Concluding the first series of Tiësto‘s In The Booth, Episode 10 travels to Los Angeles for the biggest U.S. DJ gig in history. 26,000 fans visited the Home Depot Center to watch Tiësto to play, which is very very impressive. Overall I think the series was very insightful and useful for providing fans/other artists a glimpse into how much work, travel, and fun goes into the job as one of the biggest DJs ever. Looking forward to see where they take the next installment of the series.
The College Invasion Tour episode! Taking place last fall, Tiësto and Porter Robinson toured University campuses mainly on both the east and west coast, and saw a huge positive response. This episode helps to highlight just how integrated electronic dance music is with today’s youth. Two points the video made that are completely relavent is first that Electronic Music has been mainstream around the world for some time now, and America is finally catching up! The second statement was that news, television, and radio in the US have all done a poor job of responding to and reporting this huge movement. Tiësto says that the scene movement is still technically underground, and I would agree but it certainly is making a break for pushing out- and very soon I might add! Cheers to electronic music and PLUR! <3

It’s all about The Big Apple. Tiësto is back in New York with footage from shows during the fashion week & Electric Zoo, as well as footage from him setting up a clothing company. Check it. Cheers

Get closer than ever before and feel the vibe and the energy of the UMF experience.
I honestly can’t imagine what it would be like to see a festival like Ultra Music Festival in theaters, but I can only believe that it would be the next best thing to actually being there. This is not your Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber in concert type movie! This is Ultra Music Festival coming straight to you at your movie theater for one night and one night only! It is taking electronic dance music to the next level. Now is the time for dance music! The fact of the matter is UMF is the world’s premiere electronic music festival. The Olympics for electronic dance music (EDM)! It is so rare to have an event like this where all the best DJs and producers in the WORLD come together and play. This is the festival where every electronic dance music lover’s dreams come true, and now they are bringing the magic to you!
IN SELECT THEATRES MARCH 22 Across the United States for ONLY ONE NIGHT. http://www.fathomevents.com
Here is what the producers are saying:
CAN U FEEL IT is the experience of UMF on the big screen. It’s a feature length film about a new generation seen through the eyes of the world’s greatest DJ’s. Tiësto, David Guetta, Carl Cox, Afrojack, Fedde le Grand, Boys Noize will be the headlining superstars that will take you on an electrifying journey through UMF and the world of dance music. **Also featuring: Armin van Buuren, Avicii, Steve Aoki, Laidback Luke and Will.i.am.
The film makes you feel like you are on the dance floor and in the DJ booth at the same time and has the pace and feel of a music video mixed with in-depth storylines on the artists, the event and especially the rise of dance music around the world.

Canada eh? Well that’s exactly where Tiësto is headed in his latest episode of In The Booth. This episode features Hardwell, who was on tour with him through the beautiful northern country. This episode showcases Tiësto’s love for the country as he expresses interest in settling down up there someday. Check it. Cheers

From the Czech Republic, to Romania, to Turkey Episode 6 continues to document the wild, sleepless, and travelling life of Tiësto. Check it!
-Kevin
I don’t have much to say, if you’re following this series here is Episode 5 taking place in Mexico and EDC Las Vegas!
-Kevin
The fantastic series continues to deliver. I know big artists travel the world and have hectic schedules but playing in 2 continents in one day is insane. Tip of the hat to you Mr. Tiësto.

Oh my god what is this amazing piece of GOLD!? How epic! Damien Marley and Skrillex combined!? Yes please!
From Skillex Live @ Surrender Las Vegas 1/21/12 WHOMP WHOMP WHOMPing Wednesdayyyy

Did you know Tiësto basically keeps all his personal possessions in 2 suitcases? Neither did I, and I found that really astonishing in this third episode of the series. Featuring a closer look at his roots in Holland, influences, and rise keeps the series pleasantly surprising!

I’ve been restraining myself from uploading this video for 2 weeks now and… JUSTCAN’TWAITANYMOREOK?! First time I heard it in Gareth Emery’s Trance Around The World 400 set (a must download) I instantly fell in love. It’s a perfect combination of stunningly beautiful vocals and construction of trance. The track drops February 13 so I’ll re-post then, but until then, fall in love with listening to it in this official video.

