So it's basically confirmed that Steve Rio is Tiesto, right?

I'd want a mix done in one take, so a couple of hours.

If I wanted that I would download this thing called a "set". A "set" can also be called a "live set". When it comes to mix compilations what I want is something smooth to listen to where a dj plays tracks he wouldn't normally play out and puts everything together in an interesting manner. Balance 005 comes to mind and I would hardly call it a "soulless pro-tools mix".

Indeed. There's lots of tracks that work awesome live but when you're cruising down a highway in your car or relaxing in your living room listening to a CD, then they just don't. That's where the really good compilation mix CDs shine and where Tiesto usually does a good job. His mixing doesn't bother me that much and the track selection usually is very good and fitting.

Will need to hear it first though before I can make a full judgment of course.

true that.

K I've listened to it about two times now, got it a week back or so.

Wow. I was pleasantly surprised. Some really good prog-trance tunes in there, definitely carries the vibe throughout. No complaints really in the mixing. Cary Brothers - Ride (Tiesto Remix) is a fucking TUNE, really well done. Most of the tracks I've never heard before so it had that refreshing sound to it.

8/10.

Article in Dutch, the name is Dennis Waakop Reijers......aka THE BAND(it)

Posted by Lascodi on Jun-06-2008 12:15:

Yeah they are the perfect band. Dennis makes the music, Tijs plays it and gets all the fame. Just like any other band probably, it's almost always the vocalist, in this case the DJ, which gets all the fame and glory...not that I would mind being in the same position as Dennis though, fame is crap.

Posted by wesleysnipez on Jun-10-2008 02:21:

Just finished listening to disc 1 because XM radio channel 81 BPM was able broadcast disc 1 from beginning to the end and it is sick ass mix by Tiesto. Was hoping they would play disc 2 to but was only allowed disc 1.

Posted by GTaudiophile on Jun-10-2008 02:35:

So, the big question for me, how does it stack up to ISOS 6?

Much better. By Far.

To me his new ISOS was better then his last one.

This is a free translation of the article in Dutch, for all his fans.

The music perception of��.Dennis Waakop Reijers

In this edition of music perception��we state Dennis Waakop Reijers (Rotterdam 1975) central. As a producer he is the unknown man behind the world famous DJ Tiesto (Tijs Verwest 1969).

Since 2001 Waakop Reijers had already contributed to Tiesto-repertoire.

Together they form �The band� as Tiesto calls it. Their newest weapon fact is called in Search of Sunrise volume 7 and appears soon.

Edition 20 of the music perception: An interview with producer Dennis Waakop Reijers.

�On very young age I had already the idea that music or sound would play a particular role in my life. That was always there, but however, but I could never place it in this way.

That came fifteen years later. My family was not very musical. Yes, my grandfather played the piano in a big band, but I had never seen much of it. I was already on very young age busy with sound engineering.

When I was eight I recorded music of the radio on a double cassette deck. I tried to assemble subsequently music behind each other. Those tapes might still be here somewhere.

Now, however, it will sound outdated. When I was ten I got a Commodore 64, which I extended with a module so that you sample within a couple of seconds.

Black Music

�My first music on the primary school was something of Five Star. I have twisted that tape entirely grey. The first album which I bought was the debut of Madonna, with lucky star, according to me that was her second single.

My first single was something of Janet Jackson. I have never become a real album collector. At that time there was no dance music, however, there was break dance, electric Boogie and Hip Hop, which I found all terrible nice.

And Prince of course, I liked the black music better. I had nothing with rock music form the Golden Earrings or Rolling Stones.�

The Prodigy

�When I was fourteen and still in secondary school, I went to a concert for the first time, Mc Hammer in Ahoy, an anniversary party of a friend of mine.

I still know that in the newspaper stood that it seemed as if the beat constantly hit you with a hammer on your head. A couple of years later I visit a concert of the Prodigy.

How their beats sounded, on rock and hip-hop that was appalling cool. Concerning electronic music they were my first heroes, who have been very important for me.

I was trying out that style also a little bit myself. I had a mate in class with a synthesizer. I could play a little. On my sixteenth I have bought my first own synthesizer of my newspaper money.�

Technical Engineer

�During my study as a technical engineer at the TU, music became more serious. My study consultant found that I could use some external motivation. That became music. I have then more or less made the choice for music.

With great thanks to my study consultant. But I could not get behind on study because of my parents. Have eventually graduated, thus I can call myself a technical engineer.

I do nothing in that direction, but I have had profit of my study. My way of thinking and insight has developed enormously. Moreover using electronic apparatus is a lot easier.�

First production

�My first production I made in 1996, for record label Mid-town, a type distant preamble of Trance. In 1999, a remix of the song, �The beat is flown� followed, also for Mid-town, a well know number at that time.

