Cover: Tiësto – Club Life Volume II: Miami (2012)

 

Washington DC – The artwork for Tiësto’s new mix album Club Life – Volume Two Miami out on Musical Freedom has been revealed. International superstar DJ and producer Tiësto announces the April 24th release of his new mix album, CLUB LIFE – Volume Two Miami, via his own record label, Musical Freedom. The second installment in Tiësto’s exciting CLUB LIFE series is inspired by Miami – one of the world’s premiere dance music cities.

Tiësto explains, “I picked Miami because it’s one of my favorite cities in the world. There’s so much to do, the club life there is amazing, it’s a very glamorous city. I play in Miami a couple times a year and that’s where I got my inspiration from on this album.”

CLUB LIFE – Volume Two offers unique access to Tiësto’s Miami, a city renowned for its world class night life, beautiful party goers and everlasting summers. Tiësto crafts the CLUB LIFE experience masterfully, using his own exclusive original productions and remixes as the driving force behind the album. Exclusive songs, written by Tiësto specifically with the Miami club culture in mind, include the enormous Wolfgang Gartner collaboration “We Own The Night,” the aptly titled “Chasing Summers,” and a high energy team up with Russian trio Swanky Tunes on “Make Some Noise.”

“I wanted to create songs that give fans the opportunity to experience the sound of Miami clubs, whether they’ve been there or not,” Tiësto says.

Showcasing his pre-eminent remixing abilities, Tiësto has created a handful of remixes for Volume Two. Coldplay’s “Paradise” gets a shot of patented Tiësto adrenaline; Gotye’s international chart topper, “Somebody That I Used To Know,” is reimagined as a late night party starter; and lastly The Naked & Famous’ indie anthem “Young Blood” gets tag teamed by Tiësto and young Dutch star Hardwell.

Commenting on his remix work Tiësto says, “With the remixes on this album, I took a handful of songs I love and created remixes filtered through the CLUB LIFE sound. I’m really proud of how they’ve turned out and am excited for people to experience them.”

Rounding out the mix, Tiësto calls on his fellow DJs and producers, sprinkling in personal favorties from his Musical Freedom label as well as exclusives: Baggi Begovic’s ”If A Lie Was Love”, Sultan + Ned Shepard’s emotive “Walls” and Avesta’s festival anthem “Arena” all inject a perfect dose of contrast and balance as only Tiësto could.

Tiësto’s official online store is selling exclusive CLUB LIFE – Volume 2 Miami merchandise bundles, including signed copies of the album, t-shirts, posters and more.

Tiësto will be supporting the album throughout 2012, starting with his March 23rd headlining performance at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami and continuing with more than 100 dates on the CLUB LIFE WORLD TOUR.

Hardwell & Dannic – Kontiki (Official Teaser)

Washington DC – Hardwell is back with a mind blowing teaser video and once again this is some next level stuff! The Teaser starts off with a Epilepsy Warning and we can understand why! This video will trigger people for sure, ‘jumping’ rather than ‘seizing’ we think though. The footage was shot at last weekend’s Energy 2012 event and we can see why it’s called Energy!

Hardwell & Dannic — Kontiki will be the next outlet by label boss Hardwell, joined by upcoming Dutch producer/dj Dannic known for his previous release ‘Doster’ on Revealed Recordings. Kontiki has bigroom written all over it, starting off with some energetic stabs and a bigroom lead theme and some heavy basslines. Add the special Hardwell touch with heavy snare drums and climaxes to this and it clear this is one tough banger!

Out Soon on Revealed Recordings

@DJAfrojack & @Shakira Work On A New Song

 

Washington DC – Afrojack, who is currently working on his still untitled album, is currently in Barcelona, Spain but, not without company. The young DJ & Producer of the hit “Give Me Everything (Ft. Pitbull & Ne-Yo)” Nick Van de Wall is in the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona with internationally renowned singer, Shakira. The two are currently working on a song together, which is yet to be titled. The collaboration between these two is speculated to form part of Afrojack’s upcoming album that will include the participation of other artists like Omarion, which is the only guest fully confirmed by Afrojack as of now. The song with Shakira, if it is part of his upcoming production, will be a dance track as he announced in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that the album will contain strictly dance type songs as he doesn’t see Pop tracks being featured on an album under his sole production.

Afrojack has also been recording with other artists like LMFAO, Flo Rida and Natasha Bedingfield in Los Angeles, California for his album, still no word on the release dates of those tracks or if they will make the track list on his album if not then they will be released as singles. Keep it tuned here for more information as it is recieved.
