LNY TNZ at Lizard Lounge
LNY TNZ
They ‘don’t give a f*ck about tomorrow’ or the boundaries of the EDM genre.
Teaming up in their hometown, Vlaardingen, in 2004, Mitchell Vreeswijk and Jan Stadhouders formed LNY TNZ with the shared passion of putting a new twist on hard hitting EDM. The group rapidly made a name for themselves, as they released underground tracks that evolved the genre into something entirely in and of its own.
They quickly became pioneers in Dutch music as a DJ tandem, known for their unique sound. Support from other leading artists came pouring in as LNY TNZ tracks appeared on numerous compilation CDs and received radio play worldwide. After mixing their second official compilation CD in 2007, LNY TNZ toured at major festivals and events around the globe, emerging as a leader in the scene.
Following a string of tours, Mitchell and Jan took a break to study, travel, and work on other art forms, including film directing. In 2012, they came up with a new round of music. LNY TNZ recorded several underground bootlegs and released them online to the support of their fans and major artists, who welcomed the duo back from hiatus.
In 2013, Yellow Claw and LNY TNZ presented their single ‘Last Night Ever’ from the forthcoming collaboration EP ‘All Your Bass.’ The hit was released by Sony BMG, along with a popular video that takes place over a full tilt night in Tokyo.
LNY TNZ are now here to stay, currently working on more major collaborations and putting out new music that will continue to push and the boundaries of their unique combination of hardstyle, trap, and EDM.

We're Rockin' in Rio with Metallica, Foster the People, and Deftones during Rock in Rio this May
Taking place over two weekends on May 8-9th and May 15-16th, Rock in Rio is making its American debut in the party capital of Las Vegas. The ultimate party will have six stages and three themed Rock Streets spread over a whopping 37 acres. Each stage has been expertly curated with some of the biggest names in the music industry, no matter their genre. No Doubt, Metallica, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars will each headline a night of their own and don’t you fret fellow dance music fans – we get spoiled in Rio with our own EDM stage featuring a collection of tastemakers, producers, and DJs known around the world and in the region.
Musicians fuse a multitude of influences and sub-genres in their songs and this Rock in Rio lineup is no different. Despite dubbing May 8-9th as the Rock Weekend and May 15-16th as the Pop Weekend, Rock in Rio is way more then just a rock and pop concert; in the same vein, the music isn’t just one broad genre either. So to celebrate the diversity of the lineup, we will be highlighting a few artists from the loosely defined “rock, pop, and dance” categories in a new blog series called Rockin,’ Poppin,’ and Dancin’ in Rio.
Explore the many styles and sounds of Rock in Rio before you join the party this May. Weekend and single-day passes are on-sale now!
Rockin’ in Rio
Rooted in R&B, country, and jazz, Rock, or Rock n’ Roll as it were, is now one of the main anchors for identifying music styles. Though it originated in the United States back in the 1950s, its widespread acceptance internationally has helped spawn over 30 different sub genres.
From Alt rock to Brit rock; Punk, Grunge, or Metal – our lineup has a lot of rock-infused names on the bill. Here are three artists who will be Rockin’ in Rio
Metallica
Metallica is undeniably one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands of all time. Formed in 1981, their 30+ year history helped shaped metal, rightfully earning nine Grammy Awards and a spot on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Watch Metallica headline Rock in Rio on Saturday, May 9th.

Foster the People
Floating between rock’s shoe gaze wave and psychedelic haze, Foster The People have been pumping up kicking tunes since 2010. Their washed out sound is as catchy as it is well-crafted, releasing a sonic mixture of atmospheres you can get lost and/or rock out to. Catch Foster the People at Rock in Rio on Friday, May 8th.

Deftones
Deftones are known for their unique panorama of sound that layers soft, ambient waves over pummeling sludge-metal. With a penchant for songs with gradual builds, layered guitar distortion, and ascending melodies, Deftones bring a unique rock fusion to Rock in Rio on Saturday, May 9th.

Disco Donnie Presents and Deorro are Taking the Panda Funk Fam on Tour
With his “Never stop working” credo, Deorro has been blessing audiences with new music for over five years now. Rooted in Southern California, Deorro and his Panda Funk label family are getting ready to hit the road and showcase their latest tunes.
No matter what pseudonym he’s performing under, Deorro knows exactly how to keep bodies moving on the dance floor with originals like “Disco Donnie,” and “Goodbye” with Zoofunktion and Adrian Delgado or with remixes like his edit of Axwell and Sick Individuals’ “I AM.” Dubbing his unique style of electro house “Panda Funk,” his label, also sporting the PandaFunk name, aims to showcase his signature sounds and help other upcoming artists hone their own sound.
Over the past year, Deorro, has slowed his personal project to concentrate on building the Panda Funk dynasty. With a good chunk of recent releases, the label boss has done just that with each member of the progressive Panda collective honing their own individual style of party music.
Armed with a bevy of new talent, the #PandaFam is ready to hit the road. Joined by Dirty Audio, ZooFunktion, and iE-z, the Panda Funk clan and head honcho Deorro are prepared to deliver a high-octane fusion of Dutch, electro, and bass to cities all across the country.
