| His set at ICE after Deep Dish on memorial weekend was one of the best Tiesto shows i have seen. I think it was 2005. He didnt show up til 3am but hammered it out til 7am. I remember them charging $200 at the door. I miss ICE |

Sounds like a broken record at this point, but it's well known that if Tiesto wants to rip the crowd a new one...he can.
I honestly think he's flat out burnt from his stardom. There seem to be sporadic nights during the last couple of years where he'd play really well...and often people would notice his attitude behind the decks was different, too.
He just doesn't seem to heavily pay attention to the progression of his set or the style represented. Despite what people say, he can beatmatch fine most of the time...it's just the programming is a mes and he'll transition into a track at a time where it just sound plain weird and wonky...like when he goes from trance track to a house track...and there's just no way transition rhem well....he still does it and it sounds icky...breaks my soul!
I think he's just going through the motions right now because in time as his name starts losing some draw he's gonna be forced to start lowing his booking fee. And I personally believe, at least in the USA, his name won't last long in the memories of he every day person who goes to a club only when some DJ like Tiesto plays because he's gained so much popularity. I am surprised at how many people I know (mainly at work) who don't know a thing about EDM, clubs, etc at least have heard of Sasha, Digweed, Oakenfold....hell, most of them seem to know others like PvD, Carl Cox, etc....Oakey is an obvious one for peeps to recognize, but there are some others too....but when you mention Tiesto, there's a high chance with them they actually won't know who he is...shockingly enough...
... so he has to be sure to save up all he can before he slows down DJing...Don't think we've reached any era where superstar DJs are retiring left and right...will be interesting to see how some of them fare if their bookings die out within the next 10 years and either have to live off the money they made or, if they've blown it, go back to having a regular day job lol. Can try running their labels, but even those are low-margin businesses right now! |

ANGELS MAKING WAVES
Angel Music Group flourishes despite legal attack
Don't believe the hype. Life in Clubland isn’t all sparkler service and block-rockin’- beats. Sometimes it can get downright ugly. And when it does, no one knows better how to pull it together and refocus than the residents of Vegas’ ever-expanding nightlife empire. Even while battling former business partners in Federal court, the ranks of Angel Music Group (AMG) continue to grow in the days prior to the opulent Wet Republic Ultra-pool's opening at MGM Grand.
A preliminary injunction for a restraining order as well as a $90 million law suit were filed in New York on February 27 against Angel Music Group CEO Neil Moffitt and five other AMG employees by former business partners Andrew Fox and Neil Heiman of The Management Group (TMG; owners of Track Entertainment, Clubplanet.com, NewYears.com, nocheLatina.com, CoolJunkie.com, and WantTickets.com). The case was removed to Federal court on March 4 with a show-cause hearing held that Friday. TMG accuses AMG of essentially disregarding all stipulations of their partnership agreement and—later—the dissolution thereof, and of stealing employees, luring away $1 million client DJ Tiesto, and of making threats of violence.
A little history: TMG and AMG came together for a short while (May 2006-march 2007) after successfully collaborating to bring AMG's Global Gathering brand to the US, the union also a part of TMG's attempt to build a presence in Las Vegas for their own brands. A number of prominent Las Vegas nightlife entities report that they too were at one point in discussion with TMG about forming a partnership. "He's not the most stand-up guy," said one such colleague of Moffitt, "but then on the other hand...," he continued to cast similar and equal doubt about Fox and Heiman saying that should the deal with his company have gone through, he never would have given them as much equity as they eventually would hold in the TMG/AMG partnership as sole Members, 23.7% of AMG each.
According to attorney for the defense Ronald Richards, the allegations against AMG specifically painting Moffitt out to be a bully were "patently false and defamatory." That matter is essentially settled, assures Richards, except for the remaining quarrel over legal fees and monetary damages, "a minor leftover complaint" incurred during the dissolution of the partnership in March of 2007.
Wait, $90 million? "Minor"?! This case is anything but over.
Numerous allegations remain that AMG has misappropriated trade secrets, lured away key staff members, undercut TMG prices, and specifically that Moffitt has "stolen" TMG client DJ Tiesto, the three-time number one DJ in the world who, a source within AMG confirms, was set to begin executing his new contract with AMG after a Memorial Day performance elsewhere in Las Vegas. According to TMG, Tiesto brings in $1 million annually and is named in the document as one of its "most important clients."
While Richards plays down the event, pooh-poohing the accusations which prompted the restraining order and the suit itself, the prosecution points out that AMG agreed to certain relief on Monday, March 10 to adhere to the tenets of their prior agreements which includes dropping any plans with Tiesto, staying out of the Miami market, ceasing to solicit TMG employees to joint AMG and much more. Moffitt has also given his word not to pose any physical threat to Fox and Heiman or their families. "We have been personally assured by his attorney that Mr. Moffitt is not going to do anything and we're taking him at his word," says Hutcher.
What is also certain is that the suit for $90 million in damages is indeed moving forward with the trial likely to occur in six to nine months. “We have every expectation that we will be successful in the end,” says TMG’s attorney Larry Hutcher. "We are confident in our position that our client's claims will be bourne out."
Dodging the fallout, Moffitt and his newly-formed team have persevered in assembling a knock-out lineup of polished talent for their Vegas office, with members hailing from nine different clubs, pools and lounges. Overseeing things are the un-titled equilateral management team of Moffitt, Derek Silberstein, Randy Davila, Brian Klimaski, Zee Zandi, and Steven Klimaski, who share between them a combined club resume of Ice, Jet and Pure Management Group. In a short time, this roster has swelled to include Wet Republic's Lead Host Blake Anthony and hosts Jason Pollack, Travis Zipper, Danielle Kalafut, Matt Nappoli and Ben Sabouri, all with resumes collectively touting Pure, Aura, Tryst, Moorea, Prive, CatHouse and Ice.
By the end of 2008, AMG expects to be successfully overseeing the promotions and programming of three venues at the MGM Grand including Tabu, Studio 54 and Wet Republic Ultra-pool as well as--we hear--an as-yet-unnamed, unannounced nightclub rumored to be arriving with the fall (at the earliest) to the MGM's soon-to-be-famous Club Row. Where's that, you ask? I'll give you a hint. If it wasn't called Club Row before, it should be then |
