For the rest of the weekend, Riverside sees the return of two world-renowned electronic music tastemakers: A-Trak’s [...]
I'm sure if you're a regular Trap Dojo listener, I'm sure the name Team Bayside High is familiar, and this week, we're very stoked to be bringing you the premiere of their brand new remix of Chicago indie rockers Wild Belle' s new single "Keep You".

Ferry Corsten finally releases a tune he's been secretly playing at his live sets across the world for the past few months. The track titled' Black Light' shifts through all the energies of the dark side with an invigorating melody that will have your body moving uncontrollably. Take a listen to his latest masterpiece below. The post Ferry Corsten - Black Light (Original Mix) appeared first on TAPEDECK .
A staple of Ferry Corsten's sets for months, "Black Light" first left its mark earlier this year at the ASOT600 tent during Ultra Music Festival. Startlingly dark and heavily filtered, Ferry's latest relies on its greyscale grit to shift through its own kinetic energy. Airy trance touches do well to change the energy mid track, pumping the brakes for only a moment before "Black Light" explodes into a cascade of blaring horns and quaking bass, driven to the edge by its own breakneck momentum.

Dutch EDM veteran Ferry Corsten and electronic duo Bassjackers share production duties on their new release, Collision. Collision is a bass heavy, pumping electro-house song with refreshing moments of melodic bliss that is sure to have the dancefloor shaking. Ferry Corsten is iconic for trance driven records, but he strays far from trance on this track and instead delivers an electro-house sound that is much more geared towards Bassjackers' typical productions. Collision follows up Bassjackers' last release, the equally bass driven Grid , which was a collabration with up and coming Dutch producer Dyro [...]

At 12:45 Sunday afternoon, a voice cut across an edit of Hard Rock Sofa & Dirty Shade's "Collapsar," causing a still-filling Ultra Mega Structure to turn toward the sound. "Good morning Miami!" the voice rang out. "Are you ready for The Expedition?" Heads started nodding. "Are you ready for 11 hours of A State of Trance?" A yes-shaped roar emerged. The voice was Armin van Buuren's , the set was Tritonal 's, and the effect was pandemonium. Projected on screen from the on-site ASOT studio, the patriarch of the trance family beamed down at [...]
