ATB’s latest album ‘Distant Earth’ featured the likes of Armin van Buuren and Dash Berlin. Well known for his single “9PM (Till I Come)” and also his eight studio albums, six ‘in the mix’ compilations, his ‘Sunset Beach DJ Session’ compilation and a total of four DVDs, he has established himself as one of the decade’s most important international electronic music artists.  
 
Benny Benassi, who won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Dance Remix, continues to dominate the electronic music world with his 2011 album ‘Electroman,’ which features the hits “Spaceship” with Kelis, “Beautiful People” with Chris Brown and “Cinema” (feat Gary Go), remixed by Skrillex. He kicks off his Marquee residency on February 18. 
 
Chuckie, the King of Dirty Dutch, brings Amsterdam’s daring, sophisticated and sexy style back to Marquee for another year starting January 13.

Dirty South, who has earned “Essential New Tune” labels by Pete Tong and Grammy Award nominations in Best Remix for Kaskade’s “Sorry” and The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” (with Axwell), brings his signature dark house sound back to Marquee on January 6. 
 
Erick Morillo’s Subliminal Sessions residency inaugurated the dancefloor at Marquee one year ago and has brought a packed house ever since. He recently launched a new project, SYMPHO NYMPHO, with house production legends Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero and Jose Nunez. Their album drops in March 2012, featuring guest performances from Wyclef Jean, Pitbull, Busta Rhymes, Dizzee Rascal and more.

Markus Schulz returns to his Marquee residency after a consistently wowing the crowd with his fusion of progressive, house and trance into an inimitable hybrid sound last year. Summer saw this DJ Mag Top 10 DJ release ‘Thoughts Become Things II’ under his alter-ego Dakota, which explores a darker, most devoutly club sound. While the original earned an Album of the Month award from Mixmag, Markus recently followed up with ‘Thoughts Become Things II: The Remixes’ with reworks from Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and more.
 
Redfoo’s raucous, no-holds barred Party Rock Mondays residency returns for 2012.  Redfoo, one of dance music’s preeminent talents and son of Motown legend Berry Gordy, has taken the electronic dance music scene by storm, both through his solo DJ gigs and as part of the prolific LMFAO. Redfoo has established himself as a one of the globe’s preeminent party DJs, while LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs, Top 10 for Billboard Dance Club Songs and iTunes Top 10 Songs charts.

Chuckie, the King of Dirty Dutch, brings Amsterdam’s daring, sophisticated and sexy style back to Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for another year starting January 13. His exclusive 2012 residency promises to deliver all new custom visual programming and performers. 
 
Named one of “The Dance Music Producers of the Moment” by Rolling Stone, Chuckie recently released the ‘Dirty Dutch Blackout’ compilation featuring his new hit “What Happens in Vegas.” “With great inspiration comes great music and the place that inspired me most last year is really Las Vegas.” Chuckie says of the track. “Vegas is now officially ‘housed’.” Indeed, Chuckie’s residency last year saw him command Marquee’s 40-foot LED DJ booth and  state-of-the-art Funktion One sound system to bring in a packed house every month.
 
Having risen to fame with chart successes such as “Let The Bass Kick” and “Aftershock,” Chuckie’s career has continued to develop.  He is a global phenomenon who never fails to win over legions of fans with his upfront approach to making and playing music. Taking dance and urban music by storm in Europe, The United States, South America and beyond, he is spreading the Chuckie flavor with his explosive beats, surprise FXs and adulated climaxes. 2011 also saw Chuckie join the BBC Radio 1 team to present his ‘In New DJs We Trust’ show, spinning to a world-wide audience and showing off his undoubted talent behind the decks.  As his stock continues to rise and rise, it seems the era of Chuckie domination is only just beginning.

COMMUNITY: Marquee Announces Kaskade’s Exclusive 2012 Las Vegas Residency

Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is proud to announce the return of Kaskade for an exclusive 2012 residency, which will begin January 14 and showcase brand new production content.  In addition to packing in the crowds with monthly shows at the nightclub, Kaskade also will play several dates at Marquee Dayclub this upcoming pool season, making Marquee the only club venue in Las Vegas where electronic dance music fans can take in the sounds of America’s #1 DJ.   
 
Kaskade ushered in 2012 by playing a record-breaking 12-hour New Year’s Eve set and debuting an all-new show on Marquee’s larger-than-life 40-foot LED DJ booth with stunning custom visuals, state-of-the-art Funktion One sound system with 32,000-watt subwoofers, and beautiful costumed dancers.

After an incredible 2011 at Marquee, in particular the Halloween and New Year’s Eve epic sell-out shows, I can’t wait to continue the residency in 2012. Having a monthly residency in Vegas gives me the chance to stretch out musically, play longer sets, and share some really unique magical moments with my fans. Vegas has exploded in the last two years, the parties just keep getting bigger and better, the city and Marquee are can’t miss destinations for dance music fans,” Kaskade says.
 
Kaskade’s recent double disc album ‘Fire & Ice’ (featuring Skrillex, Dada Life, Skylar Grey and more) hit #4 on iTunes Overall Album Chart and the Billboard Top 20. In 2011 he was voted “America’s Best DJ” by DJ Times, capping off a year that also saw him host the legendary BBC Essential Mix (his mix was voted one of the top four of the year), headline America’s first ever touring electronic music festival IDentity and sell out back-to-back shows at NYC Roseland Ballroom. His exclusive Las Vegas residency at Marquee promises to continue to push the club experience to new heights.

COMMUNITY: Official Lightning in a Bottle video and a message for 2012!

A message from our dear friends at Lightning in a Bottle:

Happy 2012! As we all embark on this exciting (and perhaps historic) new year, we would like to take a moment to share our intentions for the Do LaB community and Lightning in a Bottle festival. Whether prophesied, or simply the true state of affairs, our community, our nation, and our planet face great change at this particular moment in time. We invite you all to embrace this change and continue celebrating life and our incredible human spirit during these tumultuous times. Though our problems seem many, and solutions difficult, we must remember to approach them with grace, love and celebration for in this attitude lies our best way forward.

LIB has always been about discovering and enacting a different way of living. A way that is more in touch with the earth, with each other, and with ourselves. As the pace of change continues to accelerate all around us, and old ways of thinking begin to reach their logical and useful ends, LIB continues to expand its spiritual and educational aspects so that we, as a community, may boldly embrace and lead the way into this new world. The Temple of Consciousness will be bigger than ever this year and will include inspiring new structures for the yoga and meditation area, as well as the beautiful area for speakers and workshops in the heart of the Temple. At the same time, we have a music and performance lineup brewing (scheduled to be released in March) that could be our best yet and is sure to awaken the celebration of dance that we hold so dear.

We are so happy and proud of the way LIB has been able to continue to grow and mature, while continuing to preserve that indescribable vibe we have all come to love so much. We thank everyone that participates in this event, from the volunteers and the musicians, to the painters, builders, artists and crew, and especially to you for contributing to that feeling that makes everyone feel so welcome and happy to join us in capturing lightning in a bottle, year after year.

It is to all of you that understand and reinforce the intention of the festival that we offer our early bird discount tickets for 24 hours starting on Monday, January 16th at 7am. We can’t be absolutely sure, but all indications point to the festival becoming sold out earlier than ever before this year. We don’t want you, our valuable core of festival goers, to miss out on tickets this year. We want to see you smiling again, bringing your incredible energy and understanding to help us make Lightning in a Bottle 2012 our greatest year ever.
