When the party starts this October, virtual DJ’s and MC’s throughout the universe will fire up two turntable controllers and a microphone and mix it up with Tiësto – one of electronic music’s defining artists, DJ’s and producers – in DJ Hero 2, Activision today revealed. Having worked with the likes of Muse, Justin Timberlake, Jónsi from Sigur Rós, Flo Rida, Sean Kingston and Three 6 Mafia, performed for billions of fans at the opening ceremonies of the Athens Olympics and headlined the Coachella and Bonnaroo music festivals among others, Tiësto has earned his status as the world’s hottest DJ. The GRAMMY Nominee will be spinning for a new audience as he takes to the virtual ones and twos, delivering a pair of pulse-pounding exclusive mixes and joining the ever-growing roster of playable characters, including Deadmau5, David Guetta, DJ Qbert and others.

“DJ Hero 2 is all about bringing people of different backgrounds, ages and music tastes together to have some fun DJ’ing their favourite music. The way the music comes together is fresh and unique and as a DJ, I couldn’t ask for more than that,” said Tiësto. “I am excited to be involved with this medium and to be contributing to a great game with an amazing soundtrack.”

“From touring the globe and working with some of the world’s most visionary artists across five hit albums, to performing at the biggest clubs and the hottest festivals, Tiësto is one of the biggest DJ’s in the world,” said Tim Riley, Vice President of Music Affairs, Activision. “We’ve assembled a cast of the biggest and best DJ’s and having Tiësto bring his unique style adds incredible flavour to the best soundtrack in entertainment.”

The ultimate mixer of music and friends, DJ Hero 2 will deliver the definitive way for players to come together and party with a host of new multiplayer modes – including DJ Battles that pit DJ against DJ in mixes produced specifically for battle gameplay – and invite vocalists into the spotlight with integrated on-screen singing and rapping of lyrics and rhymes while bringing the party to life with jump-in/jump-out Party Play gameplay. Featuring the biggest dance, pop and hip-hop hits by the hottest artists everyone knows and loves remixed by world-class DJ’s in an all-new way, the game’s soundtrack delivers over 80 unique creations only available in DJ Hero 2. Further immersing players into the music, the game offers a heightened level of creative input and allows everyone to add their own touch, directly impacting the beats they’re spinning with freestyle scratching, crossfading and sampling.

The record didn’t slip through Tiësto eyes and he decided to make a the same joke for Data Life guys. He successfully over did “Satisfaction” and now this work rocks all over dance floor. Who knows, maybe, this version of “Satisfaction” is going to be more popular than Data Life..?

Tiësto – Love Parade 2010 Photos

In depth Review
The entire Asia tour, Tiësto was welcomed by City lights, vibrant streets, packed out nightclubs, superior hotels, and a frenzied fan atmosphere. Whilst also being overwhelmed and mused by the stunning scenery, hot beaches, flowing food markets of Far Eastern delights, and historic temples. Many exclusive photo shoots took place capturing the Asian flavour and it’s surroundings, Tiësto seemed very relaxed and very well taken care of throughout the whole tour. The people of Asia welcome tourists in such a way that it becomes a ‘home from home’.

Interviews & Press Conferences
The Asia Tour DVD implements many key factors, including exclusive interviews, press conferences and personal talks with Asia’s leading industry people. I especially enjoyed the interviews that Tiësto had with the press, his honest answers and moral fibre was plain to see throughout. For example, Tiesto explains how tough travelling can be and how much easier and more enjoyable it has become now he has the right people alongside him. Throughout the interview you are given examples of the fun Tiësto experiences with his team, Dimtri de Wit being the main funny guy – it certainly made me giggle, the guy is a genius – Tiësto shares the secrets of becoming successful, whilst dropping tips for other DJ’s, furthermore describing the best parts of being a world renowned DJ – It’s all very interesting.

Gigs
The progression throughout each gig was superb, starting of with the smaller club and then in to the largest, this DVD takes you through the atmosphere that each club creates, and clearly shows that whether it be a small club or a large one you can still create dance floor havok. Asia clearly loves Tiësto, the crowds within each session danced larger than life, screamed louder and louder and threw everything in to enjoying the night. Asia certainly knows how to create a crazy vibe, and banging party. Each night offered superb lighting, masses of atmosphere and a full house, not to mention many beautiful bodies on the dance floor, perfectly toned, tanned and up for it people, what more could you ask for? One club in particular had a huge robot that danced throughout the crowd, it was amazing to watch. All of the above was topped of with lots of alcoholic fluid – Nice

Photo shoots
The back drop scenes throughout the photo shoots were immense, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such surroundings in my life, the colours, the historic buildings, the ocean, halcyon beaches and stunning country views, the photographer took some beautiful shots. Tiesto stated that Taiwan was such a magical place, everyone should at least visit once in their lifetime, and after watching this DVD I would have to agree.

