It’s officially been a month since Electric Zoo 2014 and if your PRD (Post Rave Depression) is as bad as mine these pictures are sure to cheer you right up.

These photos take me right back to the beautiful time at Randall’s Island when we’re allowed to be animals and dance the Labor Day weekend away to some electric music. Whether you were under the side tents where you can feel the bass in your bones to the fresh material of new DJ’s, or listen to your favorites played by the legends at main stage under the neon laser shows and confetti showers and become one with the crowd, all fizzling with the same energy as the explosive fireworks above the New York City skyline; EZOO is a magical experience I can’t wait to enjoy again. Until next year!!

The name Armin Van Buuren conjures up endless beats, uplifting trance music, and the hottest mash-ups, and that is precisely what fans will have in store for them when he makes his highly anticipated return to Randall’s Island this Labor Day Weekend when the Grammy-nominated dance music powerhouse will take Electric Zoo’s Main Stage West for the fourth time Saturday, August 30.

 

The songs on his newest release A State Of Trance Classics, Vol. 9 were chosen by ASOT listeners from around the world. Armin van Buuren asked his 20 million strong listener base, coming from over 74 countries, to send suggestions for their favorite classics of all time. From this list, this album was born which includes other 2014 EZNY artists BT, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin, Paul van Dyk and W&W. Get your copy of A State Of Trance Classics, Vol. 9 on iTunes.

The ‘A State of Trance’ Classics series is a chance to remember just how life-changing the art form has been and will continue to be. Volume 9 contains four discs worth of groundbreaking content, spanning the most influential years of trance music. Remember that trance isn’t a genre, it’s a way of looking at music and life!

[EZOO 2014 ARTIST] Gesaffelstein Free Download of “Hate Or Glory” (Gesaffelstein Remix)

On By We Own The Nite NYCIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

JULY 24, 2014

After a much lauded set in 2012 and the dark back-to-back set with Bromance label head Brodinski in 2013, Gesaffelstein has his own headlining slot at New York’s premiere electronic music festival, Electric Zoo this Labor Day Weekend. 
 
Fans can prepare for Gesaffelstein’s Riverside set with his free download of  "Hate Or Glory“ (Gesaffelstein Remix) available here. The video for "Hate Or Glory” has been nominated for an MTV VMA award in the “Best Cinematography” category this year – watch it below. 
 

Mike Lévy’s moniker, Gesaffelstein, is a combination the German word “gesamtkunstwerk,” meaning “universal artwork,” and Albert Einstein, an inspirational figure. He sets the bar high living up to the name, delivering top notch productions and performances time and time again. His energizing techno, dark and obsessional, works the dance-floor yet at the same time continues to mine emotional landscapes and powerful atmospheres. 

 
The French producer remains on top of his game having released his critically acclaimed debut album Aleph last fall and collaborating with the likes of Kanye West and A$AP Rocky, as well as releasing remixes for Depeche Mode, Lana Del Rey, and Justice.
