Follow Along as One Lucky Fan Embarks on a Trip of a Lifetime, Courtesy of Disco Donnie
Looking back over the past year, we’ve had a lot of fun times together on the dance floor. As a thank you for sharing these memories with us, James “Disco” Donnie Estopinal personally awarded one lucky Disco dancer the trip of a lifetime to see Armin Van Buuren in Amsterdam on December 6th.
Hand-picked by Donnie himself, superfan Kevin Kim is heading to the Ziggo Dome with a friend on an all-expenses-paid vacation. The trip is a package which Donnie placed a winning bid on at the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Foundation dinner during this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event. Proceeds support the charities of the Foundation which connect DJs and young fans to help raise money for causes around the world. Since Kevin has been on the Disco dance floor more times than we can count, Donnie decided to give him the package.
Donnie says, “Giving to charitable initiatives, like the DJ Mag Foundation, is a priority to Disco Donnie Presents, but when these initiatives can translate into giving back to devoted fans, like Kevin, it’s a win-win. Kevin has attended more than 90 DDP events over the past 30 months – which is testament to just how amazing our fans are. Rewarding him with the chance to meet Armin in Amsterdam aligns with his devotion to dance music and our love of our fans.”
Kevin’s trip includes roundtrip airfare to Amsterdam, lodging, a tour of the venue, backstage access to the last Armin Only show and a meet-and-greet with Armin himself!
Armin van Buuren’s Intense world tour kicked off a little over a year ago in November and made stops on every continent except Antarctica. The Armin-only show has featured performances from a full live band and six vocalists, proving to be as impressive as much as it is unforgettable. The final show will be culmination of the tour in a grand spectacle occasion with many surprises and never-before-seen elements.

Get Down With Your Ninjas Datsik and Disco Donnie Presents on the 'Ninja Nation' Tour
Datsik has been letting everyone know he got his swagga back since 2009 and on his latest release, Down 4 My Ninjas, Datsik is using that same swag to pay homage to hip hop’s influence in American bass music.
Collaborating with the legendary KRS-1 and DJ Paul K.O.M. of Three Six Mafia, Down 4 My Ninjas breaths new life into the hip hop genre but in the form of obliterating bass. Having just released the EP on November 25th on his own Firepower Records, Datsik is ready to hit the road! Bringing his masterful twist of ricocheting bass with him, Datsik embarks on the Ninja Nation Tour, coming to a city near you early next year.
Hitting more than 50 stops across North America, Datsik’s Ninja Nation Tour promises to be an explosive event with a sound system fit for destruction. Featuring an updated version of his signature stage production, Vortex 3.0 joins the tour with 100,000 watts of sound and a guaranteed bass-sensory overload.
Datsik isn’t the only ninja bringing the heat on this particular tour – the Canadian talent has commissioned ETC!ETC!, Truth, Bear Grillz, Kennedy Jones, Twine and more to join the Ninja Nation Tour on select dates.
