Electronic Family Festival 2012




Saturday 30 June 2012, mark this date with bright red in your international festival calendar. This is the day on which the second edition of the Electronic Family festival in the Amsterdamse Bos strikes down. This forest is the perfect venue to come together as one electronic family and share the love for trance with each other.
Alda Events proudly presents the line-up for the Family Stage:
Armin van Buuren
Paul van Dyk
Markus Schulz
Ferry Corsten
Marco V
Dabruck & Klein
This year we welcome the Armada Stage. It boasts top notch artists of the famous record label. The label is without a doubt a leader in Trance for years and a safe haven for many producers and DJs. The line-up of the Armada Stage is full of variety, with a lot of attention for new talent:
Alex M.O.R.P.H.
Shogun
Ørjan Nilsen
Sied van Riel
W&W
Ashley Wallbridge
Antillas
Ruben de Ronde
If the lineup isn’t enough reason to regard the festival as family day of the year, the rest will do so. Firstly because of the great audience that we welcomed last year, of whom many already expressed they can’t wait for this years edition. But also the organization ALDA Events knows what she needs to do! The heartwarming image of all those Trance fans from all over the world, together on one festival site, is printed in our memory.
The Electronic Family festival is the largest outdoor festival of its kind, but mainly a tribute to Trance. For us, Trance music is what feelings would sound like. It makes your heart pump like you’re in love. It makes your body dancing like nobody is going to put it on You Tube. Trance was and still is the universal language of millions of clubbers in the whole world. The international trance scene is tighter than ever. Above all it feels like one big family, by the shared love for trance.
We will create an ultimate experience in the Amsterdamse Bos. For all the Trance loving hearts. It’s about the people that make the party!
Join the Electronic Family and make everlasting souvenirs for your memory!

Dash Berlin - #musicislife






The release of his critically acclaimed, global debut album 'The New Daylight' rapidly established Dash Berlin as one of the top tastemakers in EDM today. Emotive tracks like 'Waiting', 'Till The Sky Falls Down' and 'Man On The Run' touched the hearts of millions of partygoers and are still regarded by many as among the most exalted anthems ever to emerge from the genre.

Despite his meteoric rise to the top 10 of the world's biggest deejays, front man and DJ, Jeff Sutorius, remains a humble and approachable figure that lives for the music. Fans and critics alike praise him for his contagious, charismatic enthusiasm and the incredible amounts of positive energy that he radiates during his performances.

With his brand-new '#musicislife' album, aptly named after one of his most popular Twitter hash tags, the 'Flying Dutchman' shows no signs of slowing down and is all set to kick off his monster #musicislife World Tour. Dash Berlin's much anticipated follow-up record contains signature hits such as "Disarm Yourself', which features the angelic vocals of Australian singer Emma Hewitt, 'Better Half Of Me' & 'World Falls Apart' the epic duology with top vocalist Jonathan Mendelsohn, the magical team up with German DJ superstar ATB on 'Apollo Road' and of course exciting new collaborations with artists such as Emma Hewitt, Shogun, Kate Walsh, Shanokee, Chris Madin, Hoyaa and Sarah Howells. British singer-songwriter Howells joins Berlin on his new single 'Go It Alone' accompanied by a gorgeous music video shot in South Africa.

Dash Berlin's massive 'Man On The Skyfire Dashup' is featured as an exclusive bonus track on the album, due to the huge public demand for the track. The exhilarating hybrid was one of many highlights from his recent, but already legendary 'A State Of Trance 550' performances in Russia and Miami, which quickly became two of the most sought-after and talked about sets in the history of the event, catapulting his infectious #Dashups as a worldwide trend on social media platforms such as Facebook, VK and Twitter. Dash Berlin is the future and that future is happening here and now.

Faith, Reason, and Memory - by David Whalen


Where faith serves
 as faithful guide

And truth becomes 
the path to ride
Reason, the compass

To give direction

The mind a map

To which we must subscribe
Memory, apportioned

To mere reflection

Conscience a cape

Neath which to hide
Faith will guide…

truth will be the way

Reason will the direction lay

Memory will give mind, today
And mirror’s light
 Remind us of…

The path on which
 To stay



Giuseppe Ottaviani & Betsie Larkin - Toys (Official Music Video)




It’s so real when it dies down
It’s so real when you’re around
You’re shining there
You’re lying there
I can’t look down
I feel like I have left the ground
It’s so real
Will it ever be this good?
It could never be like you
Cause you made it all come true
It could never be like you
Like you
Cause you made it all come true
It could never be like you
Like you
Like you
Cause you made it all come true
It could never be like you
It could never be like you



Omnia feat. Melissa Loretta - Halo (Original Mix)




So face the dawn inside your soul,
when the haze is at your door,
just lean your head on my heart.

And when the fear has made a home,
tries to take you from my arms,
I'll stand against the force of midnight...

So leave the stars on, 
I'm a sailor for your soul,
and flee the mountains,
and I'll be your door,
leave the towers, feel the ocean floor,

no you don't have to fall,
when there's a halo holding on...
