In 2011, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike were spotted for the very first time in this illustrious top 100. As mere youngsters, they already scored 79th place, soaring to number 38 the following year. The rest is history. And now, once again, there's a Belgian DJ making a splash on the Top 100. Antwerp native Yves V has rocketed in at number 55. An impressive arrival that certainly won't go unnoticed. 

Yves V is one of the top DJs in Belgium and has already been making quite a name for himself abroad. Since 2007 he has been a fixture on the main stage at Tomorrowland and he can proudly claim to be the only Belgian DJ to have continuously appeared on the sensational Tomorrowland main stage for so many years in a row. His remix of Insane Pressure in 2009 was an absolute breakthrough in Belgium and received extensive airplay. In 2012 together with the Belgian producer Basto! he released the song Cloudbreaker. This highly successful release landed a well-deserved place at number 25 in the Flemish Ultratop, and at number 29 in the Dutch Single Top 100, but in Russia, the song was a fully fledged number 1 hit. At TomorrowWorld in the United States, together with star DJ Regi, Yves V released the track “Wait Till Tomorrow”.   

When the Top 100 list was announced on Saturday, he was not in Amsterdam, but in Brussels, where according to annual tradition, Yves closed out the concert by David Guetta.  Yves V: “I was just about to start my DJ set in Paleis 12 when I got the news that my name was at number 55 in the DJ Mag Top 100. I've never started a DJ set in such a great mood and I think that the audience could tell, I was practically glowing with happiness. It truly warms my heart to receive so much recognition from my fans who voted for me, it's acknowledgement of my work and a boost for my musical career. It gives me even more inspiration and energy and I certainly won't be letting my fans down. I'll not just be giving it my all, but 200 % in my shows from now on!”

Silver for Willebroek DJs

The results of the annual DJ Mag Top 100 were announced Saturday night at the Amsterdam Dance Event. This list is accepted worldwide as the official DJ top 100 ranking. Each year, millions of fans from over 100 countries vote online for their favourite DJ of the past year. Last year, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike already set a Belgian record with their 6th place on this important list. Never before had a Belgian DJ secured a top 30 place in the worldwide DJ ranking, and not only have these two brothers from Willebroek held onto their place in the top 10, they've ascended to the top 3, no less. Sandwiched between the Dutch DJs Hardwell and Armin Van Buuren, Dimitri & Mike have taken the 'silver medal', in second place. Dimitri Vegas: “We were aiming for a top 3 place, so we are incredibly honoured and of course thrilled with the number 2 spot. The list is once again proof that we have the best fans in the world. In December, we'll be starting our “Bringing the World the Madness” tour and we certainly plan to make it unforgettable, as a way of thanking our crowd for the outrageous parties and performances they've made possible in the past year, and we'll keep on dreaming of the number 1 place, but that's still all in the future, of course.”  Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have a huge fan base. The DJ duo's Facebook page has nearly 6 million fans from Belgium and around the world.

On Friday the 19th and Saturday, 20 December, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike will be in Belgium to kick off their Bringing the World the Madness tour. In the meantime, all 20,000 tickets for the show on Saturday have sold out and there are just a few places still available for Friday. Seats, actually, but don't let that hold you back. Like Mike has already pointed out that “there's nothing wrong with dancing on your chair” as was enthusiastically demonstrated last year. That's when the DJ brothers blew the roof off of the Sportpaleis, and this year they've got ambitious plans as well. Together with the creative Tomorrowland-team, they'll be presenting an utterly insane production. Add to that a spectacular light show, a rock solid DJ set and fans who let it all hang out, and it's bound to be a night to remember.

From 5 October, Flanders will have a chance to get a peek behind the scenes in the life of the DJs in the TV Eén programme People of Tomorrow.

Last night was amazing. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Yves V on the Mainstage, Pete Tong hosted his own stage and invited John Digweed, Diplo at the Mad Decent Stage. Hundreds of Belgian guests danced the night away at the Belgian stage. Even more joy for the Belgians, Filip Verhulst proposed his girlfriend Eline Peeters at TomorrowWorld. Filip surprised the love of his life with a marriage proposal during a helicopter flight and she said yes. Sunday, the last day of TomorrowWorld.  

Today, the People of Tomorrow will be blown away because the line-up will set them on fire. They can discover local talent at the ATL stage, deep-house of Ben Pearce at the French Express stage, minimal techno with Gaiser and Maceo Plex at the Minus Stage, progressive trance of Cosmic Gate. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are hosting with Steve Aoki The Dim Mak vs. Smash the House stage.

