Electric Universe is a psychedelic trance project from Germany formed by Boris Blenn and Michael Dressler in 1991. Their first EP release, Solar Energy was an instant hit with the underground trance scene and is often credited with putting the Spirit Zone Recordings label at the forefront of psychedelic trance early on. According to The Sofia Echo, they were "hailed in the 1990s as one of the top psychedelic trance projects to come out of Germany".

Envision a world where ethereal beats and timeless melodies rescue you from the everyday and transport you to a higher state of consciousness. Welcome to your trance destination. In this place, we affirm that we are kindred spirits bound by deep passion—not only for the music we love, but for the community that surrounds it. That community is why we are here. You are the heart of Dreamstate. YOU are the Headliner.

Since 2015, Dreamstate has become the top-tier trance festival in the United States. What started off as a one-stage event inside the Damus Building at the NOS Event Center has since grown into a sprawling four-stage spectacle of sound, placing the creme de la creme of the industry behind each booth. But Dreamstate SoCal has been bitten by the expansion bug, and they feel that now is the perfect time to make a move that will upgrade the physical atmosphere of the brand for the foreseeable future.

This year, trance family members from around the globe will join together at the iconic Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach. This is the same venue that just recently hosted Day Trip Festival, and from the sounds of it, Insomniac has some extra special plans to turn what was recently a groovy gathering for house heads into an uplifting ethereal playground designed specifically for the trance enthusiast.

This year’s edition of Dreamstate SoCal will run until 1am each night, with on-site after-parties that promise to rage until the sun comes up. In addition, there’ll be an exclusive hotel close to the action so you can mix and mingle with your fellow trance addicts before and after the show, in between naps. More info on those special packages are to come.

Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Ferry Corsten, Lane 8 & Yotto, Andrew Bayer, Bryan Kearney, and more are slated to play Dreamstate SoCal this year.
Last week, Dreamstate delivered some major news for the faithful members of the trance family that flock to Southern California each year to bask in the genre’s sounds – they would be making a new home at the Queen Mary Waterfront on November 17-18. This announcement was met with plenty of discourse, with some excited for the new venue to explore while others felt a sense of sadness that it would be leaving its long-standing home at the NOS Events Center. Then, in the days that followed, the lineup for Dreamstate SoCal began to be revealed, and with it came even more unique changes to the event.

Akin to previous editions, there are a plethora of major artists in the trance realm who will be taking the stage at Dreamstate SoCal this year. Iconic artists such as Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Vini Vici, Richard Durand, Ferry Corsten, Liquid Soul, Astrix, Infected Mushroom, and Cosmic Gate are all making their return to the festival. Special projects like KEY4050, Paul Van Dyk’s Solikien, Orjan Nilsen and Mark Sixma’s Nilsix, Fleming & Lawrence, and Talla 2XLC’s RRAW! are also set to be present, while there are many b2b performances slated to occur as well.
