Armin Van Buuren - 4/4/2007 - Kelowna
Blackbird & Silverwaters Present
The #2 DJ in the world: Armin Van Buuren   Armin Van Buuren- Netherlands - A State of Trance http://www.arminvanbuuren.com  Armin van Buuren is a happy man, and with good reason. Holding firm at Number 2 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.” Born in Leiden, Holland (on December 25, 1976) to a musical family – his dad had a serious penchant for a diverse range of genres including punk and electronica “to get rid of the stress of everyday life”, while his brother is a prodigious guitar player – Armin indulged his passion for music from a young age, blowing all the money from his paper round on records. His mum won a computer when he was 10, “So as a little nerdy kid I was writing my own Basic programmes, and learnt about the technology from there.” He progressed from making the usual tapes for his friends, put together on a cheap set of decks that he wore out learning to mix, after discovering his uncle experimenting with different sequences on his computer. “I was so amazed at what he was doing, since that moment I’ve been addicted to creating music!” DJ Myshell - Taiko Records - Silverwaters http://www.djmyshell.com  Trained in Acutonics and Sound Therapy, Myshell's music defies the boundaries set by electronic music genres. Her productions fuse a vast array of influences. Her live electronic act incorporates elements of trance, house, breaks, funk, rock and even hip-hop. Myshell's spontaneous sets involve remixes on the fly with loops layered and arranged in real time. No two shows are alike. Myshell has played Western Canada's largest events (such as Summerlove, Summerbreak & Apex) as well opening for some of dance music's biggest names such as Matt Darey, Thomas Penton, Donald Glaude and Doc Martin. Her live mix CD, Myshell Nukina Live, reached #154 on the Canadian Independent Radio Charts in 2004 as well as garnering critical praise from the likes of Jesse Saunders, "originator" of house music, and Craig Anderton, editor of EQ magazine. "Myshell knows her stuff! I got a copy of her doing a set, and yeah, it's good. She managed to work in Public Enemy, Aretha Franklin and AC/DC and made it all fit. Cool" -Craig Anderton, EQ Magazine/Harmony Central First 100 tickets @ $45 Tickets Available At Club Level Boomtown - 469 Bernard - 250-762-9299 Revolver - 269 Bernard - 250-860-9171 In Vernon: Hemp City - 3004 31st Street - 250-558-3088 This is Going to be an Amazing Evening For Kelowna! http://www.silverwaters.ca Last edited by EMEX; Feb 18, 07 at 10:13 PM.
