He took to Instagram to share a video of Tiësto debuting their brand new song live. From the sound of it, fans can expect a house-pop hybrid in the same vein as the DJ’s last high-profile collab, “Don’t Be Shy” with reggaetón superstar Karol G. Check out the clip o...

How Singapore’s Zouk Group Is Parlaying Decades of Success In Las Vegas—And Changing the Fabric of Sin City
Zouk Group has only just begun to reap the rewards of its labor from seeds planted decades ago. With the industry relationships and wealth of experience needed to facilitate their mission of international expansion, the brand is a global household name in waiting. But until recently, most Western audiences have never heard of it. Originally rooted in Singapore, Zouk is now amplifying its illustrious portfolio in the U.S. for the first time, testing the waters in none other than Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world. Zouk’s arrival, part of Sin City’s new $4.3 billion Resorts World complex, became a highly publicized endeavor overnight due to its affiliation with the first major development on the Las Vegas strip in over a decade. Zouk Group’s R...
Tiësto Fan Gets One Last Dance After Ashes Blasted From Confetti Cannon at Creamfields
“I did not expect ‘we blew him out of a cannon,'” said Laura Mitchell, who sent a handful of her brother’s ashes to Creamfields last weekend to be scattered around the festival grounds. When organizers got wind of the memorial, they facilitated an even bigger tribute to the late Stuart Mitchell’s life: His ashes were fired out of a confetti cannon during Tiësto‘s headlining set. Stuart Mitchell was an avid Tiësto fan and his song, “Adagio for Strings,” even played at his funeral. According to BBC, it was all made possible by cousins Ryan and Liam Millen, who bought the late 30-year-old’s Creamfields tickets from his surviving family. Stuart, an avid Tiësto fan, passed away in July. Described by his sister...
How It All Started: Dance Music’s Most Influential Labels Reflect On Their First-Ever Release
Dance music wasn’t always this popular. In fact, the sights and sounds we now associate with the genre were once considered taboo. They were the emblems of a counterculture forced to blossom not out in the open, but in the safe confines of arcane nightclubs and warehouse raves. So how did electronic music break through the glass ceiling? Before the songs of Above & Beyond, Roger Sanchez, Armin van Buuren, and other legendary producers rattled the world’s biggest festival stages, they were auditory ugly ducklings on a quest to reach their full potential. The music always had the potential to fly, but without the help of the gutsy independent record labels willing to back it, its wings would forever remain clipped. And after all these years, those indies have proven...

Tiësto and Karol G Team Up for Easygoing Summer Anthem, “Don’t Be Shy”
“Is it love or lust?” Karol G questions on her new track with EDM powerhouse producer Tiësto. While the new single, “Don’t Be Shy,” doesn’t seem to find a solution to this age-old dilemma, it does manage to find a tantalizing middle ground between the distinctive flavors of its collaborators.

It’s also Karol G’s first time singing in English. The ...
Listen to a Preview of Tiësto’s Single With Reggaeton Superstar Karol G, “Don’t Be Shy”
Tiësto has announced his next high-profile collaborator, and it’s one of the most streamed artists on the planet.

However, they’ve gone the slap house route here, opting for a sound in the vein of Imanbek and Topic. The rise of...
Tiësto Returns as VER:WEST With Dreamy Single “Elements Of A New Life”
A year after releasing the first single from Tiësto‘s VER:WEST side project, the dance music legend has returned with a fresh track on his Musical Freedom imprint. “Elements Of A New Life” reinforces the techno-focused sound Tiësto promised when debuting VER:WEST. Embracing a more melancholic feel, the tune plays into subtleties while simultaneously showing off his undeniable talents as a producer. The hypnotic bassline fuses effortlessly with fluttery sonic elements, showcasing a nuanced arrangement. Though VER:WEST is still a fresh name for most, Tiësto has done plenty to leave his mark under the alias in a short amount of time. Last year, he released the projcetc’s debut single “5 Seconds Before Sunrise” just days before his momen...
#FreeBritney: Dance Music Artists Weigh In On Britney Spears Conservatorship Battle
After the latest setback in Britney Spears‘ explosive conservatorship battle, the #FreeBritney movement has mutated into a full-blown crusade. With legions of supporters that seem to be growing by the second, the movement is unafraid of locking horns with a justice system they deem to be wicked. Their fervent support of Spears has remained resolute as she remains ensnared in a 13-year legal arrangement that has given her father, Jamie Spears, complete control of her life. In a 20-minute statement provided by Spears in late June to a probate judge in Los Angeles, the pop icon harangued the conservatorship, saying she wants to sue her family after being “abused” by a therapist, among other shocking allegations. Despite her pleas for help, the court ultimately denied her req...
