So it turns out we still have something to thank MySpace for after the first decade of the new millennium. Since without it, it’s quite likely that we wouldn’t have one of the EDM scene’s brightest hopes for the future in a very long time.
After being inspired to create electronic music by the French electro godheads Justice, Zedd set about making a name for himself and in 2011, decided to try messaging dubstep wunderkind Skrillex with one fateful message.
He said: “Hey, 99.9% of the EDM scene sucks, you’re the last bit that does not, you’re awesome and you’ll like my music.” Before the Kaiserslautern born native knew what was happening, he was put through to Skrillex’s booking agent, and was on tour with him shortly after.
Since then, everyone from Ellie Goulding, to Foxes, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga have worked with Zedd. His album “Clarity” was released in 2012 to great acclaim and strong sales but his collaboration with Paramore’s Hayley Williams was what broke him out as a solo artist in his own right, leading to the world wide smash hit “Stay The Night”.
This is a man that can write record and release all this while still performing up to 150 shows as a DJ in a year, and there is still a very long time before his 30th birthday. This is an artist with the world at his feet and the best is yet to come.
Born William Grigahcine, Snake's production work on Lady Gaga's 2011 effort Born This Way earned him a Grammy nod when it was nominated for Album of the Year in 2012. Also in 2012, he signed with Diplo's imprint Mad Decent and released the single "Bird Machine" on the label in 2013. The singles "Slow Down" and "Together" also arrived in 2013, along with more work for Lady Gaga on her ARTPOP album. His big break as a solo artist came late in the year when "Turn Down for What," featuring Lil Jon, arrived and became the most popular crossover trap hit since Baauer's "Harlem Shake."
In 2014 he collaborated with Dillon Francis on the single "Get Low," while 2015 saw him join MØ and Major Lazer on the worldwide hit "Lean On." In 2016, he delivered his debut album, Encore, which included the singles "Middle," featuring guest vocalist Bipolar Sunshine, and "Let Me Love You," featuring Justin Bieber.
In 2017 he became the first artist ever to perform on top of the historic Paris landmark the Arc de Triomphe.
In 2018 he dropped new music including Magenta Riddim and Taki Taki with Selena Gomez, Cardi B and Ozuna which topped Global Spotify chart for over a month giving Cardi B, Ozuna and Selena Gomez their first Global top spot position. DJ Snake will headline at Coachella in 2019.
Anton Zaslavki is a grammy winning DJ and producer, and is one of the top EDM artists, but is better known as Zedd. Like most EDM stars these days, a lot of his tracks feature other artists, usually vocalists like his grammy winning song “ Clarity” which features Foxes. But what you may not know is that Zedd is also a classically trained pianist making him a multi-talented artist, as opposed to the “EDM DJs only push buttons and are not real artist” reputation. Knowing this information, you get a better realization of where his inspiration comes from when he makes his own tracks. When given the opportunity, like when I was able to see him live, he played the piano for the popular song “Stay The Night,” instead of staying behind the DJ equipment.
The biggest problem that you encounter with such a huge DJ is that when they have their live sets, the artists that they collaborate with may not be there. Case in point: Hayley Williams, the original vocalist for “Stay The Night” was on tour with her own band and could not make this performance. This meant Zedd needing to use another vocalist, or the recorded track. He went with another vocalist, who wasn’t so great.
Regardless of these possibilities, Zedd is an EDM genius, and his shows are super energetic and loads of fun.
You may not know the name William Grigahcine, but chances are you probably know who DJ Snake is. They are one in the same person; the world recognized producer, mixer and DJ of the electronic music world. The French artist has worked with the likes of Diplo, Dillon Francis, and even Lady Gaga.
The great thing about DJ Snake’s live shows is the incorporation of a variety of different genres mixed together, unlike a lot of other electronic music performers who have a bit of a problem of their sets becoming tediously the same. There is a distinct difference in all of his sounds, bringing together a wide array of fans, since the genres cross over so much. Also, instead of having an annoying MC do all the hyping and talking, DJ Snake picks up the microphone instead. He is extremely personable in the sense that he speaks quite often to the crowd, even if it is very simple, it’s a nice change of pace from the MCs who say things for no reason and have a disconnect to the music. The crowd loves him, just as much as he obviously loves what he is doing up on that stage.
I loved their set.
Yes, it was one of the best sets of 2016 that i have seen. Unfortunately, the van that was suppose to bring their visuals got stuck in a blizzard and they only got left with one screen and the lights the Wonder Ballroom offered. But it didn't matter, I loved their set, with them playing their remix of "Compass" and "Blase" as well as originals they made like "Weekend" and "Fire." They even closed off their set with their biggest hit, "It's Strange."
