Datsik’s Ninja Nation Tour
During the “Ninja Nation Tour” the Canadian producer/DJ will be playing cuts from his Firepower arsenal along with favorite tracks and selections from his new EP, Down 4 My Ninjas, which is due out Nov. 25.
The trek is described as “a call to arms for his fans across the continent … to experience Datsik’s homage to hip-hop influence on American dubstep.” Datsik is bringing VORTEX 3.0 – the third edition of his psychedelic stage set – on the road. Of course, the stage will be all spruced up with upgrades tied in with the ninja theme.
If you hadn’t guessed, Datsik is obsessed with ninjas and all things martial arts. He even calls his fans the Ninja Squad.
“I am really excited to be going back on the road for what is undoubtedly going to be the biggest tour I have ever done,” Datsik said. “We are gonna be on the road for four months with some insane new talent as well as some names you’ve grown to love. We will have the infamous PK sound system with us again and the new Vortex 3.0 at most of the shows. This tour is gonna be on a whole new level of sick and I can’t wait!”
