In support of the release, 12th Planet embarks on a 28-city, North American tour kicking off on February 2nd in Miami, FL. And he’s giving fans a chance to get up close and personal! That’s right, 12th Planet will be hosting Meet & Greet contests presented by HEX in select cities with tour mates Flinch, Kastle and Crizzly. Enter now at www.12thplanet2012.com/tour!

Named one of bass music’s foremost purveyors in Billboard’s Year In Music issue, 12th Planet dominated 2011 with a sold-out, 50-date North American tour alongside Skrillex, released the ‘Who Are We?’ EP on his influential dubstep label SMOG, which just celebrated their 5-year anniversary, and co-produced a track on Korn’s latest foray into dubstep (“Way Too Far” with Flinch). He has also lent his signature crushing bass and resonating energy to remixes for MIA, John Legend, Travis Barker and more, and has collaborations coming out with Dizzee Rascal, among others. With his star rising internationally, 12th Planet was also dubbed “US dubstep godfather” by UK’s dance music bible Mixmag, as he’s emerged as an ambassador of the now fully established American dubstep movement.

“The Greatest DJ of All Time” Launches Partnership at XS on Feb. 4

Las Vegas, NV – Jan. 30, 2012 – Tiësto, recently voted “The Greatest DJ of All Time” by Mixmag, has forged an exclusive residency with Wynn Las Vegas daylife and nightclub venues Encore Beach Club, Surrender and XS nightclubs for 2012.

With countless achievements including a Grammy Award nomination, several MTV awards, and a performance at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Tiësto, a.k.a. Tijs Verwest, is one of the most recognizable electronic artists worldwide. He has developed an incredible following over his career and compiled more than 10 million Facebook fans and nearly 300 million hits on YouTube.

“Tiësto is more than an artist — he is a globally respected brand,” said Jesse Waits, co-owner and managing partner of XS and Tryst Nightclubs. “This partnership is an integral component of our plans to solidify Wynn Las Vegas as a mecca for electronic music. The combination of Tiësto’s talent, devoted fan base and special production elements will create a monumental series of events in the year ahead.”

“Tiësto is one of the most recognized and respected electronic dance music artists in the world. He is an international ambassador for this exploding music movement and continues to be a driving force in increasing its popularity in Las Vegas and beyond,” said Sean Christie, co-owner and managing partner of Encore Beach Club and Surrender Nightclub. “This exclusive partnership further establishes us as the premier destination for experiencing the world’s best EDM talent.”

Tiësto has worked with artists such as Kanye West, Coldplay, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Goldfrapp, Jónsi from Sigur Rós, Diplo and Busta Rhymes. When he’s not collaborating with celebrated talent, he’s jet setting his way around the globe, playing sold out shows. His 2010 “Kaleidoscope World Tour” spanned more than 15 months and 175 dates across six continents playing to more than 1 million people. The hugely successful tour was recognized by Billboard Magazine. In 2010, Tiësto was nominated for two Billboard Touring Awards, placing him among Billboard’s Top 25 largest grossing touring acts of the year.

In 2011, Tiësto completed his “Club Life College Invasion Tour,” the largest dance music tour to ever hit the American college market. The three week tour included stops at campuses across the United States and Canada, with the final date on Oct. 8, 2011, at the Home Depot Stadium in Los Angeles, where he played to a sold out crowd of 26,000, marking the largest single DJ show in US history. He finished 2011 with a bang, playing at the launch party forMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in Rio and launching his exclusive fashion line, CLVB LIFE Clothing.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Tiësto has kicked off 2012 in style with the announcement of his very own Sirius XM channel and the launch of his “In The Booth” behind the scenes YouTube series. Additionally, he recently made social media history when he performed the first ever live concert stream on Twitter from XS.

The residency with Wynn Las Vegas will feature several headlining dates at XS, Encore Beach Club and Surrender throughout 2012, debuting at XS on Saturday, Feb. 4. Tickets are now available for purchase at wantickets.com.

XS Nightclub is open Friday through Monday from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Surrender Nightclub is open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Encore Beach Club is open seasonally. Table reservations are highly recommended (XS: 702-770-0097; Surrender and Encore Beach Club: 702-770-7300). For more information, visit http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/nightlife.

Official Press Release:

Las Vegas, NV – Jan. 10, 2012 – XS, the sophisticated nightclub at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, will celebrate its third anniversary with a special set by electronic dance music’s breakout star of the year, Skrillex, on Monday, Feb. 6.

“The past year has been a monumental experience for XS, as we have launched into major partnerships with electronic music artists,” said Jesse Waits, co-owner and managing partner of XS and Tryst nightclubs. “As our venue celebrates continued success, we are more than thrilled to host our resident DJ and recent Grammy Award nominee, Skrillex, at this special night in XS history.”

Skrillex stands not only at the vanguard of electronic dance music, but the perpetually evolving new music industry as a whole. He describes his current sound as “a mix of dubstep, electro and glitch all thrown together,” which has garnered major attention from fans and critics alike in the past year.

Most recently, the young DJ made a major breakthrough as the first electronic dance music artist to be nominated as “Best New Artist” at the Grammy Awards. He stacked up the most nods for the genre, adding nominations for “Best Dance Recording,” “Best Dancing/Electronica Album,” “Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical,” and “Best Short form Music Video” to his resume.

Recently named MTV’s No. 1 EDM Artist of 2011, Skrillex has created major club anthems over the last year such as “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” and his remix of Benny Benassi’s “Cinema.” Combined with his unparalleled stage presence, he will be the perfect addition for XS’ special celebration.

