DJ Tiesto's answer to his fans - New Tiesto Style!

Tiesto is fully aware of what people think about his style now. He understands that his current style is a mixed blend of House|Techno|Trance. Tiesto claims that he never lost his love for Trance. He has travelled the world so much in past years that all the other genres of electronic music have started putting an effect on Tiesto. However, Trance still contributes the most to his style. Tiesto's 4 hours set is still very energetic and you can expect to hear more than 50% Trance. Tiesto answers his fans saying, " In 1998, I was really a Trance DJ, but now I've travelled round the world so much, different influences have seeped in and I play a bit of everything. I think the only way forward for DJs now is to play a diverse mix of sounds." World's famous music producer Timberland once asked Tiesto to do a remix of one of his songs and Tiesto felt that it was a very golden opportunity as Timberland is well reputed for what he brings into the music world. Tiesto hardly plays exclusively in clubs these days because very high profile gigs have taken his attention and propelled him to become a mainstream artist. Tiesto's fan now, are a mix of die hard clubbers who go to clubs all the time and the other ones who know Tiesto from a high-profile gig or from the radio. When people come to see Tiesto now; they're coming to a concert so Tiesto gives them a mix of both the interests.

God of Trance - Tiesto losing his popularity

DJ Tiesto is believed to be the God of Trance. Excuse me! Tiesto has been very popular between the years of 2002 and 2005. Well known for the only DJ who performed in front of 75,000 people and he was the first one to do an event like that. Tiesto also performed at the biggest event Olympics.

What now? If you search over the internet among the Trance forums, DJ Tiesto is not as liked anymore. Have people got bored with Tiesto style? NO. Do people don't like the way Tiesto looks anymore? No. It is mostly because Tiesto's music is becoming more and more mainstream these days. If you have seen Tiesto's Copenhagen DVD, you would know what I'm talking about. DJ Tiesto's music is a mix of House, Techno and Trance now a days. Few years back, what got DJ Tiesto really popular was his killing tunes of Trance. Remember, Trance! What would you do when you like someone so much and then he changes? The same thing happened here, a lot of Tiesto fans have lost interest in him and now they don't like Tiesto's music anymore.

I'll write more about this in the next post. You can subscribe if you want to be updated, Thanks!
Meanwhile, check out this awesome clip from Tiesto's Copenhagen DVD -2. This is the last Track - Nenes and Pascal Feliz - Platinum.

Electronic Music vs. Ecstasy

Why does Electronic music or Trance sound good on Ecstasy? I guess everyone has noticed that when you are on ecstasy the music sounds a lot better! The reason behind this is ecstasy affects your brain and your senses. It makes everything look and sound better. It also improves the capability of human body towards touch and feeling. Even though, Ecstasy is not necessary to enjoy good electronic music. Especially Trance is a genre which involves ecstasy intake by ravers. But here the question arises; Would you not enjoy Trance if you are not on ecstasy? The answer is YES for some and NO for the others. Actually, it depends when you go to a nightclub or an event, Are you there for the music or are you there for the drug intake? 

Trance is enjoyed by millions of people without ecstasy. If you like Trance music because of Ecstasy, you are probably on the wrong path. Even though, I have nothing against Ecstasy users but I totally don't understand the people who think that Trance is all about taking pills and ecstasy. Trance is something very pure and beautiful and that is why when someone takes ecstasy it looks more pure and beautiful. I think the accusations being held towards Trance as a place of drug users are very wrong in a way. You can find places of different genres and there are people doing drugs there too. Trance is a dreamland, you just have to understand it and sometimes without ecstasy too.

Note: Accessive Ecstasy use can damage your life . Be responsible!

Another Hard Trance Nightclub in Melbourne (Aus.)

BUBBLE : This place is massive! It's near the Southern Cross Station. Southern Cross station was also called Spencer Street Station before. OK, this club has 2 floors. Hard Trance Anthems on 1st floor and House/Electro on 2nd. This place is so huge that the first time I went there I lost myself and then found out that I was running in circles. The first time I went there, it was so hilarious- It was 6'oclock in the morning and we were still dancing at Bubble. I asked my friend if he wanted to go to the other room and my friend started laughing. I asked him why he was laughing? But he didn't tell me anything. Anyway, so we did not go to the other room at bubble, I was asking for. After that, we left Bubble and my friend was still laughing. Then he told me that the other room I was talking about was actually a very huge mirror. Hilarious!

This place is open on Fridays and Saturdays. You need to go early because there is always a big cue infront of it. If you go before midnight you can have free unlimited complimentary beer on 2nd floor. How awesome! Checkout this awesome video from Bubble. The Hard Trance Place!
