Last year, Datsik sizzled dance floors all across North America with his summer/fall Firepower Records Tour. This year, the Canadian artist announced that he will return to the road starting this fall for the Firepower Most Wanted Tour. On select dates, Datsik’s “Vortex” DJ booth, which was a highlight of the tour last year, will reemerge again, only this time it will be reincarnated as “Vortex Lumen.” Lumen, the term used for measuring light, will be a new adaption of the groundbreaking, real-time 3D-mapping technology created by V Squared Labs.

Joining him this go-round, Funtcase will be supporting on the full tour, along with Antiserum and Mayhem, who will be on the first half until November 3rd, and Protohype on dates starting November 4th through December 1st. Sub Antix, Must Die!, The Frim, and Rise At Night will open on two week stints each.

Starting up October 2nd, the first leg of dates will go through December and will relaunch in 2014, beginning January 15. Datsik and his cronies will bring their bass prowess to cities all over the country with additional dates for the first half to be announced soon.

“This tour is all about showcasing new talent and groundbreaking artists. There’s so much amazing music out there and I want to help champion new and emerging artists. The bus tour kicks things off in the fall, bringing along my favorite new artists but that’s only the beginning. Music is only one component of the brand.

This long-time producing DJ, Markus Schulz has had a whirlwind of a year. He’s been nominated for five International Dance Music Awards, been voted “Best American DJ,” played a 12-hour set at Tomorrowland, and even launched a new identity with fellow tranceman Ferry Corsten as New World Punx. But for this German-born artist, that’s just the beginning.

Aside from running his widely successful six-year old Global DJ Broadcast radio show (that reaches millions every week), he’s fervently working on his seven-year old imprint, Coldharbour Recordings. That hard work is definitely paying off as Coldharbour is one of the most respected trance and progressive labels out right now. Credited for launching the careers of Marcus Schössow, tyDi, and Glenn Morrison, Markus seems to have a knack for spotting great music.

As 2013 rages on, Markus continues to be a regular fixture in all of the world’s largest and most famous clubs, arenas and festivals. Starting this fall, we are excited to bring international producing DJ, Markus Schulz to a city near you!

British producing DJ Gareth Emery is one of those people who are seemingly good at everything. Before his debut vinyl release in 2002, Gareth ran a nightclub and record label, both called Garuda, received a degree in Politics, trained in classical piano, and even played guitar for a punk band in the mid-nineties. Having dabbled in many aspects of the music industry, it’s no wonder Gareth is a successful producer as well.

Though his debut release was a white label remix of The Shrink’s classic “Nervous Breakdown,” the track that really set his career alight is considered to be his third release, “Mistral” under his GTR moniker. Paul van Dyk debuted the track on the radio during the world-famous Nature One Festival in 2002, which lead to the support of the leading DJs like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten. Eleven years later and Gareth is still going strong, releasing a steady stream of output including recent hits like “Meet Her in Miami,” “The Saga,” and “Concrete Angel.”

With fans around the globe still yearning for more, Gareth is about to embark on his biggest North American tour yet. Beginning on August 31st, Gareth will be making over 21 stops all throughout the continent, spreading his infectious melodies to the masses. We’re excited to meet him in your neighborhood this fall.

Join Disco Donnie Presents and Gareth Emery on these dates:

• Gareth Emery in Portland, OR on Thursday, September 5

We’re about to take our music to the streets for the Mad Decent Block Party in Dallas this Saturday, August 31st. But before we get free and express ourselves, we need to protect ourselves.

While we’re dancing to artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus, the heat index in Dallas is expected to reach up to 104 degrees. We know we don’t need to remind you of how the sun can drain the body, so if you’re wondering what you can do to stay cool while you’re walking and dancing outside all day, we’ve got you covered…

• Stay hydrated by keeping a filled water bottle with you at all times.
• Look out for one another. If you and your friends have been sweating, grab some waters for the group to replenish nutrients.
• Enjoy our misting station.
• Dark colors absorb heat rays, so avoid wearing all dark clothes.

There are plenty of ways to stay cool at the Mad Decent Block Party in Dallas this year, so don’t miss out on your chance to go. Grab your tickets today!

Though once a pop-up celebration, the Mad Decent Block Party has grown into an awesomely ruckus traveling festival, bringing all-day performances and activities. This year, the tour will go to 13 cities all across the country with artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus and so many more. Disco Donnie Presents is excited to get free with Diplo and his crew at Club Zouk in Dallas on August 31st.

Disco Donnie Presents is excited to announce that we are hitting the road with one of the pioneers of trance, Paul van Dyk and coming to a city near you. Whether you are a recent dance music fan, or a long-time veteran, Paul van Dyk is a name that is near impossible to overlook. Having spent the majority of his adult life being a DJ, 2013 has seen the talent avidly touring across the world, infecting a new generation with his euphoric sound. As an artist, his milestones are to be commended. Like being one of the first artists to receive a Grammy nomination in the then newly created Best Dance/Electronic album category for instance. His world-renowned podcast Vonyc Sessions has been showing off Paul’s knack for selecting tracks that can energize any dancefloor for over six years. Through it all, Paul has become a permanent staple in the higher rankings of our community.

Though his first-ever release was in 1994, the East Berlin native shows no signs of slowing down. His latest single, “We Are One 2013,” is a track that exemplifies exactly what the world has come to love about Paul. The synths on this release incorporate a high-energy pandemic with loads of pitch-bending drops. We’re sure you’ll get to hear this euphoric banger on the road when we bring Paul van Dyk to a city near you.

Join us on our partnering dates:

• Paul van Dyk in Cleveland, OH on Wednesday, August 7
• Paul van Dyk in Orlando, FL on Thursday, August 8
• Paul van Dyk in Tampa, FL on Saturday, August 10

Award-winning DJ, producer, musician, label manager and #6 ranked in the DJ Mag Top 100, Hardwell has certainly left a lasting impression on the dance music industry. The 25 year old heavyweight Robbert van de Corput hails from Breda, Netherlands like his mentor Tiësto. When he was just 13, Hardwell was signed to a major Dutch label, spinning at all the major clubs across the Netherlands.

Hardwell first caught international success in 2009 with his “Show Me Love vs. Be” bootleg, which was one of the most popular and played dance hits of the year. In 2011 his hit “Zero 76” with Tiësto topped the #1 Beatport and #1 US iTunes spot, laying the foundation to become the established veteran he is today. Now with respected label Revealed Recordings under his belt and radio show/podcast Hardwell On Air that is broadcasted on more than 25 international radio stations, it’s easy to see why Hardwell has created the ultimate recipe for big room house, utilizing complex drum layers, bold synth structures, and emotive chords.

With a current tour diary that spans all over Europe, Asia, and multiple shows in the United States, Disco Donnie Presents is excited to bring Hardwell and fellow Dutchman, producer and mash-up maestro Dannic south of the border as they gear up for a Mexico tour with dates in October and November.