Since opening, XS has been continually recognized with awards and accolades including being named the best place to dance by the New York Post to countless local “Best Of” lists. Known as the top grossing nightclub in the country, XS has placed in the number one spot for the Nightclub & Bar Top 100 in both 2010 and 2011, based on annual revenue.

With its chic vibe and fashionable reputation, XS remains the place to see and be seen for celebrities, glitterati, locals and tourists. Table reservations are highly recommended (XS: 702-770-0097). Tickets for Skrillex are available for pre-purchase at wantickets.com. XS is open Friday through Monday from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., located on The Esplanade at Encore.

Official Press Release:

Where do we go to see the greatest DJ’s in the world? Las Vegas, Nevada. While there are plenty of clubs with DJ’s performing every weekend, this Martin Luther King weekend we stepped into the Encore, sister hotel of the Wynn and home to one of the finest clubs in Sin City, Surrender Night Club. Doors were scheduled to open at 10:00PM, yet there was a line already forming by 8:30PM. We definitely couldn’t believe the size of the line.

Why was there a line and who were we waiting to see? None other than the world renowned Scottish DJ and Producer himself, Calvin Harris, who was officially celebrating his birthday at Surrender. [Who wouldn't want to celebrate their birthday in the Official Party Capital of the World?] He was set to take stage at Midnight for his 2 hour set after DJ Burn’s who opened for this 10PM-4AM event.

As you walk into the entrance of Surrender, you are taken outside where there are lights atop of the surrounding walls of the whole venue and a gorgeous pool with pathways to walk across. This venue is definitely one of the most beautiful clubs that we have ever been to. There was also a tent setup just outside of the main dance floor to extend inside the smaller indoor dance floor for this event. However, anywhere you were inside or outside the club, beautiful people were dressed up in their finest attire surrounding you; all ready to rage for this birthday extravaganza.

As midnight approached, Mr. Harris took stage and opened up with his hit “You Used to Hold Me” and got the crowd instantly going. Hands in the air, people bouncing to his music, and flashing lights all over the venue; this crowd was “ready for the weekend”. You could feel the energy as the crowd danced and sang along to just about every song he played. 2011 was such an impressive year for Mr. Harris, we definitely can’t wait to see what he has in store for this year. One thing is for sure, Mr. Harris must make another stellar appearance at Surrender Nightclub at the Encore soon!

Just take a look at some of the excitement that took place that night…

Kaskade’s Exclusive 2012 Las Vegas Residency

Official Press Release:

There are two things that separate every DJ in the EDM world: first is the music and second is the performance. A Super DJ is able to take over the club with authority, draw the kind of response that leads to nearly half a million Facebook fans, garner some of industry’s best artists to collaborate on his freshman album and has a global-known presence. Yep, we’re talking about Steve Aoki and the iconic DJ/producer unleashed a Wonderland mix-masterpiece upon a privileged audience this past Monday at the infamous XS Nightclub.

For all of those who ever been to a Steve Aoki show, it is no surprise that the Dim Mak’s head honcho was participating in bottle popping, crowd surfing/rafting and whatever on/off-stage antics he does (now cake-smashing too), it never ceases to get old. Just like with any other addictions and vices we all have, it just keeps us feigning for more and more.

XS Resident DJ got things shaking right away with a great opening set and got everyone warmed up for Aoki’s upcoming electrifying energy. The energy instilled in the crowd seemed unsustainable but everyone at XS was about to find out that Aoki was about to fuck shit up. As soon as Aoki took the decks, he started off strong with many of his Wonderland tracks that feature several big industry names such as Kid Cudi, Wynter Gordon, NERVO, LMFAO and Rivers Cuomo which got everyone pumped up for more. Of course, he even included tracks from his previous catalogue such as “Warp” and remix of Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness.”

Hours of calf crunching, fist pumping, sweat pouring dancing; Aoki doesn’t let you leave the dance floor and reminds all of us why he’s internationally known. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or were somehow accidently addicted to the charismatic DJ/producer, Aoki gave us a taste of what to expect for 2012 before he treks off on his Deadmeat Tour. World-class music talent, confetti, beautiful people, flashing lights, and an unforgettable night are just a few reasons why XS Nightclub continues to prove to us AND the world why it’s one the best clubs. Look for XS Nightclub to employ some of the biggest and best EDM acts in 2012!

2 days of Pure Madness!

As 2011 came to a close and the countdown reached 0, surrounded in a sea of white, we came to realize that we were at the best place to bring in 2012.  Weeks before, Heist and Co literally received a countless amount of event invites to attend what others claimed would be the greatest New Year’s party around, but one look around White Wonderland during the countdown the confetti blasting, laser “pew pew’ing” and the pyrotechnics flashing at the Anaheim Convention Center, we knew we made the best decision of all of 2011 to spend it with our Insomniac Events family who brought Orange County its first real WHITE PARTY.

It was no wonder that this event sold out within weeks of tickets being offered. With a line of such magnitude who wouldn’t want to ring in the New Year’s at another one of Insomniac’s star studded events. Every single DJ who performed put on a set that would literally blow you away. My personal favorite’s would either have to be Dadalife’s set from Day 1 [Who doesn't love some bananas and champagne?!] or Steve Angello’s set from day 2 [1/3 of SMH!].

Every single person we spoke to at this event said this had to have been their bestNew Year’s Eve in years!

Thank You Insominiac for such a great 2011, Heist & Co can’t want to see what you have in store for 2012!
