In a trance with trance

Trance is cool. It’s different from other music because it combines different styles. DJ Tiesto is the one DJ I listen to the most on my playlist.

DJ Tiesto is a Dutch trance DJ and record producer. He has become one of the world's most famous people in the trance and electronic dance music scenes. On Sunday he was in Cyprus where he held a live concert at Eleftheria stadium. He is the first DJ to play live on stage at the Olympic Games at the 2004 opening ceremony in Athens. In 2008 he received a Grammy Award. He also worked for charity and collaborated with Giorgio Armani who designed a t-shirt with his name on it which he sold for charity. In 2001 he broke a world record by drinking 31 cans of Red Bull in 24 hours but afterwards he said he would never do that again.

He was always interested in music as a kid and started working as a DJ at parties. Then he started working at clubs and became more and more popular until eventually he became the first DJ to play on his own in front of an audience.

Trance has been described as “classical melodies with jungle rhythms”. It is often played in night clubs and holiday resorts like Ibiza. It is supposed to be chill out music rather than energetic music.

Tiesto is one of the main producers and remixers of trance. Trance helped Tiesto become famous when he started making mixed compilations, something nobody else did at the time. His “Magik series” helped him shoot to fame.