TomorrowWorld 2014, The Arising Of Life started with big success and is already over the place in the USA media who comment on the phenomenon that came to be TomorrowWorld. For 2nd year the 3 days of the celebration of Electronic Music will be written with golden letters in the history of USA festivals. The founders of Tomorrowland scouted 100 sites all over the world before choosing Bouckaert’s Farm in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, just 25 miles southwest of Atlanta. The accessible yet secluded farm with its gently rolling hills, lush greenery and sparkling lakes became the site for the inaugural edition of TomorrowWorld because it happened to bear a strong resemblance to the expansive park in Boom, Belgium that has been hosting Tomorrowland since its inception in 2005.

Interview with Carl Bouckaert, Venue Owner

Mr. Bouckaert, how did it feel to welcome 40,000 people in your backyard last September?

Carl Bouckaert: It definitely was a big party! It truly felt great to see all these thousands of young people from all over the world gathered here in South Fulton County to enjoy the best electronic dance music festival in the world. You could really feel this amazingly positive, peaceful and happy energy everywhere you would go.

I tremendously enjoyed every phase of the project, from the months of preparation, to the build-up in the month of September, to the actual festival. The team behind this mind blowing project is amazing. They give attention to the smallest detail, whether it be about security or an element of the decor, everything needs to be perfect and in harmony. The way they integrated this fairytale concept in the natural setting of this property was stunning. My wish last year was to show the world our Southern hospitality and I think we did just that!

You are very adamant about keeping not only your property but also this area green and beautiful. Did the TomorrowWorld organizers respect that?

Carl Bouckaert: Very much so. Sustainability is a high priority for them. During the festival they were constantly cleaning up and once everyone left and all the stages were removed, they made sure the property was restored to its natural beauty.

Now that you see the 2nd edition coming alive in the property, what are some of your thoughts?

Carl Bouckaert: I am just as excited as last year to see the world come together again. Last year was a fabulous first edition, so this year should be even better, since we all have more experience to fine-tune it even more. I can’t wait.

The commissioner Bill  Edwards of  the Fulton Council, District 7 was interviewed about TomorrowWorld too. 

Commissioner Edwards, now that the 2nd TomorrowWorld is almost upon us, how do you look back on the first edition?

Bill  Edwards: Allowing TomorrowWorld to take place in South Fulton County has been one of the best decisions in my 14 years as County Commissioner. Not only did it expose our beautiful community to the entire world, but it also generated an incredible amount of revenue in the local economy. TomorrowWorld put South Fulton County on the world map, not only as a beautiful area, but also as a friendly community that welcomes business.

Based on your close collaboration with the organizers, how would you describe the experience?

Bill  Edwards: The festival is extremely well managed and professionally run. Nothing is left to chance. Behind the scenes it is run as a very tight ship, with amazing safety precautions, on and off site, a very thorough, real-time traffic plan and strict adhesion to the hours of operation and the sound limitations. As a visitor, all you see is amazing decorations, world class DJ’s and most of all three days of happiness!

Are you and your staff ready for the second edition of TomorrowWorld?

Bill  Edwards: Yes, we are ready now and we will be ready for the next ten years as well. 

Thanks to Debby Wilmsen, TomorrowWorld spokesperson for suppling the interviews!

The first festival day of TomorrowWorld has almost finished and it was full of epic moments and brilliant music. Almost 50.000 discovered the madness and were witnesses of the Arising of Life. It has been while since an active volcano erupted on US soil – not yet counting Yellowstone of course. 

But here it is. The most beautiful, dangerous-looking and beloved fire-spitting mountain we ever saw. Long have the hills of Chattahoochee been full of tremors, signs of something big coming this way. And as we all descend on the magnificent terrain, smoke in the distance reveals what we all hoped for; the TomorrowWorld volcano arising to spew its life-giving fire over thousands of ravers raging away. Today Laidback Luke brought his Super You & Me crew along for a day full of heroism. The Belgian DJ Coone represented the famous Q Dance stage. People of Tomorrow could get rowdy at the It’s a Trap stage with Kennedy Jones and Green Lantern. On the Volcano mainstage beats from Cazzette, NERVO and Tiësto. 

Shaquille O’Neal came to visit TomorrowWorld. He travelled from Orlando to Chattahoochee Hills to experience the Arising of Life.  Also Ludacris came to visit the Magical hills.

Tomorrow, Saturday September 27,  a dozen of Belgian artists will surprise the American guests at the Belgian stage. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Yves V on the Mainstage and Pete Tong will host his own stage and invites John Digweed and many more.

