Why Zedd Produced for Justin Beiber

(MTV) When Justin Bieber needed a four-on-the-floor dream team to add some EDM flair to his June album release, Believe, he looked no further than pop gurus Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and Lady Gaga's pal, dance music wunderkind Zedd.

The result is "Beauty and a Beat," a restless, pounding pop tune tailor-made for a night out on the town, complete with some lyrical sass from fierce MC Nicki Minaj. But, if you think that gifting the single to Bieber was an automatic "yes" for 23-year-old Zedd, you'd be wrong.

"It was very professional. We didn't start from scratch because I had a track done, which is now 'Beauty and a Beat.' I made the song and I didn't know who to give it to," the DJ/producer told MTV News at AVALON Hollywood during the L.A. stop of the Poseidon Tour with Porter Robinson about how the track landed on Bieber's lap.

"And Bieber was actually the first, or his people hit us up. They heard the song and they were like, 'Please, let's try it out.' And I wasn't convinced at first, to be completely honest," he further explained. "But then it started with the fact that he was early in the studio, which just never happens — like never happens. And then he was just extremely fast. He nailed the song in an hour and sounded amazing. And then it was no question for me. I don't need to try someone else out if I know this is right."

The song is currently burning up radio and the video, which was co-directed by Jon Chu, is also busting records. After getting released last Friday, Vevo has confirmed that the singer's new video managed to get 10.6 million views in its first 24 hours, surpassing the record held by One Direction's "Live While We're Young" clip.

And by Wednesday (October 17), that number had nearly tripled. As of press time, the video had more than 27 million streams. The video premiered last week as the last step in his elaborate virtual prank on his fans. Days before the video premiered, he claimed that he had a computer stolen containing personal footage during a tour stop last week. Turns out, there was no robbery, and the "footage" eventually made it online in the form of that music video.

Boys Noize XTC- New Synthy Single from Out of the Black

By Lauren:

While this track might have been out for a few months now, Boys Noize just released his new album "Out of the Black", featuring XTC as a single. XTC has been backed by A-Trak, Justice, Chemical Brothers, and other well-known DJs. It's being played in major sets and causing mass dancefloor chaos.

This song breaks down into funky synths and whispering, techtonic vocals that Alexander Ridha is so well known for, being a techno producer in this electro age. The lyrics are sultry and infused with the seductive-ness of the EDM scene. Simply put, this track is meant to be listened to at HIGH VOLUME. Pulsating bass and synthetic buildups create a track that is begging to be remixed, but still showcases Boys Noize's skills as a talented producer.

"Out of the Black" was released Boysnoize Records on October 2 and is definitely worth picking up if you like this track or if you like the modern sounds of techno. Buy it on Beatport.

Even better than the album is that Boys Noize is coming to Boston on December 2! EDMBoston will be there with you at House of Blues to be covering this show that you must go to. After seeing Boys Noize at Electric Zoo, he is an act not to be missed.
