We kicking off the new year with some fresh music from artist that we never thought would join forces, two weeks after Anyma dropped a teaser of his new track with Ellie Goulding who had a cameo appearance at his residency set at the Sphere in Las Vegas, the track has been released! Why can't more DJ's release tracks this fast after dropping teasers? The track titled "Hypnotized" has since racked up over half a million views on YouTube and counting. Ellie is no strange to EDM having collaborating with Calvin Harris in the past, speaking to Rolling Stone Magazine, Ellie had this to say about her latest work, "Collaborating on ‘Hypnotized’ with Anyma has been an incredibly enriching and wildly exciting ride,” the pop star tells Rolling Stone. “He is a creative visionary with an unmatched ability to marry sound and visual art in a way no one else can."
There seems to be no stopping Tiesto, the Dutch Trance music legend just celebrated his 750th episode of his weekly podcast "Clublife" last week and just a week before that dropped his latest single "Don't Be Shy" featuring Karol G. The 52 year old who also became a father for the first time in the past year seems to be loving life at the moment with much of the US clubs and festivals slowly opening up, he has a lot planned for the rest of the year. This track takes on a bit of different style and has similar sounds to what was used in his London Sessions album but with a more pop sound to it. The track has a catchy bassline and backtrack but has that unmistakably Tiesto sound to it. The music video is brilliant as well, themed around the movie Night at the Museum, really gives you a experience on its own.
In its centenary year, Panasonic chose to announce at CES 2018, held in Las Vegas that they have invested in a diversity of domains, including electric cars, voice assistant integrations and developments in the much-loved lifestyle appliances that have made Panasonic a household name. Panasonic South Africa's marketing managing director, Hidetoshi Kaneko believes that these investments align with Panasonic's quest to make daily life a better experience for people across the globe. "We are proud to expand our repertoire to include next-generation technology to create a better life and a better world for our consumers."
Panasonic also showcased some of its latest products, one of which they're held in great respect for. Since the dawn of the flat screen TV, Panasonic have been in the forefront of technology and quality in this industry. Their units were quite sort after since the value in their products were so great and reliability was second to none. The prices on their products were slightly steeper to competitors but it wouldn't take the consumer long to figure out why this is the case with some light research. With 4K OLED TV's now being the industry lead, Panasonic showcased its FZ950 and FZ800 series, featuring the HCX video processor and supporting HDR10+ dynamic metadata technology, as well as four new Ultra HD Blu-Ray players to maximise the leisure of any living room. Panasonic's high-end audio line, Technics, has unveiled the specs for its most premium turntable ever, which is bound to please vinyl lovers both young and old.
Other notable products that were launched are their new line of 4K camcorders and the Lumix still camera range. CES 2018 proved to be the perfect introduction to Panasonic's future vision which will pave the way for the next 100 years and promises to be just the beginning for the appliance giant in the realm of technology and innovation.
It's been a while since we last featured the Dutch maestro on the blog, it just goes to show the new talent that is making its way onto the circuit. Tiesto is back though, with his new song featuring Bright Sparks "On My Way". The song has been out for a while now with him dropping it just towards the end of last year and getting loads of play earlier this year. The official music video dropped last month and is pretty cool as it features fans from around the world who were selected to join the legend for his birthday at Hakkasan in Las Vegas. The fans were asked to vlog their journey to Vegas and meeting up with the DJ for his celebrations, its a nice feel good song to get your week going.
It's no secret that I am a big fan of Tiesto, besides his legendary status, I do enjoy the music he produces and he exerts a certain energy that I relate to and enjoy tremendously. In the same breathe, I can tell you I'm a massive fan of John Legend, he's really one of the stand out R&B stars of late and his voice reminds you of that old school sound but with such a great flow that it sends you into a state of calm. With two such talented individuals teaming up, you know the end result is going to be great, this is the first time the two have collaborated in produces a track, but it's not the first time they've worked together as Tiesto's Remix of John's "All of me" was the best selling remix of the track. Summer Night's is just as epic and is bound to be another chart topper and judging by the reaction it got after EDC Las Vegas where John came onto stage during Tiesto's set to sing, it's heading there fast.
According to the latest Forbes chart, he's the highest earning DJ for the past two years now, having performed world over including making regular appearances in Ibiza and Las Vegas it is a wonder where he finds the time to create music in the studio, He's latest work which includes a few tracks with Ellie Goulding, have done well which is easy to see why he is so in demand and making all that cash. His latest offering features American Pop Rock band HAIM. The song was released in February and has been doing pretty well in the charts, it's just recently broken into the SA market and I'm sure it will be another chart topper. If you like me, were a fan of Scandinavian pop group Ace of Base, you will easily take a liking to this song as well since it's of a similar sound and tempo.
