TIESTO BIO:
Not many DJs have experienced the rush of being voted the world's number one in DJ Magazine's prestigious poll. No other DJ can claim to have won it three times, let alone consecutively. But Ti�sto's is a career punctuated by landmark achievements � the first DJ in the world to sell out a solo stadium event for over 25,000 people, he scored a number one hit with his single Traffic, the first instrumental track to reach the top spot in his homeland of Holland in 23 years. His remix of Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan's Silence was the first house track ever broadcast on daytime radio in North America, (it became an international dancefloor anthem and also spent eight weeks in the UK top 10 chart). He played live in front of billions of people during the Parade Of The Athletes at the official opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Athens. But despite his meteoric success, Ti�sto remains grounded about his achievements and clearly loves making and playing music above the accolades it brings.
On Black Hole Ti�sto has released the Magik and In Search Of Sunrise mixcompilation series, and most recent Nyana. His remix of 'Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan - Silence' was the first house track ever broadcasted on daytime radio in North America and was eight weeks in the U.K. top 10 chart.

Born in Holland, Ti�sto became a DJ because he 'liked to share music with other people. When I was younger, I'd listen to a radio show called the Soul Show, and to Ben Liebrand's mix show, where he would remix and cut up different tracks, and I just thought - I wanna do this!' Starting out with a mobile show around the country, he progressed to student parties, and then to three nights a week in a club, learning and perfecting his craft. 'music was always my first love but back then I didn't know it was possible to make a living out of being a DJ... If I wasn't a DJ now though I'd be a chef. I love cooking � it must be because of the mixing element!' The productions came later, in 1995. 'I really wanted to produce music that I could play in my sets, because it brings much more fulfilment to the process. I bought some samplers, some computer programs, and just started working on it.' He makes it sound easy � indeed, he makes it look easy as 10 years down the line his productions consistently bother the charts and frequently reach number one around Europe.

In 1997 Ti�sto, along with Arny Bink, formed Black Hole Recordings, the label that launched the hugely acclaimed Magik. In Search Of Sunrise, and Nyana mix compilations. The label grew to such proportions that in 2001 Ti�sto started a sub-label, Magik Muzik. 'It's the home of records of mine, or of people whose work I really believe in,' he enthuses. 'Everything on Magik Muzik is what you'll find in my sets, which makes it more of my own little project.' Some of the gems from Magik Muzik include 2001 anthem Flight 643, his artist album In My Memory, and tracks from Umek, Mark Norman and Mojado.

Though known primarily for his pioneering contributions to the trance scene, Ti�sto's style is now a mix of everything: 'trance, house, techno - it's the best of all that the dance world has to offer. 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.' Indeed, his brand of trance was always pushing at the constraints of the genre anyway, featuring soaring vocals from the likes of Sarah McLachlan and Kirsty Hawkshaw, spine-tingling breakdowns, and euphoric melodies at every end of the spectrum. His productions, sets, and releases range from peak time club heaven to the sort of perfect chill out that could reduce a grown man to tears, and have at times owed as much influence to classical music as to dance.

The many high profile gigs and shows have now taken Ti�sto away from exclusively playing clubs, and propelled him to become more of a mainstream artist. 'Often at my shows now, half of the people are die-hard clubbers, but the other half are people who know me from the radio, or from more mainstream gigs,' he says. 'It's more like they're going to a concert, so now I get a great mix of both worlds.'
In addition to this huge event, the album 'Parade of the athletes' is released worldwide in October 2004, which contains the music from Ti�sto's set at the Opening Ceremony. Simultaneously, the title song of his 'Just Be' artist album is climbing the lists and is heard on dancefloors everywhere.

Describing the last few years as 'a journey of defining moments,' (as well as the usual club successes, his shelves are groaning under the weight of numerous awards � TMF-Awards, MTV, Dutch DJ - and gold discs...) his favourites include the second night of the Ti�sto In Concert show in Holland in 2004: 'I was really aware of what was going on, the music was just right � a mix of all my big tunes and new tunes, everything just felt perfect that night. I played for nine hours straight, and it was my favourite gig ever.' And, of course, being voted by the readers as the number one DJ in the world for the third time. 'The first time it happened it was so amazing, I was overjoyed. The second and the third time were great as well of course, but the first time you're on the cover of that magazine that is so respected by other DJs � it's like winning an Oscar!'

Continuing to explore fresh avenues, Ti�sto is currently experimenting with new sounds in the studio, and writing more vocals himself. 'I'm not looking for any big collaborations right now, I'm more interested in a burgeoning talent � someone whose voice is good, and that really touches you. A voice should sound like an instrument to me. I've had a spell away from the studio, relaxing and travelling, but now I'm really enthused about getting back in there. I'm more open to doing remixes again. I like to hear a track and right away know what I want to do with it, what I can make different, and whether it'll work for me in my sets � all my remixes have to be tried and tested.'

The future for Ti�sto promises yet further success, both as the solo artist he's become and the DJ we know him to be. 'Another album, more remixes, definitely,' he agrees, 'but it's hard to look too far into the future. Every couple of months it seems that something new, unexpected and exciting is happening!'

Anybody got the set times for this one?

I'd recommend getting there early and seeing two real DJ's own the former #1... Marcus and KT's sets will no doubt be sets that shouldn't be missed...

Every time I see something with the two of those guys, or Elevation in Detroit I wish I was a LOT closer to the D... though that could very well be hazardous to my health...

Break a leg guys... even though I hate on Tijs all over the boards, I'm sure this is going to be a very cool night for the two of you... Should have a HUGE crowd...

Tix are ordered for this one. Should be a fun night.

I invited Wayne State's law school so I'm sure a few people may show up for this. Its too bad we can't have a six hour show like Montreal. Damn 2am.

set times should be

marcus beier: 9-10pm
kenneth thomas: 10-12am
tiesto: 12am-?


the 2am sucks royally, but alot of good hearted peeps in this scene make sure we have beats and dancespace until dawn cracks.....

tiesto afterparty w/kenneth thomas, shawn michaels, and elevation
@ the works/michigan avenue/5 minutes from the state

WOW! I'd come out for this night just to see everyone else playing... Marcus, KT, Shawn, and Mike... damn...

I thought the after party was at the Masonic Temple???

As long as there is one and someone able to point me in the right direction - and keep me from wandering downtown Detroit drunk wearing an all-red Ohio State jacket at 3am again...

You're right it's called the Boom Boom Room (www.boomboomroom.ca - I think that's the website). It opened Halloween weekend with Mark Oliver. I was going to check it out, but was in Toronto for Andy Moor & Steve Lawler.

Their site is under construction right now, but I was on it a couple days ago and it said that Saturday's were Rap & Hip-Hop I think (booooo), and Friday's they played a mix of Euro and Top 40. Not really my thing.

I think they're going to try to get some DJ in there though...like Mark for example...KT you should see what's goin on there too! I'd definatly make it out for that.

As far as I know, Remo is still running the club. Don't hold me to that though. There's a number on the website to call for reservations if any DJs are interested.

As for Wild Orchid. Haven't been there in awhile. I think they still have their EDM nights on Tuesday's. Though I haven't heard of anyone big coming in recently, except for local talent - which is always good to support!

Will there be any tickets available @ door?
I'm hoping to go but i'm not sure if i will be able to pick up tickets off ticketmaster
