Tiesto

Tijs Verwest (born January 17, 1969 in Breda, Netherlands) or Tiësto is one of the world's leading trance DJs. Although he has used many aliases in the past, he is best known for his work as DJ Tiësto. However, his latest productions have him dropping the "DJ" label and he is now known simply as "Tiësto." In Europe, Tiësto is best known for his famous remix of the Delerium single Silence (featuring Sarah McLachlan) and for his interpretation of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. Tijs will be permanently attached to his Tiësto alias, an Italian twist of his childhood nickname, and this acclaimed remix that brought him into the strata of world-renowned DJs.

Tijs began DJing professionally at school parties, and then moved on to becoming a resident DJ between 1985 and 1993 at several clubs in the Netherlands. During these years, he produced hardcore/gabber tracks under aliases Da Joker and DJ Limited. However, it was at "The Spock," a small club in Breda, where he was able to fine tune his own style by playing in a separate room from 10pm until 4am on weekends. In the mid 1990s, he started to produce trance, and in 1997 he and Arny Bink co-founded Black Hole Recordings to support his work. Black Hole Recordings and its sub-label Magik Muzik continue to sign Tiësto's vision of trance-producing talent and DJs such as Cor Fijneman, Ton TB, and Mark Norman.
