Tiësto to Elon Musk: “Shall We Put a Drive-In Party Together for Everyone Who Drives a Tesla?”
Earlier in the month of July, eccentric tech billionaire Elon Musk unveiled 3D renderings of his new Giga Factory in Berlin, Germany. Musk, who has also dipped his toes in electronic music production via a house track called “Don’t Doubt Ur Vibe,” wrote at the time that the rooftop may double as a “rave space,” adding, “Might be an indoor/outdoor rave space on the roof,” in a tweet. After another typically incendiary tweet from the Tesla boss today, June 30th, in which he wrote that he “sure could use a good rave,” legendary DJ and producer Tiësto jumped in with his own solution. “Shall we put a drive-in party together for everyone who drives a Tesla ?” he posed. Considering the horsepower and means behin...

Tiësto Shares Cryptic Preview of New Music from Potential Alias
Tiësto took to Facebook today to share a cryptic teaser of new music from an unheralded artist named VERWEST. Since the legendary DJ and producer’s real name is Tijs Michiel Verwest, it’s likely that he has just launched a new side project. A new Facebook page under the VERWEST name was also created and the same teaser was shared as its introductory post. If the music is any indication, he is turning back the clock to his earlier days of deep house and trance, as the track featured in the clip is a hypnotic number reminiscent of the Tiësto of old. As of the time of writing, Tiësto has not divulged any further information about VERWEST, including a release date for the song in the teaser or whether or not any other artists are involved in the project.

10 EDM Songs from Jersey Shore That Will Have You Yelling “Cabs Are Here!”
Ready for a blast from the past? Think back to the simpler times of 2009, when your only worry was whether or not you were going to miss the new Jersey Shore episode. Jersey Shore was one of those guilty pleasure programs you couldn’t peel your eyes away from. Filled to the brim with drama, debauchery, and, of course, fist-pumping, it’s no wonder the absurdly entertaining show lasted for six seasons and received multiple spin-offs. Every year we couldn’t wait to see Snooki, Pauly D, Vinnie, J-Wow, Sammy, Ronnie, and of course Mike “The Situation” head back to the sun and booze-soaked boardwalk of the Jersey Shore. One thing you might have missed in between Snooki getting arrested or Sammy screaming at Ron for making fun of her big toe is that the show was...
