Throwback Thursday:: Tiesto (In Search of Sunrise 3)

Tiesto - Throwback Thursday
 

Artist Overview

At the forefront of electronic dance music since 2000, Grammy-winning Dutch DJ and producer Tiësto became one of the most recognizable figures of the genre with his legendary extended live sets, prolific output, and a pop-oriented crossover appeal that scored him multiple hit singles in the 2010s including "Red Lights," "Feel It in My Bones" with Tegan & Sara, "Wasted" with Matthew Koma, and "Jackie Chan" with Dzeko, Preme, and Post Malone. A Top Ten fixture in the DJ Mag Top 100 Ranking for decades, Tiësto has also accumulated numerous accolades throughout his career, including a Grammy in 2015 for his remix of John Legend's "All of Me" and a royal appointment as Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau, one of the highest honors in the Netherlands. He scored a Billboard number one Top Dance/Electronic Album with 2007's Elements of Life and cracked the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 with 2014's A Town Called Paradise. In 2020, Tiësto scored his 18th Top Ten electronic hit album with The London Sessions. He subsequently released charting collaborations with Karol G, Ava Max, and Charli XCX. vai All Music

 

Mix Overview

Before Tiesto cracked the mainstream via EDM he was the next up-and-coming guy right behind legends like Paul Oakenfold and Sasha and Digweed and alongside Armin Van Buuren. I first discovered this series thanks to Virgin Records in Time Square and really thought his sound was perfect for studying; getting my MBA at the time, maybe my undergrad…. Thanks to this album, I learned about Josh Gabriel and Gabriel & Dresden which really was my unlock with music at the time. This album is still a go-to anytime I need to focus and for some reason, I really have been putting it into heavy rotation as of late.
