Berlin's presiding electronic artist Thomas Gold is back in the States, having just completed final production on a highly anticipated piece of music.

In April, MTV News first broke the news that Gold and Swedish House Mafia icon Axwell were exchanging ideas on a house music banger, which at the time was titled "Sing to Me." The Swedes debuted the song during their takeover of Pete Tong's BBC Essential Mix radio show last month. Fresh off his flight from Germany, Gold stopped by MTV's offices Thursday to announce that he'd completed his new single, and its new title is "Sing2me."

Considering his provenance alone, Thomas Gold is a powerhouse producer whose star is on the rise. His own singles, "Agora" and "Marsch, Marsch," were put out by Steve Angello's Size Records and Toolroom Records. Those two songs, and his recent collabo with Dirty South, "Alive," have become house hits. His remix game this year alone has been nothing short of stellar, with official remixes for Lady Gaga's "Judas" and Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain."

"I remember when I got the request for the Adele track," Gold recalled."I was like, 'Oh my god. Oh my god,' because I love the original, and should I really dare to do a remix of that? But I talked to my guys and said, 'Hey I would love to do that.' And at the end I got so much positive feedback. The 'Judas' mix as well. They are both highlights of my set, and I play them all the time."

For months now, EDM fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of "Sing2me," a project that saw Gold exchanging ideas with Axwell (the two had success earlier this year with their remix of Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers' "Blow Up") this spring and summer. After exclusively sharing the final version of the song with MTV News, he explained that though it's been a long journey, he's happy with how far the song has come.

"I just got the final mastering done a couple of days ago, and it's finally finished!" Gold gushed. "It was my song and I sent the idea to [Axwell] months ago. So I've been really working a long time. Because I had a certain idea of how the track had to be at the end. The vibe I wanted to create. How it should sound in the club. I tried many things [to get] it to where it is. I'm really happy now.

"Axwell has been so supportive," he continued. "He really loved the track when I sent the rough demo to him. We exchanged files back and forth so he could do his little tweaks. He's a very musical producer, and this is very interesting to me because his tracks are always banging and have so much energy, but they're still very musical. So I learned a lot from him."

"Sing2me," does not have a confirmed drop date, but it will be released on Axwell's Axtone imprint. If you're in the New York area, you can catch Thomas Gold performing at Pacha NYC Friday (October 7) night.

Four rockers from New Haven, Connecticut working under the phonically-foreign pseudonym Beijing really know how to rock.   They’re currently working on two full-length albums to be recorded early 2012–that’s right; not one, but two albums. That’s some serious inspiration and/or work ethic! But for now, we’ll all just have to be satisfied with their debut [...]

SANTIAGO, ChileJustin Bieber faced plenty of challenges when he shot his "Mistletoe" video, the least of which was the fact that he did it in September, in Tennessee, with fake snow cascading down from the sky. The way he tells it, the biggest obstacle was not even being weirded out by Santa.

"It was different because, like, it's a Christmas video, so you gotta get your Christmas spirit on," Bieber told MTV News backstage in Santiago, Chile, where he played to 55,000 screaming fans on Saturday. "We had Santa there. He was kind of interesting because he had this finger that would light up, but I never knew that, so he would come up to me randomly and pointed at me and his finger lit up and it was really strange. I was like, 'Santa doesn't do that, my friend.' "

Of course, Bieber was quick to add that despite the awkward interaction, he remains decidedly pro-Santa, since "he gets kids in the holiday spirit."

Bieber's "Mistletoe" video will make its world premiere Tuesday at 7:54 p.m. on MTV — with a special live stream to follow on MTV.com, where we'll roll out more of our interview with him! — and on Monday (October 17), he released the song to iTunes. He's rather proud of how both turned out, because he got to collaborate with two of his favorites: director Roman White and the production team known as the Messengers.

"[Roman] can tell a story really well, so we wanted to use him," Bieber explained. "He shot the 'One Less Lonely Girl' video, and I thought he did a great job; he shot the 'You Belong [With] Me' video with Taylor Swift, and he had a lot of great experience and a lot of great work.

"[And] Nasri [one member of the Messengers team], he's really intelligent, he can tell a story as well, Christmas, anything," he continued. "So we were thinking of doing a Christmas album last year, we never really got to it. And this year I was like, 'This year I really want to do it,' so we collaborated on some ideas and sure enough, we got some great Christmas music. ... I think I have a few classics on the album, I really, really do. I think that there's some songs on there that are so catchy and everyone's going to want to sing them every Christmas."

Catch the premiere of Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe" video Tuesday, October 18, at 7:54 p.m. on MTV, with a full interview to follow on MTV.com.