Just as quickly as Episode 1 arrived, out comes Episode 2! This episode delves into shows played in Las Vegas over the summer, and illustrates the man we hold in such high regards is really just as human as we are. Tiësto expresses he still has nerve and anxiety before each show, as well as feeling more comfortable playing at night. Very interesting. Check it yo.
-Kevin
Well that sure was quick! Here’s Tiësto‘s first episode documenting his shows and behind the scenes works! This intro episode portrays the high-energy, fast paced, and occasionally unpredictable lifestyle he lives on and off the set. The forthcoming episodes should slow down a bit and give us a better inside scoop of how he goes about doing what he does best. Without further adieu, I present Episode 1.

Tiësto has just released a teaser trailer of the up and coming YouTube exclusive video series titled In The Booth. Documenting his iconic style of music and griping performances, this series will surely be worth keeping up to date on. We’ll post again when the first episode of the 10 part series is released.

Okay sooo I know I’m looking forward to Rusko’s upcoming U.S. college tour this February! BUT To satisfy my Rusko needs until then, he is graciously has decided that he will be releasing singles over the coming weeks from his upcoming full length album titles Songs (due to release March 27th)! The first of these is “Somebody To Love.” A wonderful grime tune with an interesting and entertaining music video. Check it out, but don’t be fooled by the playful and melodic beginning because the bass and wobble that is to come might melt your face off.

I can definitely say I feel like I may have saved the best for last. Produced by Mark Ronson, “A La Modeliste” is the Jazz track for RE:GENERATION featuring Erykah Badu, Trombone Shorty, Mos Def, Zigaboo Modeliste, and Members of The Dap Kings. I have always loved jazz music, and growing up in the South I have becoming particularly fond of the jazz that comes out of New Orleans. I also love the multi-talented Mark Ronson. His talents as a DJ, Guitarist, Music Producer, and artist all shine in this track and he helps New Orleans Jazz music shine in an extremely brilliant and innovative way. A great track from the RE:Generation project that makes me hope they continue the project in the future with more artists and genres.
I have nothing but respect for all of these musicians that participated in the RE:Generation project. The work they have done is inspiring and I hope it influences other musicians to take part as well. The goal of the project was to challenge these artists to discover how our musical past is influencing the future, and so I tip my hat to the RE:Generation Music Project. Job well done and mission accomplished.

DJ Premier doesn’t disappoint in his RE:Generation mix. Faced with the daunting task of bridging classical music with his unique and unparalleled ability for producing massive hip-hop instrumentals and albums. Not an easy task at all. Calling upon Nas and the Berklee Symphony Orchestra for assistance he helps to create a way truly appreciate the influence and greatness of classical music for those who don’t have the greatest interest in it. Its amazing what DJ Premier can do.

So I think we can all say that the idea of combining electronic dance music with country music is not a concept that crosses our mind too often. This video may change all of that. When I first heard that Pretty Lights would be working to discover the country music genre and have to find a way to combine it with his style of music, I was expecting a train wreck. Instead my jaw dropped as Pretty Lights‘ new Country track for RE:GENERATION featuring LeAnn Rimes and Dr. Ralph Stanley is honestly the most creative, inventive, and visionary way to flawlessly combine two seemingly unrelated genres of music.

Another killer mix from this regeneration project. The Crystal Method works with Martha Reeves and The Funk Brothers to show how R&B can influence a style of music that at times can appear to have nothing in common with it. I love the funk and R&B that comes out of this mix, and I can’t help but praise The Crystal Method for this ingeniously cutting edge mix.
While all of the tracks of the RE:Generation project are available to listen to on HyundaiUSA’s Youtube account, the official music video for Skrillex & The Doors’ Breakin a Sweat is up and it is killer. The song truly is an innovative take on Skrillex’s style fused with the Rock n’ Roll reputation of The Doors. This really shines a light on what the RE:generation project is trying to accomplish. Truly incredible and unique innovation from Skrillex. I hope to see more stuff like this from him. Give the other RE:Generation project mixes a listen as well. They are all one of a kind.
Don’t worry! The next posts will all be dedicated to more regeneration mixes!
