All they told me is that I was invited to the A State of Trance pre-party that would be taking place on a boat somewhere in Amsterdam. |
And then at the designated time a bus took me from my hotel to the party ship Ocean Diva docked somewhere in Amsterdam Noord. |
The ship was set-up dance club style with a DJ booth and dance floor on the lowest deck. |
Went downstairs and found DJ Ruben de Ronde (NL) already blasting out Vocal Trance! |
First time seeing Ruben since Echostage in Washington DC back in 2016 here. |
999 friends and myself from the official ASOT hotel were surprised with this quality pre-party lineup which was not advertised in advance! |
We had no idea what was to come! |
After a one hour set, DJ duo Super8 & Tab (FIN) would take over! |
First time ever seeing them perform. |
They were lively and engaging with the crowd. |
The private party was jammed! |
And everyone invited was excited to be here! |
And then at 12:30AM, everyone had their cameras out! |
And our ASOT headliner came in! |
Armin van Buuren (NL). |
Everyone went crazy! |
And he would play a set of old Classics as well as newer songs. |
Packed to the rafters! |
You can never have too much Armin! |
The fun continues tonight with the actual Episode 900 celebration of his weekly radio show A State of Trance which in the United States is heard on Sirius/XM. |
The event takes place at the Jaarbeurs Arena in Utrecht, about one half hour from Amsterdam. |
The Blog will be there! |
After 90 minutes, it was over and he departed as quickly as he had arrived! |
Taking over the controls, DJ Mark Sixma (NL). |
He would play a set of popular hits from the past. But as 3AM approached, I had had enough and I still had the bus ride back to my hotel to contemplate. |
A good time was had by all! |