That was under the name Full Fillers and my very first brought out production. But now that feels far away, in a grey past.�

Tiesto

�My first serious remixes I made at the end years of the nineties, when Tiesto came on the radar. I got acquainted to him around the summer of 1998. We not yet knew each other, but a friend of mine, who worked in a music store had introduced me to Tijs.

He had asked me as a test if I could do a remix request for him. He was already considerably well known, at the end of 1997, he had preformed at Innercity and in 1998 there he was the headliner of the show.

I endured the test and fairly quickly after that we cooperated intensively together.�

�The Band�

�Since 2001 we have produced the first Tiesto Album. We worked together ever since on productions and compositions.

Behind that stands a small group of people that take care of all the other none product relative issues.

But purely he and I are responsible for the numbers. Tiesto calls us �The Band�. In my contract it is dictated that I can do also work for third parties or for myself, but in practice I do not have the time to do that.

Moreover we are such a strong team together, that it would be not a sin to use our joined strengths. �

Trance

�What we do is always immediately pushed in the corner of the trance music, but that is not correct. I would never call it trance music. What we do is much broader.

If you listen to recent remixes there is a lot of trance influences in it, but also completely other styles such as rock, classical music and pop. �

I don�t mind standing in Tiesto�s shadow

�Most of the people don�t know me. I am totally unknown, except in the producing industry of course
You are as a producer not an artist, you see you that internationally as well.

Take for example the most important producer of Michel Jackson, Quincy Jones. For somebody who does not know he is not very well known, but within the industry he is one of the greatest and got a lot of large offers.

I find it in fact, pleasant to stand in the shadow of Tiesto. I am left in peace and can do everything without someone asking me for a signature. Of course sometimes I also get fan mail or requests from other artists�

To analyzing

�The role of music in my life is of great importance. But it is also like this that if I close the door of my studio, I frequently have no interest in music.

Okay, I sometimes left my wife hear at home, what I have made that day, but more often I need rest and no music. I found that if I listen to music I approach it very fast in a professional manner.

When I am out with my wife in a restaurant I still find myself analyzing the background music. If I hear something, I listen frequently attentive. How the song is built, with which layers, what are the passages, for which it is seizing or which is not?�

Hifi-set

It is a misconception to think that at home or in the car producers have mega- sound systems on which the listen to music all day. Till I was eighteen I have always had the old sets of relatives.

On my eighteenth birthday I got a Philips Midi set, everything into one. When I went to live together I bought something better: Harman Kardon AVR4550 with Tannoy sensys DC1 speakers.

These days I would buy other components that connect better with what I have in the studio.

If I listen at home to demo versions of current projects, I get, as it happens, a misrepresented picture of what I have done that day. In the studio I have Dynaudio Air Surround speakers.

Vinyl

�I have at home and in the studio no more a turn table, although I get, vinyl of our productions. I work myself always with computer files.

Vinyl is absolutely beautiful and sensitive, but also precious and impractical. A cd is simply easy. I have at home approx 250 cd�s, not really a lot.

There is very broad spectrum of everything in my collection. Every now and again I hear something what I wanted immediately. Such as last How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb of U2.

To dance I listen in fact very little. I get by means of Tijs sometimes a track, in a way of �this is what you have to listen and sometimes I skip through Tiesto�s 538 radio show.

In former days I did not listen to other dance music because I didn�t wanted to be influenced, now because it does not catch me anymore.

With electronic music the chance is great that the mix silts up in cut and paste work. This affected the originality of the music. What we do, is to get the originality of the song as a starting point.

This takes some developments. It is very easy to copy success numbers, that is what the audience wants, but development is equally important in this way. You must try to find a balance between those two.�

To download

�I download every now and again by means of i-Tunes. But for myself I decide a couple of years ago for fundamental considerations that I do not download illegally. On the other hand there are also positive sides to do it.

I do not disapprove it, if other people are doing it. In South America for example there are many people too poor to buy a cd. But if Tiesto plays there, they all have a very good time.

They all know the music of the internet. That is in fact simply a complete good thing.

Rafael community

�I don�t go to concerts very often. Last year I have seen Gwen Stefani by chance. Friends could not go and we got the tickets. That concert worked terrible well. A couple of times I have been to Hillsong, a (Christian) Australian band.

We go ourselves to �The Church on the Way� a gospel municipality in Rotterdam. Hillsong are rocky, very exuberant. Delirious from United Kingdom is also such a band. They are present in the same corner as U2, but then with the intentions of Hillsong.�

Ibiza

�I am not someone who goes to all the dance festivals. I have been a couple times on Sensation and Innercity, but that was enough. I have been with Tijs a couple of times. Not that far away from home. London, Belgium and Ibiza.

India and New York were also on the schedule but due to circumstances that was blown off.

If I am there, Tijs doesn�t me wanted to do anything.

�Go and chill, you have already contributed enough�. But nevertheless I try to stay focused. I find it interesting to see how the audience reacts to our music.

And what there still to improve�
