CHP officers had been called to the area on reports of a man yelling at drivers and trying to take down a freeway sign.

XIE-ing is Believing: L.A.-based house music creative XIE became interested in learning how to produce quickly after she started songwriting.“Growing up I was in Symphony, played piano and was really studious so I knew I could do it,” she says. “The learning curve was steep, but it finally gave me the complete tool kit to have full creative control over my vision. DJing came after production in the past 5 years when I became truly obsessed with and immersed in edm and the dance music scene. The transition into DJing felt so natural to me and to feel the crowd’s energy and be able to perform my music in this way felt absolutely amazing.”Today, she describes her sound as club bangers sprinkled with her vocals, “all spanning under the house umbrella from tech house, to UK house and techno. I love making records that each have a unique vibe and create a world of their own.”XIE thinks electronic music, particularly house, is in an amazing place right n...Was Tom Hanks showing an angry side on the Cannes red carpet?
