If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself, it makes the sound more special. Tiesto makepeopleremix Change image and share on social
I can read a crowd pretty well. I know what to play and know how to keep it interesting for them and for myself as well. Most of the other DJs are more like producers so they become famous because they make hits and then they start DJ-ing. But I'm more from the other way around. Tiesto crowdfamoushit share on social
I was never attracted to the pop world. I listen to music that is pop sometimes. But I've never thought, 'Oh, I need to work with Ne-Yo now.' It's never really been my thing. Tiesto attracthavelisten Change image and share on social
Remixes come very quickly, because you already have the melody and the vocals. I have a great passion for music, so it doesn't matter to me if it's a remix or an original production. I don't think about it as, 'Well, I have to spend three hours on a remix or I have to do something all original.' Tiesto greathourmatter share on social
I can honestly say that the fans inspire. There's an unexplainable rush that comes when I'm in the middle of a set and the energy from the fans hit me. I also get really inspired through collaborations. I've learned so much from the emerging producers I've worked with just as they've learned from me. Tiesto collaborationemergeenergy share on social
I love suits, but onstage it's too hot. So, I like a nice T-shirt! Tiesto hotlovenice Change image and share on social
Most of the time - at the Grammys for example - a DJ will perform with just their hands in the air because they can't do anything and that makes it a little awkward, I think. Tiesto airawkwardgrammy Change image and share on social
I have been DJing in clubs for years. I always dreamed to be a famous DJ in Holland. And now it's worldwide. You can't imagine. I mean, I still can't believe it myself that everything has gone so well. Tiesto clubdreamfamous share on social
I like 'Elle' magazine. I love things online, like when all the big brands have a fashion show, I like to see the new collections. Tiesto bigbrandcollection Change image and share on social
There have been a lot of people involved in the growth of EDM's support in the U.S., from DJ/producers like David Guetta, Deadmau5 and Skrillex, to major festival organisers and pop artists of EDM integrating elements of dance music into their music. Tiesto artistdancedavid share on social