Facts & Figures

• At TomorrowWorld the cashless system has been introduces. All guests pay with their bracelets instead of cash or tokens. 
• Did you know the volcano is a staggering 400 feet wide, and a hundred feet tall?
• The Volcano stage was shipped over from Belgium in 80 containers that traveled nearly 6000 miles to get here.
• Over 180.000 people experienced Belgium’s Arising of Life in 2013, and 16 million viewers tuned in to the madness online.
• Apart from a friendly fire-breathing Spirit of the Mountain, the mainstage is equipped with multiple waterfalls.
• All the pyrotechnics are completely computerized. The volcano will erupt multiple times a day.

History of TomorrowWorld: 

Was it fate that would have the world’s most international music event shipped overseas only to land on a farm in Georgia? The stars appeared to have aligned thanks to the state’s rich topography and a timely joint venture. It was a prolonged dream for Tomorrowland organizers to bring the festival to America. And last year, the opportunity came. As world-renowned DJ Armin van Buuren says in the 2014 MTV documentary on the festival’s 10th anniversary: “In many ways, Tomorrowland is the capital of dance music in Europe.” 

While 180,000 were able to secure their tickets for the 3-day event, two million were turned away. It was time to expand. The founders of Tomorrowland scouted 100 sites all over the world before choosing Bouckaert’s Farm in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, just 25 miles southwest of Atlanta. The accessible yet secluded farm with its gently rolling hills, lush greenery and sparkling lakes became the site for the inaugural edition of TomorrowWorld because it happened to bear a strong resemblance to the expansive park in Boom, Belgium that has been hosting Tomorrowland since its inception in 2005.

The news that instantly put Fairburn on the festival world map came during a glitzy reception at the 2013 Miami Music Week, during which it was officially announced that the first U.S. edition of TomorrowWorld would take place September 27-29, 2013.

At the 10th anniversary edition of Tomorrowland this past July in Belgium, French super star-DJ David Guetta announced that in 2015, Tomorrowland would take place in Brazil for the very first time. During the announcement, over 15,000 Brazilians watched the live stream from Belgium in Candido Portinari Park (Villa-Lobos Park) in São Paulo, so the news of the first Brazilian edition of Tomorrowland spread like wildfire to every corner of this beautiful country and abroad. 

That Brazilians in particular were wildly enthusiastic was made abundantly clear not only on social media, but also in the massive number of pre-registrations for tickets. Ticket sales for the festival opened today, and barely a few hours later, all 180,000 tickets were sold out. Never before in the history of Brazilian festivals, an event sold out this fast. 

Tomorrowland is one of the most internationally diverse events in the world, with visitors from over 214 nations all over the globe (more than the Olympics). Last year the first highly successful edition outside Belgium was organized in Chattahoochee Hill, outside Atlanta, GA. Itu (a city in the state of São Paulo) will be the next step in the amazing journey of the world’s most popular festival. On May 1, 2, and 3 of 2015 Brazil will experience Tomorrowland to the fullest; the most beautiful stages, the world’s biggest electronic artists, an amazing venue with a huge natural amphitheater for the iconic mainstage, the highest quality food & services, and people from all over the world gathering together for one of the most beautiful weekends of the year.

Tomorrowland 2014 will be documented as one of the brightest and most important years of the world's leading electronic dance music festival, which every year attracts visitors from all over the world to Belgium. The ten year celebration was the most exquisite that you could ever imagine. Tomorrowland's key to success is the festival goers. The most up-for-it crowd who have travelled miles across the globe, just to experience a once-in-a-lifetime mad atmosphere which the festival offers, non stop for three days.

Tomorrowland's 2014 two-weekend edition was beyond anyone’s expectations and surpassed all expectations, giving revellers memories which will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Many visitors hit the social networks when they returned home, telling everyone how Tomorrowland 2014 changed their lives!

 There were so many reasons to be amazed while you walk or dance around the Tomorrowland grounds. The mindblowing state of the art Mainstage packed with lazer effects and pyrotechnics, the new magnificent stages such as the beautiful and truly theatrical Opera stage, the magical Garden of Madness decorated with natural flowers and even swimming pool, the smallest underground stage Rave Cave and of course the boat stage that Bonzai Music had its fantastic line up of top class djs. 

