While New York was treated to the Innerspace theme in 2012, 2013 will bring The Ocean Of White to cities across America this fall with seven more exclusively 21+ affairs. With stops in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, and New York, ticket sales for the next round of Sensation parties will begin on Friday, June 14th at 10am local times.

Launched in 2000 by ID&T, the Sensation brand has grown to become the largest global dance music event in the world – to date over 80 Sensation events have been held worldwide. Last year marked the first time the iconic event would touch down on American soil, selling out in minutes and transforming Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn in a sea of white for two days in late October. This fall Sensation returns for an extended US tour, bringing its alabaster aesthetics to a much larger American audience as it invades San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas and Miami.

Sensation had its North America inauguration last October and instantly became known as the most unique event to reach the states. With production grand enough to break Brooklyn’s sound limit, the rest of the continent will be in for a treat when the event begins to pop up in new cities. Luckily, for our neighbors to the north, the next Sensation event has been announced and will moving out of the United States to touch down in Canada. While no details regarding location or dates have been revealed, one this is certain — Canadians are in for a treat this year.
With all that has transpired over the course of our, young, new year, Sensation’s American inauguration three months ago seems like a distant memory to those tuned in to dance music news. To residents in Brooklyn, New York, however, it feels like just yesterday. Brooklyn’s Barclays Center opened last fall as home to the Brooklyn Nets and has since hosted a variety of concerts, ranging from Jay-Z to Justin Bieber, that have caused complaints from neighbors — but none have been as loud as Sensation America.
“It was so loud that night that I had my headphones on watching TV — and I could still feel the vibration and hear the noise from the show” – Wayne Bailey, Brooklyn Resident and Barclays Center neighbor
Read below the break to find out how loud and how Brooklyn is paying the consequences.
Following a musical weekend unlike any other on American soil, Sensation resident Fedde Le Grand has released a double-disc set to commemorate the event’s move stateside. Sensation Innerspace – New York 2012 encapsulates the feel, the magic, and the music of the now-international event, featuring captivating track selections from Nom De Strip & Hatiras, dBerrie, Technasia, and, of course, Fedde himself. The first disc is mixed by Fedde Le Grand and is defined by its chest-thumping basslines and barely-mainstream tracks. The second disc is the official Sensation Innerspace Mix, finely curated by the seasoned sound senses of ID&T.
Playing these discs back-to-back recreates some of the magic apparent at Sensation NYC last weekend. The sets are not your typical progressive house compilations, but instead mimic the energy and excitement of the global event and can easily be compared to those played at the Barcalys Center last weekend. We are thoroughly enjoying the extension of Sensation and urge you to do the same. Click past the break to check out the full tracklists and pick up your copy of the sets on iTunes.

You couldn’t ignore the feeling that something special was happening in Brooklyn, New York on Friday night — as it appeared, a majestic flock of white souls were pouring into the brand new, spaceship resembling Barclays Center. Approaching the arena at 8pm to see a never-ending scatter of people dressed in white from head to toe, I was overwhelmed with nostalgia. The visual was one thing, but the excitement in the air – unavoidable upon entrance — brought me back to my last Sensation experience exactly 7 months earlier in Hasselt, Belgium. Before setting foot inside the arena, standing amongst the 15,000 other concertgoers, it became evident that this night would go down in dance music history.
