alive by playing them like they were only a year old. I was really pleased and surprised that I heard some interesting trance beats coming out of this great old station.
