Markus Schulz shout out to TFSF

I thought this was pretty damn cool. He's become a big supporter and this is one of the biggest legitimizing things that has happened to TFSF. Not to mention a personal shout out us on the air for gdjb for the world tour ruby Skye episode?? Unreal! This makes me appreciate and respect Markus even more.

Deadmau5 on ASOT

Armin has a knack for showing love to Deadmau5's tracks on ASOT which I think is pretty damn cool. ASOT listeners and trance lovers as a whole are such purists sometimes that a track from an artist like Deadmau5 is probably seen as blasphemous. Glad Armin breaks down that stereotype. Good music is good music. "don't be a victim of your own style" as he would say. Good man. He usually opens up with Deadmau5 tracks too. Am I only one that notices these things?

Recent happenings, TranceFamily SF, & Markus Schulz


 Hey what's up everyone.  Feels like it's been a long while since I've seriously posted and really, there's kind of a reason for that.  In essence, life happens.  Things have become busy on a personal note which does not allow for a lot of time for serious blogging.  However,  I have been able to post some work with my friends at TranceFamilySF.com and they've published it to great acclaim!  I'm actually pretty proud of the stuff I've done with them so please check it out.

My show review of Tritonal at Ruby Skye: http://trancefamilysf.com/2011/08/30/a-night-out-with-tritonal-show-review-82511/


Along with several others, I think this is the stuff that really shows that we are keeping together the movement of trance in the SF bay area and I'm really happy to be a part of that.  Aside from that, seen any good shows lately? because I SURE HAVE.  Markus Schulz was at Ruby Skye recently and it was an absolute blast.  There are few shows I can say that are an absolute priceless night and experience and I think that was definitely one of those.  The chief unicorn slayer doing it big in San Francisco, the entire TFSF squad there, and better yet, it was broadcast on GDJB as the world tour episode!  It doesn't get much better than that!  Lots of great things happening in the TFSF, trance, and Marky Mark worlds.  Life is grand and that's the word!

Markus Schulz: #LA12

Wow... Incredible influx of tweets, texts, Facebook posts, and blogs sharing experiences that were had in Los Angeles for Markus Schulz's release party for his LA 12 compilation release. First night he spins 11 hours and 2nd night heavyweights Mr. Pit, Jochen Miller, Arnej, and Grube & Hovsepian join in on the mayhem. Sounds like it was a blast. Few DJ's connect with their fans as well as Markus. Something about his style, his energy, and variety in DJ sets put him apart from the pack. He really has a lot to offer and that's what makes him one of my favorites. Sad I missed out but the man should come back to San Francisco soon enough (April at Ruby Skye). Did you go? Thoughts? Experiences?

It's a new year!

2012 is here and this will usher in a new era of EDM and big things on the horizon with myself and the rest of TranceFamily SF. Looking forward to what's to come. Let's party!
