Bassrush Massive Arizona 2017 || Event Review

Posted by | May 25, 2017 | , ,

There are two main reasons to come to Bassrush Massive Arizona: to headbang and to mosh. There is no mystery as to why people attend a Bassrush event. The international brand has a reputation to live up to, and this single day event in Phoenix was definitely another feather in their cap.

The reason is simple, Paul van Dyk is at the centre of my passion for electronic music, and especially trance. I remember hearing his now famous song “For An Angel” at the tender age of 9 back in 1998. I couldn’t believe that digital instruments could create such a beautiful piece of music.
