Listen to Simon Patterson's NYE set from Toronto

Over New Year's Eve one of the hottest trance parties in Canada occurred at the Red Nightclub in Toronto when Simon Patterson was joined by John Askew for a special Open Up party. This is only a snippet of his entire live set, but at least you'll get to hear an hour of some of the very best trance around, enjoy:

Armin: "I want to bring people on a journey than just bringing them the drops"

As reported by mixmag when they managed to sit down with Armin Van Buuren:  

"Sitting down with Mixmag, DJ spoke about what he calls a "shift" in dance music over the past five years: "Everything’s become about the drop and the breakdown. I want to bring people on a journey rather than just bringing them the drops."

He also revealed details about his new Armin Only tour: "It's going back to my roots with trance," he said. "I've got a new director, a completely new set of singers, a new theme and a few special surprises."

No matter what your opinion on Armin Van Buuren might be, I give him massive respect for playing John Askew's remix of "Communication" on the main stage at this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami:

If you live in Montreal, don't forget that Armin Van Buuren will be playing at New City Gas on Sunday, October 13th. Click here to purchase tickets now.
