Killing It: The Pay-Per-View Edition

Moroder wants to be more like the Blue Man Group, Pretty Lights goes pay-per-view, and Carnage has a bad day. This is news, guys.

There's enough gossip going around the world of electronic music that it probably deserves its own TMZ, Gawker, and Perez Hilton. We keep track of the drama, the beef, the LOLs, the dramatic build-ups, and the tragic drops so you don't have to. Now, let's see who killed it this week.

GIORGIO MORODER GOES VEGAS, TURNS INTO A "FRANCHISE"
This week 73-year-old Giorgio Moroder told The Guardian that he will soon have his own Studio 54-style disco night in Las Vegas. It'll have the very creative title "A Night with Giorgio Moroder," and   he hopes it'll turn into a franchise "a bit like the Blue Man Group." "We might even talk to the Cirque Du Soleil team," Giorgio added. Good lord, didn't this guy just play his first DJ gig at the Williamsburg club Output less than a year ago? I guess that's how it works now.

PRETTY LIGHTS WILL HAVE A PAY-PER-VIEW CONCERT

Pretty Lights just announced his first-ever pay-per-view concert in San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. For the low, low, low cost of $19.95, you'll be able to tune in on Saturday, November 30 at 9PM PST/12 AM EST. This is weird because… Pretty Lights is all about giving away everything for free—even entire albums of his music. Plus, EDM people do pay-per-view shows now?!

FUNNIEST DROPS EVER

The Mayor of Pussytown, Tonga (aka @Mister_Wang on Twitter) is doing God's work. By putting together the BEST DROPS EVER on his Soundcloud. So now, if you need "a drop so crazy you will kil your family" or "a drop so incredble that Flo Rida is already ripping it off for his next shitty single," just visit Mr. Wang's page. (We won't give away the joke—but trust us, it's worth it.)
