World renowned international DJs and producers, Steve Lawler, Tiefschwarz and Audiofly are confirmed to join forces for the landmark VIVA MUSIC TOUR this Autumn. The North American tour dates kick off in Montreal on October 16, 2008 and finishes on November 1, 2008 in Miami.
Sponsored by leading electronic music website, Beatport, a state of the art music studio will be installed on the tour bus. All three artists will be creating original music and remixes while on the road which will be released later through Lawler’s label, Viva Music and distributed by Beatport. Beatport will also provide marketing and daily coverage of the tour on their website, Beatportal.com.
Steve Lawler explains, “We will be touring across the United States and Canada on a tour bus, but what makes this tour unique is that all the artists, myself, Tiefschwarz and Audiofly, will have access to a studio on the bus, and will be making an EP of tracks together. It is very exciting to know that when we finish a gig and we are all hyped up from the crowd, we can continue to create music once we are on the road to our next destination. What better time! And five heads are certainly better than one, I think some really amazing music is going to come from this. With a line up of amazing venues with great sound systems, and the studio set up on the tour bus, I am very excited about this tour.”
Ali and Basti from Tiefschwarz continue, “Staying on a tour bus is something new for us but we love the idea of jumping into the bus right after the show and getting on the road to the next city right away – no driving to airports, no check in, no stop-over, no security lines. Then to have the chance to work on music together in the studio on the bus is an amazing opportunity. All of this will help increase Tiefschwarz’s profile in America and in the electronic music community – it’s great to see how the scene is developing over the last few years!”
Antony Middleton from Audiofly adds, “We are delighted to be included in this tour line-up. It’s a rare and pleasurable opportunity to spend good times with good friends in the industry, as well as doing the thing we all enjoy the most. Looking forward to many good moments.”
