  • Stereosonic Releases 2014 Aftermovie [WATCH]

  • Tiësto Soundtracks Theme Park Efteling's Water Show

    Tiësto has been one of the global ambassadors for dance music for two decades. The "Wasted" DJ has expanded his reach beyond just music into arenas such as creating his own headphone like, partnering with Guess to start a special "Club Life" Tiësto brand of clothing and becoming a spokesman for numerous brands, including 7UP. The Dutch disc jockey has also taken to using his extensive back catalog to score water shows at fountains around the world, via "Dancing Astronaut." Recently, he went back to his native country of the Netherlands and brought his music to the fountains of fairy-tale theme park Efteling. According to Efteling, Tiësto set his music to the third largest water fountain show in the world, titled "Aquanura." Mixing between new and old, with some added cinematic interludes, the production was almost as good as a Tiësto festival show. Everything was right on time with matching lights and some added pyrotechnics thrown in for good measure to enthrall the small but enthusiastic crowd in attendance. For something this foreign to dance music, it was well-produced, with seamless transitions between songs, and the visuals matched effortlessly.

  • Tiësto Releases 'Drunk in Love' Remix as Free Download [LISTEN]

    Tiësto is a master at social media, so it is no surprise to see him reach 19 million fans on Facebook. To celebrate the achievement, Tijs Verwest — better known as Tiësto — has given out his remix of Beyoncé's smash single "Drunk in Love" as a free download. The "Red Lights" disc jockey gives the single a festival-sized melodic treatment, with big airy synths and a thumping bass line to compliment the cries from the "Flawless" singer. Old fans will be disappointed to see another release in 128 beats per minute with a standard four on the floor kick and festival-driven melody, but the new Tiësto has directed his new music to work for his DJ sets.

  • EDC Mexico Announces '15 Lineup: Jack Ü, Tiësto, Sasha, David Guetta, More

    Insomniac's Electric Daisy Carnival is one of the biggest dance music festival franchises in the world. The flagship festival EDC Las Vegas started in Los Angeles and has since moved to Las Vegas, but Insomniac began to grow the brand in the past five years to the East Coast, creating outposts in New York and Orlando and then spreading internationally. One of these international destinations has taken root in Mexico City, and Insomniac has announced the lineup for the second-annual edition of the festival. Habitual headliners like Tiësto, David Guetta, Laidback Luke, Dillon Francis and Sasha will all join the party, with a large cast of DJs to round out the lineup, including Diplo and Skrillex's side project Jack Ü, which Diplo announced the appearance of last month in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid. The lineup includes a variety of DJs from a wide swath of genres. Some of the acts heading to Mexico in the spring include Tommy Trash, Grum, Dubfire, Arty, GTA, Oliver Heldens, Orjan Nilsen, Claude VonStroke, Andrew Rayel and more, via "Mixmag." The festival will take place over two days, Feb. 28 to March 1. As it is in Las Vegas, EDC Mexico will be situated on a racetrack, this time closer to the city than in Las Vegas at the Autodrome Hermanos Rodriguez.

  • Resident Advisor Releases Top 100 DJs Poll; The Anti-DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll

    When it comes to DJ polls, there are two very different opposite rankings for the top DJs in the world. The most controversial one, the DJ Mag Top 100, relies on fan voting to rank the top DJs in the world, which predictably has main stage heavyweights like Hardwell, Tiesto, Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix and others top the list. In a very different twist of events, Resident Advisor, a standard for underground dance music, has its own opinion on which the top DJs in the world are. German Steffan Berkhahn, label owner of Berlin based Innervisions Recordings and professionally known as Dixon, topped the poll for a second straight year, while others like Seth Troxler, Richie Hawtin, Tale Of Us and others trailed not far behind.
