Tiësto Reveals That Kanye West Wanted to Collaborate on “Fade”
Tiësto and Kanye West almost collaborated on “Fade.” Let that sink in for a moment. In a new interview with GQ, the dance music legend waxed poetic about a number of topics, like his taste in memes, the Ableton-themed design of his new home, and the likelihood of house music’s survival if clubs were to permanently shut down due to COVID-19. It was his revelation about the polarizing hip-hop legend West, however, that served as a needle in a haystack. When asked if he had ever been starstruck by anyone he’d met, Tiësto dropped Kanye’s name. “One time he had just done an award show in Vegas and after we went to his dressing room. He sat down and he played some new tracks. He played me the whole [Life of] Pablo album, from start to finish,...
Look Inside Tiësto’s Socially Distanced Red Rocks Amphitheatre Concert
Tiësto touched down in Colorado on Thursday, September 24th for an intimate concert at the fabled Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Performing for a socially distanced audience with a limited capacity of 175, he threw down a huge set for a tiny crowd. The Gazzette‘s Chancey Bush was on hand to document the one-of-a-kind dance music event, which looks like a dystopian EDM show plucked out of an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Watch Viral Comedian Casey Frey as a Dancing Zombie in Tiësto’s “The Business” Music Video
As the literal nightmare that is 2020 trudges forward to the frigid winter months, we’re about a month away from Halloween. With the holiday looming, the ageless Tiësto has dropped off an early Halloween treat in the form of an eerie music video for his new single, “The Business,” which also serves as his highly anticipated Atlantic Records debut. The dance music legend tapped viral comedian Casey Frey to star in the video, which was directed by Christian Breslauer and also features blossoming dancer Kyla Bullings. Frey’s impressively madcap performance as a reincarnated zombie cannot be understated. He gyrates around as a sinister humanoid ghoul, doubling as a creepy contortionist who wreaks havoc in a spooky hospital hall, a diner, an...
Red Rocks Amphitheatre Announces Limited Capacity Concert with Tiësto

Iconic Colorado open air venue Red Rocks, renowned for its natural acoustics and one-of-a-kind amphitheatre tucked inside a rock structure 6,000-plus feet above sea level, was one of myriad concert halls to shutter due to the impact of COVID-19.

Tiësto Teases He’s “Getting Ready for Something Big”
Tiësto took to Twitter today to announce that he’s preparing for “something big.” The cryptic reveal came in the form of a 16-second video with waning vocals, ending with the line “let’s get down to business.” Naturally, fans have begun to speculate what’s on the way from the Dutch dance music legend considering the extremely arcane nature of the teaser. Last week, Tiësto shared another mysterious video with the caption “čømīñg šööñ.” This one shows him entering a vehicle before the same “let’s get down to business” line from the new video is played. At the end of the clip, viewers can see what appears to be distorted text. If you pause the video towards the end, you can see what appears to be the words “the...

Tiësto and Vintage Culture’s New Single “Coffee” Is an Instant Energizer
Tiësto and Vintage Culture have just the “pick me up” needed to cruise through late weekend nights with their brand new collaboration “Coffee (Give Me Something).” The new single is fueled by pitched down vocal hooks and bubbling melodies capable of commanding a club dance floor. As the track builds, the vocal hook repeats in an earnest request to “keep me up like coffee” as the song breaks out into a stimulating sequence like a metaphorical “shot in the arm.” It’s the type of offering to bring listeners to their feet as an entrancing set of descending melodic riffs provide the perfect gateway to getting lost in the moment entirely. Falling in a similar creative vein to his recent singles “God Is a Dancer” and R...

In a recent interview with Complex Canada, Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-André Fleury admitted that he blasts EDM before games to get pumped up before taking the ice. “I’m not too picky about my music, but usually going into the game I like something with some beats. I don’t know, more EDM maybe,” Fleury said. “I like Calvin Harris, Tiësto, stuff like that.” In the midst of the rekindled 2020 hockey season, which had been stifled due to the impact of COVID-19, Fleury recently tied the NHL record with his staggering 14th consecutive postseason appearance.
