Tiësto to headline the fourth annual Sound Wave Block Party!

Disco Donnie Presents and Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations are excited to announce that Tiësto will be the headliner for the fourth installment of Sound Wave Block Party on September 21st. Get ready to get maximal crazy on Indian Plaza Road and inside Māyā Day and Nightclub and W Scottsdale WET Deck.

Early on in his career, Tiësto was quoted as saying all he wanted to do was, ‘share his music with others.’ Obviously, he has done that and then some, but even after nearly 20 years since his first release, and having received almost every single dance music award there is, he’s still going on strong. He was the first DJ to play a solo stadium concert, he set the world record for biggest audience ever played to by a DJ, and lest we forget he DJed the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Tiësto’s talents and accomplishments helped shape dance music as we see it today. It is clear to see why he has been called one of the greatest DJ’s to go behind a set of turntables.

And you’ll get to see the legend behind the decks when he headlines this year’s Sound Wave. Tickets are on sale now, so buy yours today!

Tiësto to headline Something Wicked in Houston!

Disco Donnie Presents and NightCulture are excited to announce that pioneering producing DJ, Tiësto, will be making his way down to Houston, Texas for the return of the city’s first-ever Halloween dance music festival, Something Wicked. Taking place on Saturday, October 26th, prepare to be frighteningly amazed by our freakish production and special effects.

Whether he’s performing to 250,000 fans on the shores of Ipanema or maybe to the millions of adoring clubbers in all corners of the world, there is no denying the grave impact Tiësto has had on the dance music industry. The man has transcended musical genres to create his own global brand. Many don’t know that some of his first productions were in the hardcore/gabber categories. As his sound progressed, he then dominated the trance genre. Now, you can find him sporting big room anthems, trap, and house music in his eclectic sets and podcast.

Musically, Tiësto has been experimenting more than ever before. “You would be surprised to hear what is on my personal playlist. I like all kinds of music and as I continue to develop as an artist I do not feel I should be confined to any one sound or expected genre. I draw influences from various sources whether it be movies, the people I meet, and of course all the amazing places I have been lucky enough to visit. This is definitely one of the best things about being a DJ.”

Tiësto’s achievements in music extend past the genres themselves though. He’s a Grammy nominee, winner of numerous MTV awards, performer at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, has a street named after him in Las Vegas called “Tiësto Way,” January 1st in Vegas is now officially known as “Tiësto Day,” and the veteran even has a wax statue at Madame Tussauds.

Voted ‘The Greatest DJ Of All Time’ in a Mixmag poll a few years ago, get ready for a sinful treat as Tiësto makes his way to Houston for Something Wicked. Tickets are on sale now, so buy yours today!

Isla Del Sol Fest Drop: Major Lazer releases Lazergram App; Quintino uploads Tomorrowland Aftermovie

Isla Del Sol Fest is an island getaway coming to Clayton’s Beach Resort this Labor Day Weekend, August 31 and September 1st. Recently, two of our Isla talents have been making their getaways a lot more accessible. Buy your tickets now to score the best deal!

Major Lazer Pons de Lazergram

Just when you thought the artist-inspired apps couldn’t get any more entertaining. Just this past week, Major Lazer released an Android version of their Lazergram App, previously only available on iOS.

The fun Jamaican-influenced app has the ability to take pictures, turn them into “original Major Lazer art works” and even create a direct link to then share it with your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram accounts. You can even send an MMS within the app too, although that technology seems dated these days. Best part? The app is completely free (with the exception of some sticker upgrades). Hashtag your photos with #Lazergram for the chance to get a shoutout from the Diplo crew.

Quintino uploads his own 2013 Tomorrowland Aftermovie

Just this past weekend, the world celebrated the ninth annual Tomorrowland Festival taking place in the now legendary fields of Boom, Belgium. Isla Del Sol talent Quintino threw down at the Jacked Stage on July 26th to crowds of dance fans from around the world in the thousands.

Yesterday, Quintino uploaded an aftermovie of his set at the world-renowned event. Featuring “Puzzle,” his new single Blasterjaxx and his remix of Example’s “All The Wrong Places,” the aftermovie is a great snapshot of the event, the music, and the artist. Get a glimpse of what you might expect when Quintino takes the stage at Isla Del Sol Fest coming to Clayton’s Beach Resort August 31st and September 1st. Buy your tickets today!

Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: Flosstradamus

The boys of Flosstradamus are certainly no newcomers to dance music. Comprising of Josh Young and Curt Cameruci, the duo have become synonymous for their eclectic mix of pretty much any genre to get the party started. Having performed at some of the biggest festivals and college campuses in the world and even making an appearance on Nick Jr.’s Yo Gabba Gabba, Flosstradamus knows how to bring any crowd together with their unique sound.

The Floss story started quite some time ago. Young recants, “I was living in an apartment with a bunch of dudes and one of the guys worked at Whole Foods with Curt knew I was trying to start a little duo. He said I should meet his friend, who had a similar style to me. He introduced us, and we knew immediately. We were like, ‘Oh, wow, this is really going to work.'” Using their combined brainpower, the two began to brainstorm on a name, “We were just drinking one night and randomly throwing out names. It wasn’t even us that came up with it, it was a friend of ours. We were like, ‘Next subject!’ We knew straight away that was going to be our name. It’s funny, because everyone thinks it’s got to be this incredible story. We’re just like, “Yeah, because we can predict the future.”

Donning stage names Autobot (Curt Cameruci) and J2K (Josh Young), the boys first popped up on Chicago’s music radar in 2005, when the duo formed and hosted the “Get Outta’ the Hood” parties at local joint, Town Hall Pub. The event was a wildly successful, no-frills affair where the night would always end up in a massive dance party. Thanks to an increasingly supportive music scene, Flosstradamus have since gotten out of the hood. When MTV2 featured Josh’s sister, accurately named Kid Sister, on its My Block Chicago episode, the then rising hip-hop star landed Flosstradamus some airtime as well helping build some Floss buzz that scored the boys blurbs in publications like URB Magazine and Rolling Stone. In 2006, the duo hit the club circuit hard and hasn’t looked back since. Now having an at-length list of accolades, releases, and milestones, Flosstradamus are easily one of the most popular acts in dance music right now.

Putting a Floss spin on all of your favorites and delivering a crazy amount of energy to every set, Flosstradamus are going to tear up Sun City Music Festival, happening August 31st and September 1st. Buy your tickets today!

Isla Del Sol Fest Artist Profile: Quintino

We’re counting down the days until Quintino takes the stage for Isla Del Sol Fest this coming this Labor Day weekend August 31st and September 1st. Secure your spot on the dancefloor with an island breeze on the island buy your tickets today! Tickets are available online and at Hermes Music Stores in McAllen and Brownsville.

Having grown up in a musical family in Den Helder, Netherlands, Quintino, born Quinten van den Berg, was blessed to have had a broad musical influence from the outset. There was never a limit to certain genres – the ability to listen and learn from the widest array of styles and artists was infinite. So when it came time to figure out what he wanted to do for a career, the choice was easy. Quintino began DJing in his father’s club when he was only 15. Working as a DJ on the weekends while completing his schooling, Quintino balanced this for year, as he was hooked to the profession.

During a gig when he was 18, house heavyweight Laidback Luke took note and was very impressed by Quintino’s ability behind the decks. So much so, that Laidback Luke decided to take the budding artist under his wing. Quintino quit his day job in sales to fully concentrate on music production. With help from his mentor Laidback Luke, Quintino went on to release early successful hits like “Girls,” “Booker” and “Supersonic.” Though the releases garnered some attention from many in the industry, it wouldn’t be until he remixed Cidinho & Doca’s track “Rap Das Armas” in 2009 that Quintino would begin his ascent to international success. The song, though originally a bootleg, was later released on Spinnin Records reaching the #1 spot on the Dutch charts. Soon after that release, Quintino went on to produce another banger titled “Heaven,” a collaboration with Mitch Crown. The Track was deemed a “Dance Smash” on the popular station Radio 538 and later climbed the Dutch Top 40 charts.

Currently, Quintino’s tour diary that reads like a departures board at an airport, playing shows in Spain, the Netherlands, and across America. We are excited to have Quintino join us at the second annual Isla Del Sol Fest at the newly renovated Clayton’s Resort on South Padre Island. Buy your tickets today!