Many people consider Bonzai Music to be one of the cornerstones in Belgium's contribution to the global electronic dance music culture. The legendary imprint from Antwerp is responsible for many well-known classics that are either remixed, reworked or recreated thousands of times. Both weekends the line-up was absolutely incredible, and included, Airwave, Bonzai All Stars, CP, DJ Fire, Eric Powa B, Franky Kloeck, Ghost, Nico Parisi. M.I.K.E Push, Yves Deruyter, Zolex, Bountyhunter and Phi Phi. Proof of the popularity and influence of the beloved label today is that the stage was packed all day long. Many fans came specifically to visit this stage and to re-live memories from the past, and enjoy the classics. After our interview at the Luminosity Festival in Amsterdam, I met up with Laurent Veronnez aka Airwave, right after his set at the Bonzai stage, and I sought an interview. He is a very polite and warm-hearted person, and he agreed to record an interview and I hope you will enjoy the result.
     
First of all Airwave talks about his DJ set over the second weekend and says if he is satisfied with the result and the crowds response to it.  Next he tells us his opinion of the Tomorrowland festival, and he congratulates the organisers of the festival on its tenth year anniversary. Next he reveals his personal key to happiness, and offers some interesting spiritual advice. I asked if the DJ set he delivered over the second weekend was exactly the same the first, and he chooses some of the stand-out tracks from his second weekend DJ set. Also, we discuss about the contribution Bonzai music has made to the global electronic dance music culture, and if the new direction of the label towards deeper progressive house sounds has paid off. He speaks about his record label LCD, and its current and forthcoming releases. Then he mentions his personal releases on Bonzai Progressive & JOOF, and he tells us about his forthcoming DJ gigs all over the world. This includes Argentina, thanks to his signing with Jam DJ Agency in the UK. Finally I ask about the new influences that are incorporated in his productions, and he gives us a very personal and surprising message for the viewers of the interview.



Thanks very much to Laurent Veronnez for his time to film this interview.

Many thanks to Marnik & Fly at Bonzai Progressive offices for their continued support and friendship. 

Many thanks to Debby Wilmsen & ID&T Belgium for the press accreditation.

Tomorrowland 2014 is the 10 years anniversary of the biggest and the best electronic dance music event in the world at the moment. Tomorrowland sets the standards that the rest are obliged to follow if they wish to compete in equal terms with the festival that like Tsunami wins more and more friends and supporters worldwide. The expansion of the festival in USA as Tomorrowworld and the first ever Tomorrowland Brazil edition in 2015 are testaments of the great growth, success and big respect that the festival gets not only from the festival goers but also from the artists who talk very positively about how everything is organised in its smallest detail in order to give to everybody that participates a nice pleasurable and carefree as possible experience.

Two magical weekends and one of the artists who had the opportunity to perform on both of them was Jorn Van Deynhoven. The extremely gifted producer and dj produces successful releases and unforgettable tracks rocked the Trance Addict stage with his top selections and his very personal dj style as well. I manage to catch up with Jorn at the backstage of Tomorrowland festival and request an interview that I'm happy that was filmed and now you enjoy as well. First of all I ask Jorn about his wishes for the 10 years Tomorrowland celebrations and his opinion about this global phenomenon. Next we asked about the contest that he took part and won with his track New Horizons that become the official anthem for the ASOT650 events. We talk about is insistence to produce the "Pure Trance" sound with nice breakdown and euphoric riffs. He explains why he decided to produce not only uplifting but also club trance tracks on that 132-135 BPM style that seems to be very popular in contrast with uplifting trance style. He presents his current track Lazy Sundays with Vitodito and explains how was produced and he tells that he is interested to carry on produce that progressive sound as well.



Next question is about the time he spends in his studio and he confesses that he adores to continuously learn about music productions and how he can add new ideas in his tracks. He tells his honest opinion about vocal trance tracks that 80% of them according to Jorn are not high standards. He speaks about his two remixes for the massive hit  Black Hole by Craig Connelly & Christina Novelli and for Armin van Buuren's Love Never Came featuring Richard Bedford. He is currently working on the follow up of New Horizons and he reveals that he produces tracks for other producers or djs as well. Of course I ask him if he believe that the German trance scene will ever come back and he pays his tribute to the legend of Frankfurt trance sound Talla 2XLC. Last question is about his forthcoming gigs and he give us his really nice message to all his fans as well. Jorn is not only a great dj and producer but also very pleasant as an interviewee.



Thanks very much to Jorn for his time to record this interview.

Thanks very much to Leandros Liasides who helped to organise this interview.

Thanks very much to Marije de Konink & Carmen van der Werf at Armada Music press office for their support to organise interviews.

