Dancing Astronaut and Talenthouse team up to offer one lucky producer the chance to open for New World Punx
New World Punx, the collaboration between Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten, was birthed following their performance at ASOT 600 in March. Now, four months later, Dancing Astronaut and Talenthouse are giving aspiring DJs the chance to get in on the action.
Armin van Buuren & Markus Schulz put heads together for new ASOT600 anthem ‘The Expedition’
With every new ASOT tour comes a new ASOT anthem. As of this week, we're only four weeks away from first stop on Armin van Buuren's worldwide celebration of his 600th episode of the A State of Trance radio show. It's customary for Armin to recruit one of his many trance peers to produce an official anthem for the tour (last year was W&W's "The Invasion"), and this year Armin collaborated with big name American trance producer Markus Schulz to create "The Expedition."
Armin van Buuren sits down with Dancing Astronaut before Pier 36 NYE show
In case you missed it, Armin van Buuren graced Manhattan with his trance god presence on New Year's Eve. Not only were we lucky enough to get a front row seat to his four-hour set at Pier 36, but we also got some time with him earlier in the day to sit down and pick his brain a little bit. We asked him how he's seen the role of the DJ change in his long career, his thoughts on the controversial trend of ghost-producing, his big plans for ASOT 600 (specifically in NYC), his future plans for the "state of trance" and his peers and mentees, and his analysis on whether he's a "DJ" or an "artist." His answers were thorough and thoughtful and we think you'll really enjoy getting a peek inside the mind of this prolific figure in dance music.
