Breda, The Netherlands (1994 – present)

Tijs Michiel Verwest (born January 17, 1969 in Breda, The Netherlands) is better known by his stage name Tiësto. He started out DJing professionally at school parties, and then moved on to become a resident DJ from 1985 to 1993 at several clubs in The Netherlands. It was at a club called ‘The Spock’ where things really took off for Tiësto; he stopped producing hardcore/gabber tracks and started to produce his own sound from 10pm until 4am on weekends. In the mid 1990s, Tiësto started to produce trance and the rest, as they say, is history.

Musical career
He had an interest for music since the age of twelve. When he was fourteen he decided to dedicate more time to it and began DJing professionally at school parties and then moved on to become a resident DJ between 1985 and 1994 at several clubs in the Netherlands after his manager and friend Wilfred encouraged him. However, it was at The Spock, a small club in Breda, where he was able to fine-tune his own style by playing in a separate room from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. on weekends.] In the beginning of his career as DJ he mostly played new beat and acid house, and many Madonna songs because her music shows that she likes to dance. Before the release of her album there were already dancemixes like “Vogue” which was one of the songs of Spock.

In 1994 he began releasing material on Noculan Records’ sub-labels Chemo and Coolman. During these years, he produced hardcore/gabber tracks under aliases such as Da Joker and DJ Limited.

ich war vor kurzem in frankfurt, als er aufgelegt hat.. und ich muss sagen, dass er mir sowie launen- als auch musiktechnisch gar nicht gefallen hat. es wird bestimmt leute geben, die seinen neuen sound toll finden, ich hätte aber gerne seine alte musik wieder..

As soon as someone's played a lot on the radio they become a sellout (well, most of the time). Look at what's happening to Swedish House Mafia...