Funny Moments & Time out
Tiësto managed to grab some time out to appreciate the places he was visiting, which gave the camera crew the perfect opportunity to give you an insight of the real beauty that surrounded the tour, you get to see the historic temples, food markets, and everyday things to do in Asia. Of an evening Tiësto eats at ‘Sushi Ko‘ and enjoys the night life with his team, sometimes unsure Tiësto goes all out to try the most exotic Sushi dishes, the facial expressions of Tiësto and his team are quite revealingly funny. The best part for me was when Dimtri decided to do a bungee jump, you actually get to see ‘Dimitri’s special moment’, note the comment Tiësto makes about this afterwards. There was something else that did a bungee that night, my response was one of ‘WTF’, but I won’t spoil it for you. The snippets of character included within this DVD, have made the whole watch that little more human whilst encouraging many smiles along the way. – Great touch

ISOS Recording studio
The ISOS recording studio is one of pure muse, the room itself is centre staged for production which opens out to the most spectacular and dream like setting, one which any DJ would be more than happy to reside in for hours on end. You are walked in to the room with Tiësto behind the decks, the sounds filtering through inspired by the harmonious views are breathtaking. It’s truly surreal.

Tiesto
What strikes me about Tiësto is how grounded he really is, this DVD really exposes the human behind this name ‘Tiësto’, even though he is one of the worlds most prestigious names within the scene, his mentality and personality remains solid. Tiësto shares his most important morals in life, he explains how much he enjoys meeting new fans and people, experiencing the differences between cultures, and languages, whilst also talking about how he keeps those given experiences close to his heart at all times throughout his career. Tiësto has shown me this evening that even still he appreciates the support from his fans and close colleagues, and his passion for music will remain forever.

To quote the man himself after finishing the mixing sessions at Kui Buri: “When I played the last record, the whole ‘Elements of Life Tour’ went through my head again, and for me it’s definitely been a tour I will never forget.”

Join Tiësto on the journey through the Far East as he plays some of the best clubs Asia has to offer in this exclusive copy of the Asia Tour DVD.

The producer says he will not be involved anymore with In Search Of Sunrise, one of the most admired compilations of trance music. “Having taken the ISOS series as far as I could, I felt it was time to leave the past behind and come with something fresh and new. ISOS was an incredible journey for me, but as my music taste evolved, I wanted my DJ mix compilation to evolve with it. Black Hole plans to release another ISOS album, but to be very clear, I will not be involved in any way. I sold my part of the company to Arny Bink and have no involvement or benefits of Black Hole Recordings.”

Tiesto says the mix album has always been a very important part of his artistic expression as a DJ, therefore, it needs to evolve.

“I am very happy to let everyone know that the title of this mix album will be ‘A New Dawn’, a name that means so much to me personally and signifies so many things in so many ways. It’s been an awakening in more ways than one! These past two years, I have been on a musical journey of discovery, culminating in my album and world tour with Kaleidoscope. Now with ‘A New Dawn’ I look forward to continuing that process, showcasing some amazing cutting edge electronic music from myself and others. As I continue to explore and develop as an artist and DJ, I am constantly inspired by those around me and the other artists I meet. I can’t wait to share it with the world!”

Black Hole Recordings announced In Search Of Sunrise 8 will now be mixed by the talented Richard Durand, which will take the sound to a whole different direction. This will be interesting.

A New Dawn is scheduled to be released this Autumn.

Tiësto announced that he will be returning to Privilege in Ibiza for a summer residency with his now legendary Monday night marathon sets. This will be Tiësto’s third year at the world’s biggest nightclub, and promises to be yet another spectacular summer!

Tiësto’s Ibiza experience in 2010 will once again see the Dutchman push the boundaries of what fans can expect from a live DJ experience. Special guests include Avicii, Dada Life, David Tort and Robbie Rivera, plus more to be announced!

Tiësto explains:
‘I have been on a musical journey of discovery these past few years, culminating in the release of my Kaleidoscope album. I met and worked with so many great artists that it has inspired me to continue to push myself and my music into new areas. Much of what became the Kaleidoscope album came out of experimenting in Ibiza last year. The positive energy at Privilege last summer continued into the world tour and has been truly amazing.

It’s been so great to see a lot of new faces at the shows and to feel that connection with my fans. With the Privilege residency it feels like a homecoming of sorts, the closing of the circle. I love this island and I love this club, it allows me to be myself and take my music in any direction I want. So all I can say for 2010, is I guarantee two things: Expect the unexpected, and expect to dance!’

OPENING: MONDAY June 7, 2010

The Vengaboys have just announced that Tiësto wins TMF Dance Award 2010.

Netherlands is obviously county number one in the dance scene. And it was also exciting in the award category ”TMF Dance Award” simply because there were many good Dutch DJs, but DJ Tiësto was the luckiest.

With Tiësto in this category were : Armin van Buuren, Chuckie, and Sidney Samson. Unfortunately Tiesto could not personally attend at the TMF Awards because he is currently touring the world.
