Resident status: Which DJs aren’t signing exclusives on the Strip?

    • The third anniversary of XS in the Encore with DJ Skrillex on Monday, Feb. 6, 2012.

      First the diminutive DJ and post-dubstepper was aligned with Light, but he hasn’t played the Mandalay danceteria since March. Lately, he’s been a regular presence at XS, suggesting he’s on borrow for pool season. Kaskade has been similarly shared between Marquee and XS.

      One of the biggest draws in bass music was once a Surrender resident, but his only Vegas date on the books will be hosted at Brooklyn Bowl—which may be a better fit for the unconventional DJ.

    • Hot Since 82

      Why Marquee hasn’t swooped in to sign this hot-sh*t British house DJ for its afterhours program is beyond me. Either he’s become too expensive, or Marquee has become too timid.

    • Pete Tong

      There’s arguably no one playing more relevant tunes than the founder of England’s Radio 1 Essential Mix. So why isn’t he on a club’s roster? Perhaps he’s smarter than that—or not the type of name that sells bottles.

    • Paul Oakenfold

      These trance kings ruled the late 1990s and early 2000s, but now even former serotonin sultan Oakenfold can barely crack the DJ Mag Top 100, and PvD hasn’t played the Strip in a few years. With trance supposedly coming back, maybe he’ll find himself a new club home.
