As SLS Las Vegas approaches its one-year anniversary, the newest property on the Strip has consistently grown its DJ roster. Some of EDM’s biggest names have stopped in to perform, and many have signed on for residency shows. Whether moving the crowds under the sun at Foxtail Pool Club or making bodies sweat on the dance floor of Foxtail Nightclub, the DJs of SLS keep the parties at the property hopping both day and night. The spotlight shines on five of the superstar DJs— Borgore, 3LAU, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten and Markus Schulz—who share with readers some insight into their lives. (Interesting note: they all love sushi.) And when asked to pick just one: peace, love or happiness, all said none would be possible without the others. Read on for more DJ bites.