Not forgetting thanks to Debby Wilmsen & ID&T Belgium for the press accreditation.

 Tomorrowland 2014 was a phenomenal success. 360,000 visitors from all over the world gathered in Belgium to celebrate not only their common love and affection for electronic dance music, but also the 10 year anniversary of this great festival. That was managed thanks to the insistence and belief of ID&T Belgium, to make it grow and expand into a global event where the whole world turns its head and takes a closer look.

Tomorrowland is not only about the finest entertainment anymore; Tomorrowland is a way of looking at the world and perceiving your position in it. It has spiritual identity and inspires people to live in unity, peace and harmony without fights and stupid wars. The festival supports the environment and takes extra care to be Green friendly, and to keep the natural surroundings of the recreational park De Shorre as clean and as safe as possible, because part of the success of the festival is that amazing location which is not so easy to find these days.

Tomorrowland attempts to encourage tolerance of differences, and is one of those festivals that welcomes people with disabilities and the festival goers are very supportive and helpful to disabled people, who don't give up life and fight for their own right to party. Three great days to make new friends, forge new bonds, experience great food, and party with the finest DJ sets by DJs like Steve Angelo, Hardwell, Alesso, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Dave Clarke, Sander van Doorn, Markus Schulz and of course the pioneer and legend Ferry Corsten. 

Once again, Ferry Corsten had the honour both weekends of delivering to the festival his Full-On stage, including the coolest and most diverse line-up representing Trance, Progressive House, Electro House and of course, festival sounds from DJs such as Aly & Fila B2B with John O'Callaghan, Audien, Adrian Lux, Jacob Van Hage, Jochen Miller, Marco V, Sied van Riel and Sick Individuals. After each DJ set Ferry joined the DJ for a fun-packed explosive exclusive b2b DJ set. At both weekends, the Full-On stage was absolutely packed with thousands of visitors standing by to dance, jump and sing along together with hands in the air. I'm very pleased that Ferry Corsten accepted the challenge to record an interview with me, which you can watch it right here. 

First of all I asked his opinion about Tomorrowland and how he feels being part of this festival once again, with his stage especially for the 10 year anniversary two weekends edition. Also he explains the reasons behind Tomorrowland & ID&T Belgium's decision to select him to host his stage, and he tell us if he is happy with this year's line up on his stage and which back2back DJ set was most fun to do. Next we discuss his New World Punx project with Markus Schulz, and he describe his experience of the New World Punx DJ set on the main stage of Tomorrowland during the first weekend, which was extremely hot with high temperature with some showers. He reveals the forthcoming releases for New World Punx that may develop into an album project in the near future. Of course we talk about his current single 'Festival Crash' and forthcoming singles that he admits will be more radio friendly but with festival appeal as well.



Next issue Ferry talks about is his record label Flashover Recordings, and the kind of tracks he decides to release and he gives his advice to young producers about the kind of tracks they are searching for to pick up and release on his labels. Lastly, I asked him about his radio show Corsten's Countdown and he confesses his key to happiness according to the motto of this year's Tomorrowland! Once again Ferry Corsten proves how professional, talkative and gifted an artist he is, and he always has that wonderful friendly smile! Must watch without doubt.

Inspiring Italian producers Flatdisk have been exciting to watch.

Conquering the Beatport charts, getting featured on Hardwell On Air and receiving support from key industry players, these guys are on the up and up.

They took Orjan Nilsen’s anthemic ‘Hurricane’ and twisted it into a pop-piano affair reminiscent of Coldplay’s signature emotion.

Flatdisk made a stunning rendition of Nilsen’s instant classic.






Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved Norwegian superstar Orjan Nilsen catapulted charts and dj playlists with his full on hands in the air euphoric big room trancer Hurricane featuring the most wanted voice in trance Christina Novelli. Of course the Flatdisk remix will prove that Christina's voice sounds perfect in progressive house and in any other music style that you may think of. Flatdisk had the opportunity to put his hands on Hurricane and does his outstanding magic in truly epic Swedish progressive house style with punchy basslines, hard kicks and massive hands in the air euphoric synths combined with nice piano chords in the euphoric unforgettable climax. The breakdown is simply breathtaking with nice indie rock guitar riffs in the beginning and then explosion of feel good pianos that will elevate your mind and soul to a higher dimension. Flatdisk builds slowly their reputation and we will see them much more in the near future climbing higher as we jump up higher when from the speakers their remix is played in full volume as prerequisite. Sonic Hurricane, no doubts. #PureGold Love iT
