Las Vegas has long been a proving ground for electronic music’s titans—a place where only the biggest artists hold residencies. From Martin Garrix and Tiësto to Fisher and Chris Lake, securing a spot on the Strip is a defining moment in any DJ’s career. Now, LAVERN is making history, stepping into the spotlight as one of the first stutter house DJs to land a Vegas residency.
This is more than a career milestone. It’s a statement about the future of dance music.
LAVERN’s Rise: From Viral Success to Vegas Stardom
Laurens Elshof, better known as LAVERN, wasn’t handed success. He built it. His 2021 breakout track, “Move Me,” racked up over 50 million streams and went viral on social media, launching him into the global spotlight. But rather than staying boxed in as a social media sensation, he expanded his sound, blending pulsing stutter beats with sunset melodies and euphoric house elements.
With over 32 million listeners and more than 311 million total streams, his impact is undeniable. He’s shared the stage with Martin Garrix and Gryffin, remixed tracks for Kygo, Ava Max, and Becky G, and headlined his first-ever Los Angeles show this year. Now, with a Las Vegas residency on the books, LAVERN is stepping into the next era of his career.
Vegas residencies aren’t just bookings. They’re a seal of approval from the industry’s elite.
Stutter House: A New Sound Takes Over the Strip
LAVERN isn’t just performing in Las Vegas. He’s introducing a new era of sound to its dance music landscape. His residency is beyond just him—it’s an evolution of the dance landscape. Stutter house, the genre he champions, is reshaping electronic music. Defined by chopped vocal loops, glitchy beats, and unpredictable rhythms, the style pushes the limits of modern dance production.
While progressive house and techno have long dominated Vegas, stutter house brings a fresh energy. It fuses experimental production with mainstream appeal, making it the perfect sound for Hakkasan’s high-energy dancefloor, Tao Beach’s sun-soaked vibes, and Marquee’s iconic club nights.
The Career-Defining Vegas Takeover
Kicking off April 10 at Hakkasan Nightclub, LAVERN’s Las Vegas residency will showcase his signature stutter house sound across some of the city’s biggest venues. Each show offers a unique setting, from high-energy nightclubs to sun-soaked poolside parties.

We’re Rooting For You LAVERN, The Future Is Now
From a humble Dutch village to Brooklyn Mirage, Tomorrowland, and Ushuaïa Ibiza, LAVERN has made every stage his own. But Las Vegas? This is different. This is the moment where he cements his place among dance music’s biggest names.
Beyond a booking, a Las Vegas residency for LAVERN is a stamp of approval from the industry’s elite, signaling that an artist has reached headliner status. Only the most in-demand DJs secure a spot, as these residencies are high-stakes, high-profile commitments that draw global audiences. The biggest names—Zedd, Illenium, Nicky Romero, and DJ Snake—have all dominated the Strip with long-running, sold-out shows. To land a Vegas residency is to prove that an artist’s music, brand, and performance can command the biggest stages in the world.
For LAVERN, this isn’t just another tour stop—it’s his launchpad as one of dance music’s next big headliners. With stutter house rising, a residency locked in, and a global fanbase behind him, LAVERN isn’t just making waves. He’s changing the tide.
