EDM & Loving Sigur Ros Nov 28th 2012, 21:23 Filed under: Concerts and Tours, News, Exclusive, RPM, New Music, New Releases, Q + A, EDM  Courtesy of Tiësto Continuing to contribute to the fight against AIDS, world-famous DJ Tiësto has partnered with the RED organization to release a new compilation album, DANCE (RED), SAVE LIVES, which hit shelves Tuesday, Nov. 27. The album, which includes selections by U2 alongside EDM stalwarts like Calvin Harris, Diplo and Avicii, will be followed by a global YouTube livestream from Melbourne's Stereosonic Festival over World AIDS Day weekend (Dec. 1-2), featuring performances by the artists on the compilation. A longtime AIDS-awareness advocate and perhaps the world's best-known DJ, Spinner RPM spoke with Tiësto about his partnership with RED, Obama's reelection, the distinction between David Guetta's pop-minded dance productions and EDM, and much more. You've been involved with HIV and AIDS awareness for a while now. How did that start? I got involved in 2003, 2004, with a company called Dance4Life out of Holland. I wouldn't say they're similar because RED is quite bigger -- it was more like we, also through dance music, tried to get people more involved, to get the generation and schools involved, to help in Africa and stuff. So that's how it started.  |  | | |  |  |
