Tiesto's career is punctuated by landmark achievements - the first DJ in the world to sell out a solo stadium event for over 25,000 people two nights in a row, he scored a number one hit with his single "Traffic", the first instrumental track to reach the top spot in his homeland of Holland in 23 years. His remix of "Delerium" featuring Sarah McLachlan's Silence was the first house track ever broadcast on daytime radio in North America. He played live in front of billions of people during the Parade of the Athletes at the official opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Athens. But despite his meteoric success, Ti?sto remains grounded about his achievements and clearly loves making and playing music above the accolades it brings. In 1997 Ti?sto, along with Arny Bink, formed Black Hole Recordings, the label that launched the hugely acclaimed Magik. Though known primarily for his pioneering contributions to the trance scene, Ti?sto's style is now a mix of everything: 'trance, house, techno - it's the best of all that the dance world has to offer.' His productions, sets, and releases range from peak time club heaven to the sort of perfect chill out that could reduce a grown man to tears, and have at times owed as much influence to classical music as to dance.
