EC TWINS @ Dayclub
EC Twins
are as busy as ever, having recently recorded a new remix of Paul
Oakenfold’s “Resurrection” for Perfecto Records and Armada, and planning
to release “Disco’s Cure,” a tribute to the late disco legend Nick
Ashford. Among their newest projects is their hugely successful remix
with Remy Le Duc of “Someone Like Me,” from songstress Adele, as well as
a remix of “Champagne Showers” by fellow Marquee residents LMFAO, both
of which can be listened to on Soundcloud.
Their newest original tracks include “I Wanted (Original Mix)” and
“PACMAN,” which they showcase regularly with their regular, high-energy
shows at Marquee Las Vegas, this time spinning poolside, kicking off
Columbus Day Weekend.

DASH BERLIN + HARDWELL + EDX + BLAKE JARRELL @ Nightclub
Hailing from the Hague, Netherlands, collaborative effort Dash Berlin,
comprised of Eelke Kalberg, Seabstiaan Molijn and Jeffrey Sutorius,
have had nothing but excited support and encouragement, from both fans
and the likes of Armin van Buuren, since their beginnings in 2009 with
critically acclaimed debut album, “The New Daylight.” Following with
“United Destination” official mix albums on Armada in 2010 and 2011,
Dash Berlin has also worked with ATB on track “Apollo Road” and remixed
for Depeche Mode, First State featuring Sarah Howells and Morning
Parade, as well as created their own experimental/progressive/
Leading the newest generation of DJs at just 23 years old, Hardwell
has remixed Fedde Le Grand, Tiësto, Gareth Emery, Dada Life and DJ
Fresh ft. Sian Evans, to name a few. He recently followed up his highly
successful ‘Eclectic Beatz’ mix albums with the compilation series
‘Revealed,’ and released original tracks like “The World,” while
continuing his impressive live performances in London, Miami, Las Vegas,
and everywhere in between.
While audiences anxiously await the release of this Swiss-based Italian DJ’s debut album slated for the end of 2011, EDX
keeps club- and festival-goers around the world on their feet with his
huge remixes of everyone from Deadmau5 and Armin van Buuren to Laidback
Luke and Funkagenda, as well as his newly launched radio show, No
Xcuses, through SiriusXM. No stranger to the top of the Beatport charts,
this Mixmag-named “genius” wraps his summer residency in Ibiza
and returns to Marquee Las Vegas to play poolside at night with Blake
Jarrell.
Seemingly always on the go, jetsetting around the globe between Ibiza, Dubai, Singapore and Los Angeles, Armada’s Blake Jarrell returns with fresh tunes to excite audiences. He continues to host his monthly “Concentrate Podcast,”
featuring signature mix sets and the hottest special international
guests. Blake also recently released an original track called
“Maldives,” a huge summer anthem currently climbing the Beatport Top 10
Trance Chart with support from Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery, Above
& Beyond and more, as well as a remix by Genix.
Saturday, October 8
ARMIN VAN BUUREN + JOCHEN MILLER @ Dayclub
Set to be released September 30th, ‘Universal Religion Part 5’ is the newest installment of Armin van Buuren’s hugely popular summer series, this time recorded live during his new Be At Space
residency at Ibiza’s Space and featuring cover art created by Dutch
artist Joseph Kilbansky and featured in his ‘New Urban Wonderland’
exhibition. With unreleased tracks and remixes from BT, Paul Oakenfold
and Andy Moor, a new Gaia production, two new original remixes and Ferry
Corsten collaboration “Brute,” one can only imagine what Armin’s
performance at Marquee will entail. Preview a sample clip on YouTube.
With a recent acclaimed headlining performance at Electric Zoo Festival
and over 15 years of experience as both DJ and producer, and holding
the title of DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll’s number one spot four years
in a row, it’s no wonder his award-winning ‘A State of Trance’ radio
show, which boasts over 15 million listeners per week, has just
celebrated its 10 year anniversary and 500th episode, while his Armada music label is among the most respected in electronic music.
High Contrast Records’ Trance DJ Jochen Miller combines
progressive, electro and trance on the decks, whether performing live
or during his monthly radio show, ‘Stay Connected,’ started in 2010 and
available through his official Facebook page.
In the midst of a number of extensive tours throughout Europe, North
and South America and Australia, Miller treats audiences with innovative
mixes, most recently working with Markus Schulz on “Rotunda” and his
own releases, “Troucid” and “U And Eye.” His upcoming release,
"Flashback," is out this month -- it's a style-blending big room banger
and can be previewed on YouTube.
Saturday, October 8
ERICK MORILLO @ Nightclub
One look at his thrilling tour diary and there’s no doubt Subliminal Records DJ and producer Erick Morillo’s Subliminal Sessions
residency at Marquee will be the place to be Columbus Day Weekend.
Playing one packed festival and club after another this past summer,
Morillo is following his ‘Subliminal Invasion Mixed by Erick Morillo’
compilation, including 27 tracks and 5 exclusives featuring Green
Velvet, Armand Pena and hit track “Stronger” with Eddie Thoneick and

“Pa Ra Ra,” and remixing, “Fly Away” by In The Screen and “Lasers” by
Lights Out, with Romero as well as Jose Nunez.

