So I’m a big fan of DI.FM aka Digitally Imported Radio.
I think they have an amazing selection of tunes and just about anyone can find what they like on there.
So the other day I was listening to the DJ Mixes channel and couldn’t stop dancing around in my seat while I was working. Apparently, there’s some guy in Russia who’s a badass.
You can download a bunch of his mixes from his site. The one I’m talking about in particular is the Dance Essentials Part 2 @ Di.FM which can be found here.
It’s too bad that laws in Columbus forbid clubs to be open past 2:30 AM. When Christopher Lawrence was at Sugar, there were cops swarming the club at 2:25 AM to make sure that everyone got out in time. It’s amazing how so many other cities can do so well past 2:30, but Columbus and it’s lame street-car mayor won’t let a good crowd party.
Whoo! Benny Benassi! I don’t know about you guys but I had a blast the last time he came to Sugar. It was a little packed, but he played really well. He’s had a number of hits like “Who’s Your Daddy” and “Satisfaction”.
Here is its ladies and gentleman. The German maestro Paul Van Dyk is coming to Columbus for Thanksgiving. Ranked #2 by The DJ List. Will most likely be playing tracks/promoting his new album “In Between” released in 2007.
I had the chance to see him in 2006 at his NYC, Central Park gig. It was quite an amazing experience and the Columbus show should be of the same quality.
PVD’s hectic globe trotting stops do not not normally include small cities like Columbus (the week before he will be in Dubai and Beirut), so make sure you save room after your Thanksgiving dinner for some quality Trance.
He plays some good classic hip hop. Very unconventional and is usually entertaining to watch.
Presale tickets on Groovetickets. It will be 18 and over, 18+ tickets will be $40, and 21+ will be $15 presale, and $20 at the door. These ticket prices are not final, and may change…
Armin van Buuren is a happy man, and with good reason. Holding firm at Number 3 in the prestigious public-voted DJ Top 100, he’s making the transition from talented young upstart to leading light in the echelons of trance and beyond. 2005 has brought two new significant awards (Best Radio Show, and Best Compilation for A State of Trance 2004 at the Miami Winter Music Conference Awards), and a stunning new artist album, Shivers, showcasing his debut as a songwriter.
Affronted by the cheesy tag that dogged it for a brief time real trance has continued to grow unabated, and the WMC awards reflect Armin’s success in producing and playing quality tunes that both excite existing fans and bring new people to the scene. “I think trance is becoming a broader term for a lot of different genres; it’s no longer a specific kind of music within the dance scene,” says Armin, widely credited with creating the blueprint track for the genre, Blue Fear, at the tender age of 19,. “Trance has elements of all different types of music. I play a lot of tracks that are labelled as progressive, tribal progressive, techno, trance, euphoric trance, vocal trance, melodic progressive… These days it’s really hard to label a specific sound. Styles are mutating and evolving into this all-over new sound, which is basically dance music going back to its roots. There’s so much good music out there and I don’t want to limit myself to just one style.”
Ohio Undaground brings you Lengendz Revenge. This is a serious event. Jam packed with some hardcore DJs and even a few guys that shouldn’t even be playing in Columbus. I don’t think most of you can even handle this stuff.
I recommend it if you like the much harder stuff. Will be a very wide variety of music and never a dull moment.
Here’s all the information you’ll need and a few previews of the DJs that will be there:
