ustin Jay is ditching the decks for a live tour in support of his latest album, Home. The Claude vonStroke protégé took time to study music theory and has incorporated this knowledge into his full-band performances on a tour that stops at Vinyl on Friday night.

p r o d u c e r

How much of your new album was live instrumentation? A lot of these songs I made while I was at my parents’ house where I didn’t have my full studio setup. My iPhone voice memo became really crucial because I didn’t have my microphone ready and I would just sing a voice memo and email it to myself. Toward the very end of the journey, some songs really started coming together. That’s when Ben [Bridges, guitar] and I would bring in Henry [Was] to play live drums. A good amount of stuff was not live but came from a live place. And then other moments were totally born out of jamming with [them].

l i v e t o u r

People might be conflicted about calling a live band “house music,” so how would you classify it? I’m curious to see what names people will call it. First, I was into making house and techno music, and I would sample vocals … and then I got into songwriting and started adding some singing on my house tracks. I can still DJ those songs, so it’s inescapably house music. But when they’re played live, it’s kind of a gray area. But the original dance music is disco, and much of that was recorded by bands. What has the transition been like going from the DJ booth to a live setup? Super, super scary at first. I’ve never been much of a singer. Now I’m singing for an hour in front of people, and it’s so fun, especially after having written a song that I really put myself into. It just feels so dope to be able to share it with other people. Justin Jay at Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel, November 10. –Deanna Rilling

he Backstreet Boys took the Strip by storm when they launched their Larger Than Life resident show at the Axis in March, and Nick Carter has been embracing his Las Vegas life since then. He moved to the Southern Highlands neighborhood about seven months ago. What have you learned about Las Vegas since moving here? I’ve been touring since I was 12 years old, so I’ve always enjoyed living in different places and making discoveries, and here I’ve discovered the people are really nice. Coming from LA where everyone seems aggravated all the time, the people here are really chill, and it creates a calm environment. And [they’re] very resilient ... the Vegas Strong thing really holds true.

How do you assess the success of the show at Planet Hollywood so far? We’re always trying to make it better, finding ways to maybe restructure some of the content, make it more seamless and as entertaining as it can possibly be. We’re always trying to outdo ourselves. But I think from the outside, people are really satisfied and maybe even kind of blown away.

B o y s a r m s

We’re very grateful, and it’s serious business to us. For the past two weeks I’ve been in the gym training and preparing. The show is intense, and there’s so much to it, and we need to look good and feel good to have the strength and energy to endure it. And in Las Vegas, it’s important that people leave satisfied and [feel] their money was well spent. How is the performance experience different from being on tour? There was a time in the late ’90s when I think we were really on top of our game—we had the albums out and all the hit singles and were able to put on an incredible show with all the bells and whistles and take it on the road. Now things have changed in the marketplace, and it’s harder to do that. Vegas offers us the chance to bring that back, for us and our fans to relive that thing that we are best at doing. We want to be that pinnacle Backstreet Boys show from that time, which is what everybody remembers. Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, November 10-18. –Brock Radke

alentino Khan’s new single “Gold” is out on Skrillex’s OWSLA label and will also show up on the soundtrack for the upcoming Major Lazer documentary Give Me Future. This should come as little surprise, considering Khan’s style and sound dip into various genres at any given time, just like those aforementioned artists. The LA-based producer and DJ has also started performing at Wynn Nightlife venues, something else he has in common with them. “I’m looking forward to being there on more of a full-time basis next year,” Khan says from Jamaica, where he was filming a video for “Gold” with the song’s collaborator, Sean Paul, and director Lil Internet. “I did some shows at Drai’s this

on the rise

year, and I’m always there for EDC, but I want to be in Vegas more often.” Judging from the catchy sounds of “Gold,” that sounds like a good thing for Vegas. Khan says he was out to make a feel-good track and dig back into his moombahton roots, and reaching both of those goals was a lot easier with the Jamaican rapper on board. “Working with Sean Paul was the perfect combination,” he says. “He’s really talented and so quick in the studio. He spit everything off the top of his head, and working with a true artist like that just helps bring the song to life. I like to throw different sounds at people but it was fun to revisit the kind of music I was making way back before it was on the radio.”

Khan’s touring doesn’t stop, but he’s been able to wrap up some songs recently, working with Yellow Claw and Diplo, among others, and expects to release more new music soon. Who’s on top of his list for a dream collaboration? “Kendrick Lamar. I think he’s the best rapper alive right now, and I’d love to get in the studio with him and do something really different.” Valentino Khan at Intrigue at Wynn Las Vegas, November 10. –Brock Radke

ovember 5 marked the sixth year the Soul Train Awards have been held in Las Vegas, once again taking over the Orleans Arena. Soul singer supreme Erykah Badu hosted the music spectacular for the third time, and unless you were among the lucky thousands in the arena Sunday night, you missed out on some of the show’s funniest and most memorable moments—BET’s November 26 broadcast won’t include Badu’s off-the-cuff banter, jokes and songs that entertained the crowd during filming breaks. She’s not just a musician; she’s a sorceress,

and everyone in the building was under her spell. No spoilers here—you’ll have to tune in later this month to see who took home trophies. But be ready to celebrate ladies’ night: Toni Braxton received the Legend Award and SWV took home the Lady of Soul Award. Braxton’s performance was preceded by a burn-the-house-down tribute by up-and-comers Ro James, Jessie J and Luke James. SWV opened the show with a medley running through its ’90s radio hits. If you’ve never been part of an arena-wide sing-along to

“Weak,” watching on TV will be the next best thing. Additional powerhouse performances by DVSN, Tank, Le’Andria Johnson, Daniel Caesar, 112 and Keyshia Cole helped make the Soul Train Awards’ 30th editon a truly special occasion, another magical music event that fits very well in Las Vegas. –Brock Radke

ack in the early days of raves in New York City, parties popped up at a variety of unexpected locations, from fast-food restaurants to the subway. Promotion company Yayfriends is recapturing that spirit—this time with permission—via a November 18 silent rave on the Las Vegas Monorail. For Sound Check 2, the party returns to the tracks for an allages mobile event headlined by Donald Glaude. “It’s the second silent rave we’ve thrown on the monorail, and it’s based around partying with a purpose,” says Johnny Moscow, Yayfriends’ founder and president. “Half the profits will go to the National Association for the Deaf. Our

goal is to restore music to people who can’t hear it anymore. We’re just going to throw a party like anybody normally would, but we want to make sure something good comes out of it.” The fun will take place on the No. 1 train wrapped with Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority branding; two of the four monorail cars will have DJs spinning, but attendees will have access to all four cars, and the silent rave headphones will tune into house or bass music no matter where you are. To obtain headphones, you’ll temporarily trade your ID and a $10 minimum donation before boarding (you’ll also get a wristband in case you need to disembark for a pit stop). You’ll also need to pur-

chase a monorail pass, but the local fare ride pass only costs $1. Taking place from 6 p.m. to midnight, the monorail rave will overlap slightly with a 21-and-up afterparty on the platform at the SLS station from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. for an additional $10 that includes an open bar. Local favorite Madam Filth and the Dancetronauts will headline. For complete set times and details, head to Facebook and visit the Yayfriends Sound Check 2 Silent Rave on the Monorail event page. –Deanna Rilling

ose.Rabbit.Lie. is well-established as the modern evolution of the Las Vegas supper club, an always intriguing option that wraps live music and lively cuisine into one unique package. Because there’s so much to discover and appreciate within these walls— whether its your first trip down the rabbit hole or you’re a frequent visitor to that side of the looking glass—it’s easy to overlook a single piece of the experience. But if this place was just a restaurant, it would be one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. It’s the little details in each dish that make Rose.Rabbit.Lie.’s cuisine mem-

orable and unlike anything else. It’s the bacon dust on the oysters Rockefeller, the swarnadwipa curry blend in the coconut creamed corn and the lovely, delicate crunch of the Yukon Gold potato shell that holds those impossibly delicious caviar tacos. It’s the infinite whimsy of the Chocolate Terrarium, which can’t really be described with the word “dessert.” It’s the belief that every plate can be pushed just a little bit further. And the most indulgent offerings are beyond compare. Recently added to the “social feasts” portion of the menu is RRL’s over-the-top version of classic Beef Wellington: a prime beef

hat is it that sets Lavo Party Brunch apart? Take your pick. The food is amazing, the environment is luxurious and the atmosphere is insane. Once the party gets rocking, you won’t want it to stop, thanks to hot music and the sexy staff. But the best part of this party is that there’s always something new, a fresh spectacle that will have everyone buzzing and snapping photos for the ’gram. This season, it’s all about the giant Bloody Mary. The traditional brunch cocktail of choice gets more than

an upgrade during Lavo’s weekend daytime extravaganza. Its built for the table at two different sizes and loaded with “garnishes” that include an entire lobster, shrimp cocktail skewers, crab legs and bacon. The spicy sensation is served in its own ice sculpture with a bottle of Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Forget the mimosa, this Mary parties hardest. Lavo Party Brunch at Palazzo, Saturdays 2-6 p.m., 702-791-1800.

he nightlife industry is very demanding. The schedule can get more than intense, especially for those in the marketing sector who log some serious office hours during the day before the party kicks into gear at night. Digital marketing specialists Sameya Hito and Karalyn Zamora had been spending their time fueling the fun at some of Las Vegas’ most popular nightclub and dayclub venues when they decided to squeeze the most juice out of every hour. “There were so many fun ideas we had and things we wanted to do, but we felt a bit stifled,” Hito says. “We wanted our own time,” Zamora agrees. “When you’re forced to be somewhere 10 hours a day, it can penalize you for being efficient, and it diminishes the sense of urgency.” Their need for creative freedom lead to the creation of Aesthetik Marketing, and striking out on their own quickly expanded their reach—from tech to entertainment to fitness. Among their partners: an apparel company called Forplay that’s setting up a showroom in the Arts District; sports media entertainment outfit Padlokt; cotton candy vendor Spin-Spun; and UFC hall of famer Urijah Faber’s lifestyle and performance brand Torque.

“We’re here for execution on creative concepts, whether it’s a social media contest or your daily posting of content we’ve curated because it’s going to hit your demographic better or a strategy we’ve put in place to boost traffic and engagement,” Hito says. “I don’t like to think we’re an outside agency, but rather a partnership with a team of people who specialize in these things so you can run your day-to-day business.” They pride themselves on doing their own research to dig deeper into the algorithms that create social-media trends, a topic that can be intimidating for any business owner. Clients’ needs have become the duo’s top motivators, and they’re constantly learning new skills to provide more services. “We’ve extended our network and been able to connect with some very impactful individuals, and they are predominantly female, which is important right now,” Zamora says. “It’s hard to start a business out here as two females, but we’ve met a lot of our goals and grown really fast, and we’re not done at all.” –Brock Radke