Most
known for his breakaway hit and 2010 Grammy nominated co-remix (with

electro-house DJ Dirty South has continued through 2011 to
impress with tracks like “Alive (feat. Kate Elsworth)” with Thomas Gold,
the Deluxe DJ Edition of Strictly Dirty South with Mark Knight, Steve
Angello, Alesso and more, and contributions to ‘Avicii Presents:
Strictly Miami.’ He has most recently lent his remixing skills to Jeremy

new single, “Walking Alone,” is due out this month. Dirty South returns

talented people on there, people that I have looked up to for years. So,

Vegas is the new home of House & Electronic Music [NEWS]
6:34 PM
Admin
The city has remade itself time and time again. What started out as a dusty railroad stop became a gaming mecca where the biggest entertainers in Hollywood hung out. Las Vegas then bucked its Sin City image to promote a more family-friendly environment, followed by a reversal to its everything-goes mentality.
Then came the recession. In what some saw as the ending point of Las Vegas’ hard-partying, gambling-tomorrow’s-paycheck ways, others saw as a chance to remake the city once more.
Vegas’ latest iteration comes in the form of music. Electronic music has found a new home in Las Vegas, a designation once held by the international playground of Ibiza, Spain. The genre has invaded Las Vegas over the last year in a way unlike any other genre has ever hit the city. The seeds were planted three years ago and thanks to the right mix of vision and timing, house music now provides the anthem for the city, something once done exclusively by hip-hop.
“To me, I think it’s the new hip-hop of the ’80s,” said Jesse Waits, general manager at XS inside Encore. “In the ’80s, hip-hop took over the scene from rock music and I feel like electronic music and dance music is the new sound of music and the DJs are the new rock stars basically. If you look at the radio, there’s a lot of crossover stuff like the Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta with pretty much every artist, from Rihanna to Puff Daddy…everybody is doing electronic music right now.”
Electronic music has been commercialized to be sure, something that has taken hold of the radio waves over the last year or so. Vegas, though, was ahead of the curve. The Palms landed legendary DJ and music producer Paul Oakenfold in 2008 as a resident inside Rain Nightclub. The move to grab such a high-profile electronic DJ at the time wasn’t viewed on the same lines as say Jay-Z opening a nightclub here, but a few years later it’s proven to be the lasting move.
“The reason I felt that Vegas was the right place was because it reminded me (of)… Los Angeles, there’s a limit to what you can do (in L.A.),” said Oakenfold, who celebrated his third year in Vegas over Labor Day. “New York, there’s problems with whatever club you do. There’s problems with the locals because real estate’s worth a fortune and no one wants to move next to a club, and when they do end up moving next to a club, they end up complaining and that tends to be the trend. So I felt Vegas was perfect. You can be really creative; you come up with great ideas in terms of building out the venue, the decoration and also getting involved with new ideas.”
Oakenfold worked with Sol Shafer and Mike Fuller, both former executives with N9NE Group, to create Planet Perfecto, which still runs today. At that time, Oakenfold said, the electronic scene was almost nonexistent. Since then, and especially over the last year, the scene has exploded.
Vegas now has a roster of DJs who previously couldn’t be seen in the United States with such frequency. Tiësto, the world’s No. 1 DJ, holds a residency at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel; Guetta brought his weekly Ibiza party to Wet Republic at MGM Grand; Deadmau5 makes regular stops; Steve Aoki and Afrojack made homes at Surrender; Marquee became the first club to be built with the electronic DJ in mind and we’ve seen two electronic music festivals, the Electric Daisy Carnival and Identity, move to Vegas.
It’s an amazing turnaround for a city that was dominated by hip-hop music not too long ago.
“As in every music style there is a coming and going in popularity,” said ATB, a Germany-based DJ who holds a residency at Marquee Nightclub and Tao, in an e-mail. “… In my opinion hip-hop is very present in the USA for a long time. So after such a long time the people are searching for new sounds, feelings and emotions that dance music is currently representing. This is a great chance for electronic dance music.”
The folks at Tao Group, the people who run Tao and Lavo, thought so as well. The group seized the opportunity to build the only nightclub at the recently opened Cosmopolitan and differentiated it from anything else in town, including Tao (one of the most popular clubs in Vegas).
Marquee spans more than 62,000 square feet with three rooms, a pool deck, a 40-foot LED screen and an automated catwalk that, when combined with go-go dancers, provides for a show-like performance inside of a nightclub.
“I think there’s just been an ongoing insurgence of electronic music and people getting educated on the music and people coming to Vegas wanting more than just a DJ, they want a show,” said Jason Strauss, managing partner of Tao Group. “There’s plenty of shows all over the Strip and the success of Cirque du Soleil, Blue Man Group and so forth. People come to Vegas to be wowed and I think as the nightlife industry here has evolved, people are interested in a show and what these international electronic DJs can do is bring a show along with them. And with our 40-foot LED screen, a performance stage and costuming, we’re really delivering a show on top of the music.”
Marquee’s resident DJ lineup reads like an all-star roster of the world’s top mix masters: Roger Sanchez, ATB, Erick Morrillo, Kaskade and Redfoo of LMFAO, among others.
Shafer, one of the men that worked with Oakenfold in the beginning, is Marquee’s music director.
Oakenfold, who was among nearly 150 artists to spin at EDC (most of whom hold residencies here), said the high-profile residencies and EDC are just the beginning.
“I think the next thing we’ll start to see is genres instead of the generic house sound that everyone seems to be playing,” Oakenfold said. “We will have genres that come into the scene, so you may have your Monday night may be a techno night and the people that have just been getting into the scene will find that. And there’s certain DJs that play different kinds of sounds that haven’t come to Vegas yet and don’t have a foothold in Vegas. And I hope that will come into it because diversity, creativity are really good things to have. I think there will be more festivals and maybe kind of a conference, a big conference will come along, an electronic conference, and I think that’s the way forward.”
