Their “Future Friday” mix serves as a showcase for their pioneering sound, and it’s nonstop, high-energy all the way through. Guetta states that after a year of hard work, he and MORTEN finally found a niche that worked...

Ready for a blast from the past? Think back to the simpler times of 2009, when your only worry was whether or not you were going to miss the new Jersey Shore episode. Jersey Shore was one of those guilty pleasure programs you couldn’t peel your eyes away from. Filled to the brim with drama, debauchery, and, of course, fist-pumping, it’s no wonder the absurdly entertaining show lasted for six seasons and received multiple spin-offs. Every year we couldn’t wait to see Snooki, Pauly D, Vinnie, J-Wow, Sammy, Ronnie, and of course Mike “The Situation” head back to the sun and booze-soaked boardwalk of the Jersey Shore. One thing you might have missed in between Snooki getting arrested or Sammy screaming at Ron for making fun of her big toe is that the show was...
Back on April 18th, 2020, David Guetta raised the bar of the music livestreaming industry with his ballyhooed “United At Home” livestream event for COVID-19 relief.

In preparation for the event, Guetta teamed up with the Miami Downtown Development Authority and residential real estate broker Michael Wiesenfeld, an associate at Bricke...

Fast-forward about three weeks later when The Official Big Top 40, one of the most prominent radio chart shows, caught up with RAYE and chatted about the Twitter screenshot, among other topics. The “Please Don’t Touch” songstress refused to divulge any details on a potential collaboration between the triad, but did confirm that the three have been in touch from an artistic standpoint. “We was on a session Zoom call with Hailee Steinfeld,” RAYE said, prompting the show...

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that you can take the person out of the rave, but you can’t take the rave out of the person. That was the unofficial mantra of last weekend’s EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon, which went down as one of the largest virtual music festivals to emerge from our time in quarantine. Such a monumental event required its artists to pull out all the stops in order to shake up the livestream game, like SVDDEN DEATH, who performed a barbaric set as his sinister alter ego VOYD, and NGHTMRE and Ghastly, who showed out with a special B2B set. Enter David Guetta, who pulled a rabbit out of his hat by renting out fabled Miami nightclub LIV for his ballyhooed Rave-A-Thon set. Guetta’s performance was unqu...
