The dates for WMC 2012 have been announced: March 16 - March 25 in Miami, Florida. Yes, next year's conference spans over 2 weeks! This is a much better alternative to 2011 where, much to the chagrin of veteran conference goers, WMC was held in early March and Ultra Music Festival later in the month.

The first day Tomorrowland 2011 was great! We'll be at the festival again today to take photos/videos so if you see us come get your picture taken!
Music speaks louder than words. It is easier to understand RoryJames by the feelings that get expressed through his music. Inspired mainly by 80's electronica, along with the trancemasters M.I.K.E.,
Chris Cowie, Airwave, and Oliver Lieb, Rory has obtained a knowledge high enough to pump out huge tunes while managing to keep distinctiveness not by choice.
After a short time in the studio, Rory's tunes have already seen the light of day and the dark of club with releases on Metallic Recordings, Conspiracy Recordings, and soon to be Vaccine Records.
His tunes have reached the music arsenals of names such as M.I.K.E. Tom Colontonio, Mark Andrez, Activa, Jon O'Bir, Frase, Suzy Solar, John Askew, Eddie Halliwel, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Aly & Fila, and Sean
Tyas just to name a few, and the list will inevitably expand even further.
If you get a chance to experience Rory behind the decks, expect nothing but the real contents – emotional melodies, driving hi hats, rolling basslines, atmospheric pads, and thumpin kicks. The real
trance. The stuff that raises the hair on every centimeter of the body, the uplifting emotional epicness that will leave the listener in a perfect state.

Tytanium Sessions, hosted and mixed by Sean Tyas, is aproaching its 100th Episode! Sean has been doing radio shows for the better part of the past 6 years, under other titles such as "The Wednesday Whistle" and "Frequency Friday". Now streamlined, his unified "Tytanium Sessions" show is ready to celebrate this milestone.
Over the last 2 years, Tytanium Sessions' production quality, format, music choice, and theory have all evolved into what people have come to know on a weekly basis. Rarely a track repeated, unless by special request, and always looking to debut "up to the minute" new bangin', melodic, and powerful music.
Now it's time to put a vision to the sound:
Sean Tyas presents Tytanium Sessions 100
Thu June 23 - Circus Afterhours - Montreal, Canada
Fri June 25 - Webster Hall - New York, USA
Whether you were braving the massive crowds @ Main stage, being immersed in the club-like superstructure that was the Carl Cox/ASOT 500 tent, or mesmerized by the visuals in the Heineken Dome there was something for everyone.
