MitiS, also known as Joseph Torre, takes his unique interpretation of piano derived melodic music to festival stages around the world. Born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, the eclectic music producer has spent his entire life surrounded by music, beginning his training as a classical pianist at a young age. He is an artist in the purest sense, pouring his soul into every release by fusing his classical roots with his mastery and technical production. MitiS has built a devoted and loyal fanbase (known as the MitiS Mob), which helps to spread his music to all parts of the globe. His album ‘Lost’ reached #1 on the iTunes Dance/Electronic chart and was ranked the #8 album of the week on Spotify across all genres (04/09/21). With more music in the works, MitiS is looking forward to continuing paving his path forward as a pioneer in melodic dance music.

 

Born in Bangladesh, raised in New York City, inspired by everything from indie-punk to hip-hop, orchestral symphonies and the Bollywood classics of his parents, Jai Wolf’s life and music have been defined by a liminal quality that only a third culture kid could understand. It’s that quality that takes center stage in his music, as he slips between references to cultural moments with an ephemeral quality tinged with nostalgia. The sunny melodies and bombastic hooks bely subject matter that often ruminates on loneliness, distance, and a lack of place. This all converges to create an emotional complexity to the music that cuts deeper than the average festival fare.

 

MashBit, born Dariush Mash in Sardinia, Italy, has been exposed to music and different cultures from the tender age of 3, when he started to “play drums” by beating two spoons against a pillow, while following the rhythm of the song that was playing on the radio. As he grew older, he picked up more instruments including the guitar, piano, drums, which eventually led him to music production and composition. Knowing this passion could turn into a career, Dariush enrolled in a collegiate program and got his degree in Music Composition and Recording Technology, and after graduating in 2019, he started the MashBit project. After years of crafting his sound, MashBit had its first major exposure in late 2022, after gaining an exponential momentum on Tiktok and Instagram for his mashups, remixes and original work, which brought plenty of attention to the brand from many respected names in the industry. Fast forward to today, MashBit has kept a high momentum and has been providing his value and notable skills in the Electronic scene through incredible compositions, filled with out-of-this-world melodies and breathtaking performances that include exciting live guitar solos and riffs. With over half a million followers across platforms, and over 550k monthly listeners on Spotify, MashBit has no plan to stop growing in the industry, to one day become a world renown name.

With a legacy of uniting trance lovers from around the world, this year’s event, now in partnership with Insomniac Europe, promises to elevate the experience to new heights.

Just now, on his globally syndicated A State of Trance radio show, Armin van Buuren announced that the legendary namesake festival will return to Rotterdam on Friday, February 21st and Saturday, February 22nd, 2025.

After expanding into a two-day event last year, A State of Trance is returning as a weekend festival in partnership with Insomniac Europe, featuring an electrifying lineup, multiple stages, and the fan-favorite A State of Trance Hotel. The highlight of the weekend is slated to be the totally unique 5-hour Friday show where Armin van Buuren will invite multiple artists on stage to play back-to-back with him. On Saturday, fans can expect over 25 DJ’s performing across five stages, truly showcasing the best the trance music scene has to offer.

After starting as a weekly radio show in 2001, A State of Trance quickly became a global phenomenon, reaching millions of listeners each week and growing into an incredibly dedicated and connected community. With the launch of the festival soon after, the event became a yearly pilgrimage for trance fans around the world to unite and enjoy the music together, also quickly gaining ground as one of the most influential and celebrated global events in trance and electronic dance music.

Now, working in partnership with Insomniac Europe — the European outpost of the global festival powerhouse Insomniac — A State of Trance is poised to reach new heights.

This really feels like a new chapter for us and I am excited to see what we can achieve together.”

NOTION SHARES HIS EVOLVED SOUND ON GENRE BENDING ‘FORWARDS’ MIXTAPE

The mixtape sees NOTION continuing to delve into his personal journey as an artist, spanning multiple genres, collabs and creative vision.

Returning from his US/CA tour earlier this month in the midst of a packed summer schedule, established UK dance music DJ-producer NOTION shares his ‘FORWARDS’ mixtape that showcases his journey of self exploration as he moves ‘forwards’ with a fresh and versatile sound.

BUY / STREAM NOTION - ‘FORWARDS’ HERE

Having teased the highly anticipated project throughout 2024 with multiple singles and collabs, the Bristol based producer now unveils the full mixtape that spans garage, house, breaks, jungle and beyond. Widening the net in his sound that was originally rooted in bass music, NOTION’sFORWARDS’, marks a continuation of his growth and versatile palette following the success of 'OUTSIDER' back in 2022 that also saw him push himself creatively and connect the music with visuals.

Introducing a new and evolved NOTION, ‘FORWARDS’ continues to push this fresh direction forward, marking a more personal project to the DJ-producer both musically and creatively. Not influenced by current trends and how music and art is consumed, NOTION delivered the mixtape with only one goal in mind, to prioritise art over the algorithm:

“I hate the way all art seems to get reduced down to 15 second clips now and the songs on this project, all the music videos and everything else are kind of a fuck you to all that disposable culture and I hope something that still sound (and look) as good in five years as they do now.” - NOTION

The new mixtape features previous singles ‘FEEL LIKE ME’, ‘TEMPORARY FRIENDS’ with Charlotte Plank, ‘BACKBONE’ with Olivia Rose, ‘TV DREAMS’, ‘GRAVITY’ and ‘THINK ABOUT U’ as well as never heard before club cuts like ‘STYLING’ ‘SECRETS’ and ‘LITTLE STEPS’. NOTION describes the project as a mixtape born from club music but with a personal touch and a better representation of who he is as an artist today. It’s a project that feels just as much at home driving at 2AM on the motorway as it does in the early hours of a packed dance floor.

Also sealing the approval of industry peers, the release so far has received praise from the likes of Sammy Virji, Conducta, salute, Disclosure, Ewan McVicar, Ben UFO, Floating Points and more. Constantly shaping his sound, NOTION has continued to rack up millions of streams to his name. His viral hit ‘Found Love’ reached Silver Certification amassing over 43M streams whilst his first collaborative single this year, ‘Was It Enough’ with Eljé, has achieved over 200K plays and support from Jaguar, Charlie Tee, Jeremiah Asiamah and BBC Introducing across BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra plus more.

Whilst on the road, NOTION’s in demand sound saw him return for his second US/CA  tour this year including HARD Summer in Los Angeles, Elsewhere in New York and Chasing Summer Festival in Calgary, Canada. Back on home soil, he’s had his busiest year yet that included  Love Saves The Day in Bristol, making his Glastonbury debut on the NoWhere stage b2b with Oppidan, The Cause in London, Leeds Festival plus his ‘FORWARDS’ UK tour kicking off in Autumn this year at Hidden, Manchester, Thekla, Bristol, and Venue MOT in London.

This September he will return to AU/NZ for a special eight date tour as he takes his ‘Dance Dubs’ project to the other side of the world following the success of last years run of shows at  Beyond the Valley with over 10K people in attendance at his set, Wildlands, Field Day, and Hidden Lakes. His long standing Dance Dubs project consists of exclusive unreleased tracks across Soundcloud and Bandcamp primed for the dance floor, recently getting the support of Ben UFO and Joy Orbison at Dekmantel. His Skepta dub on Soundcloud  reached over 500K plays, with many more in the catalogue causing a stir amongst fans and fellow DJs and has allowed NOTION to build a loyal fanbase with over 2K fans signing up to his broadcast community. 

Nailing multiple genres effortlessly as he delivers his most authentic, experimental and valuable work yet, ‘FORWARDS’, marks NOTION’s biggest and most impressive release to date.
