Tiesto Brings Hedex Out at EDC Las Vegas as a Special Guest

Drum and bass producer Hedex had made his EDC Las Vegas debut on the second day of the festival. The 21-year-old DJ had experienced a weekend of firsts when he played the bassPOD and then joined Tiësto on the mainstage as his special guest. Videos shared by the artists had captured the DJs sharing a moment of excitement as they danced to the music.

Hedex had played several unreleased tracks at both sets, promising the songs would drop soon. He and Tiësto had also premiered their collaboration. The UK producer had described the experience concisely, calling it a “crazy weekend.”

As a legend in house music, Tiësto playing drum and bass to the EDC crowd was an iconic moment in itself, but bringing Hedex out was an even bigger surprise. At Ultra in March, Tiësto dropped “MHITR (Semi-Automatic),” leaving listeners wondering if he would be dipping his toes into the genre.

Hedex has been making jump-up for listeners and music-makers alike since age 16. He has accumulated a solid fanbase and played Wembley, DnB Allstars, and more. On top of those, he is embarking on a North American tour this summer.

Longtime producer Tiësto has become a staple in dance music since debuting in the early 90s. The Grammy-winning artist is known for staying in the house and techno space but seems to be embracing the most recent drum and bass wave. The duo’s ID has been compared to Hedex’s hit “MHITR” and definitely has the same UK drum and bass sound.

The producers have not given any details on their collaboration, but there may be more information coming. Tiësto’s set at EDC Las Vegas was live-streamed and can be watched in its entirety now.
