98-5 VIRGIN Radio presents the advanced movie screening of ‘WANDERLUST’ at Empire Theatre Shawnessy, on Wednesday, February 22nd at 7pm!
Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston star in ‘WANDERLUST’, a comedy from director David Wain (Role Models) and producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) about a couple who leaves the pressures of the big city and joins a freewheeling community where the only rule is to be yourself.
George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George’s awful brother in Atlanta.
On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can’t buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them.
Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?
‘WANDERLUST’ hits theatres on Friday, February 24th!

Early Bird Tickets- $29 and Advance $39 available at Ticketmaster and The Back Alley Nightclub.
Dash Berlin is a true DJ at heart with a profound passion for the comprehensive culture of dance music. He is often described as an invigorating and charismatic newcomer, with the unique ability to leave a long-lasting impression upon his audience well after the night is over. Dash is one of those rare individuals that seems to understand the unwritten laws of the nightclub by nature. He keeps his ever expanding, nocturnal following alert, ecstatic and craving for more, with remarkable precision and skill. One could easily mistake him for a superstar deejay. However, the truth remains that Dash Berlin views the world through the same eyes as his public. “It’s virtually impossible to make progress without the continuing support of the people”, he humbly said.
While the past few years have seen the polished productions of Dash Berlin take centre stage after the release of 'The New Daylight' album, the past 12 months have seen DJing become the focus. The 'United Destination' compilation saw release in April (set to become an annual concept), with DJ frontman Jeffrey Sutorius performing far and wide around the world.
A busier-than-ever DJ schedule has meant there's barely been time for Dash Berlin to take a breath in 2011. “It has been an epic year; a roller-coaster ride without breaks at times. I think I saw every corner of the world twice while touring,” Sutorius says with a smile. “Raising the roof together with the big crowds at major festivals like EDC, Mayday, Eurofest and of course the legendary ASOT500 celebration with Armin, they've all been unforgettable moments.”
A weekly residency in Ibiza with Paul Oakenfold at the sprawling Privilege also meant Dash Berlin's distinctive vocal trance was transported to more ears than ever before, and this was consolidated with the first big push into the US, on a sold-out tour that stretched from New York to Las Vegas.
“A spontaneous collaboration with ATB has also been a real highlight this year, melting our sounds together in the track 'Apollo Road', which we performed together for an exploding crowd in Poland as an exclusive surprise act at his solo concert,” says Sutorius. “It's simply been an amazing year and it isn't even over yet.”
“I have a weak spot for vocals, because of the story-telling element, which can literally move people to tears. The way a crowd responds to different sounds or a certain type of arrangement is essential information to me. Capturing that dancefloor vibe in the music is key in the constant development of my signature sound.”
