Made Event is proud to present a two day ‘A State of Trance 450’ celebration with the world’s #1 DJ Armin van Buuren and some very special guests at Roseland Ballroom on Friday and Saturday, April 2 & 3, 2010.

Armin van Buuren has provided New York audiences with some of its most cherished events of the ‘00s.  As the Dutchman’s popularity grew to seemingly unreachable heights, the scale of his performances followed.  During the early part of the decade, New York saw Armin perform at some of its most elite clubs like Spirit, Crobar, and Pacha NYC.   However, as the Armin van Buuren brand grew, there would be few city venues’ that could contain him.  Soon Armin took his DJ set out of the clubs and into large-scale venues like Brooklyn’s Tobacco Warehouse, McCarren Pool, the massive indoor space of Roseland Ballroom, Governor’s Island and, of course, the headlining set of the first night of the inaugural Electric Zoo festival in 2009.  Now Armin returns to Roseland Ballroom armed with a collection of his finest tunes, a stellar two-day lineup of DJ’s, and top notch production, stellar visuals & extraordinary sound provided by Made Event.

Armin van Buuren’s radio show ‘A State of Trance’ has been going strong for the better part of a decade. With an estimated 10 million listeners on local, internet and satellite radio stations around the world, ‘A State of Trance’ is one of dance music’s most popular radio programs, garnering multiple accolades throughout its historic run.  The show’s weekly blend of new tunes, future favorites and classic tracks remains the perfect place for trance fans to keep close track of the music they love.

In 2009 ‘A State of Trance’ celebrated its 400th broadcast with an unforgettable series of events. A 72-hour non-stop radio broadcast from clubs in Germany, U.K. and The Netherlands featuring over 60 DJs.  With ‘A State of Trance 450’ Armin van Buuren is set to go bigger and bolder than ever before as he and some special guests travel to 2 continents, 4 countries and 5 clubs in celebration of the show’s 450th episode. The celebration kicks off in Toronto then journeys to New York City for two huge dates before returning to Europe for events in Slovakia and Poland.

Made Event presents Irish trance superstar John O’Callaghan at Cielo on Thursday, July 9, 2009

It has taken John O’Callaghan just 5 short years to outrun his ‘next big thing’ tag and move over to the A-list fast-track. DJ sets at some of the world’s premier events and consistent quality studio work define John as a masterful dance artist with a unique ear for trance and a pin-point style of mixing. Last year this gifted Irishman recorded his first Radio 1 Essential Mix and entered the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 list at No. 60. He also picked up ‘Best Producer’ and ‘Best DJ’ trophies at the Irish Dance Music Awards, as well as decisively conquering the competitive dance-testing ground of Ibiza with dates at Judgement Sundays and Armada @ Amnesia.

Since making his first moves into the studio in 2003, John has provided dance floors with a slew of releases on respected labels such as Armada, Vandit, and Doorn Records. Club killers like ‘The Chamber’, ‘Exactly’ & ‘Space & Time’ have all become mainstays of trance sets the world over. In 2007, John released the track ‘Big Sky’. Upon release, it rapidly gained modern trance classic status, virtually taking on a life of its own. That year, it was voted No. 1 trance tune on A State of Trance.  Although his studio career carries more of an original production bias, John has provided his own interpretations of tracks by Armin van Buuren, Agnelli & Nelson, Dogzilla, Ronski Speed and Filo & Peri amongst others.  Often reaching cult status amongst underground trance enthusiasts John’s studio work has made him one of the most in-demand producers & remixers in electronic dance music today.

In 2009 John O’Callaghan stands at the threshold of dance superstardom. His second album Never Fade Away and its single ‘Find Yourself’ have been garnering positive reviews throughout the world of dance music. The album is being hailed as one of the best trance albums in years. The single has already been described as bigger then ‘Big Sky’ by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Judge Jules, and Gareth Emery. ‘Find Yourself’ has poised itself to be a feature in DJ sets throughout the world for some time.  Along with multiple summer dates at Cream Ibiza and a successful monthly radio show on DI.fm entitled ‘Subculture’, John has quickly found himself as one of the primary ambassadors of the new trance sound.
