'X' Marks the Spot on the Upcoming Tour With Bassjackers and Dyro
This fall, North America is getting a Dutch invasion as Bassjackers and Dyro join forces for the first time since their 2013 GRID tour, to embark on a co-headlined journey called X. Though they have different styles, both acts are known for their crazy energetic output, so you can only imagine how crazy this tour is going to be.
Bassjackers
Bassjackers‘ members Marlon Flohr and Ralph van Hilst have been jackin’ the bass since 2007. Their big break came a few years later when their dancefloor weapon “Mush Mush” released on Tiësto’s Musical Freedom imprint and became one of the biggest club/festival tracks of 2011. Since the Bassjackers name is seemingly everywhere, whether it be on remixes for the likes of Rihanna, Enrique Iglesias and Moby, on lineups for events around the globe, on massive collaborations, or banging originals like “Crackin” and forthcoming single “Savior.”

Dyro
Dyro‘s story started a little differently. This young talent first started producing in 2011 and in that same year, had one of his tracks fall into the hands of reigning #1 DJ in the world, Hardwell. That track was “Metaphor” which we now know as Dyro’s official debut to the world – and what a debut that was. Dyro’s success has hardly slowed since, as follow-up releases like “Daftastic” and “Raid” only propelled him even further into the spotlight. The Dutch talent went on to remix songs for Hardwell, Dannic, R3hab, Afrojack, and even pop favorite Katy Perry has vied for his style. Known for creating huge progressive tracks with electro-influenced drops, Dyro knows his way around that peak-time sound and makes sure energy is the core element in each of his productions. Getting ready to release “Against All Odds” at the end of October on his very own imprint WOLV, there’s nothing but blue skies in the future for this young talent.

Bassjackers X Dyro Tour

The X tour kicks off on October 15th during Amsterdam Dance Event and then will embark on a six-week bus tour across the Atlantic for a 30-date run around every corner of North America. Come get jackin’ with Disco Donnie Presents and join us on our partnering dates:
