Something Wicked Weekend Warriors: Arnej, Ryan Hemsworth, Cosmic Gate

The weekend is here! Break out the cold drinks, hang out with friends and whatever you do, don’t think about work or school. Saturday, October 26th will include all of that and then some, as Houston’s premier Halloween event, Something Wicked returns to the Sam Houston Race Park. Have you bought your tickets yet?

Before we get down, here are three mixes from our Wicked roster to get you pumped for the upcoming event.

Arnej – ASOT600 Mumbai

Any trance fan will tell you that A State of Trance is one of the most, if not the most-anticipated events for the genre. This year, Arnej joined the all-star lineup for the world famous ASOT 600 in Mumbai.

Arnej’s set starts of with an intro version of “Adagio,” creating a wafting space for the crowd. You can feel the tension and energy mount as he dives into a collection of tracks that deliver on that same driving innovation that made the event (and its empire) so popular in the first place.

Ryan Hemsworth – Koalas & Echidnas (Triple J Friday Mix)

The Triple J mix show is one of Australia’s most notable radio exports. Reading the list of past guests reads like a who’s who of dance music heavy hitters. Something Wicked artist Ryan Hemsworth provided his talents to the revered brand.

The Koala and Enchidnas mix is what we’ve come to know and love about Ryan Hemsworth. Starting off with a cover of Ciara, the mix features a heavy dose of some of Ryan’s own edits, demos and remixes.
