Datsik In January

If you’re thinking that a tour name such as “Firepower Reloaded” hints at a sequel of sorts, you’d be correct. Coinciding with the launch of his independent Firepower Records, Datsik named his fall outing the “Firepower Tour.”

Presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, Datsik’s “Firepower Reloaded” tour will also feature his “Vortex” DJ booth equipped with real-time 3D-mapping technology created by V Squared Labs for effects that stimulate your visual cortex as much as his mixing moves your dancing feet. Plus, Canada’s PK Sound has turned up the volume by adding 50,000 watts to the tour’s sound system.

Here’s the schedule:

Jan. 9 – Ottawa, Ontario, Ritual Nightclub
Jan. 10 – London, Ontario, The Music Hall
Jan. 11 – Toronto, Ontario, The Guvernment
Jan. 12 – New York, N.Y., Best Buy Theater
Jan. 13 – Washington, D.C., 9:30 Club
Jan. 15 – Syracuse, N.Y., The Westcott Theater
Jan. 16 – Providence, R.I., Fete
Jan. 17 – Boston, Mass., Royale Nightclub Boston
Jan. 18 – Asbury Park, N.J., Convention Hall
Jan. 19 – Pittsburgh, Pa., Rex Theater
Jan. 23 – Tuscaloosa, Ala., The Dixie
Jan. 24 – Athens, Ga., Georgia Theatre
Jan. 25 – Atlanta, Ga., The Quad
Jan. 26 – Nashville, Tenn., Marathon Music Works

Word from Datsik’s camp is that venue constraints will keep him from deploying his Vortex production in Ottawa and London. Similar constraints at venues in Tuscaloosa, Athens, Atlanta and Nashville will prohibit use of the Vortex or the PK Sound audio set up.
