Tiesto

Theis Vervest's DJ career began when he was a teenager. Then the Dutchman played acid house and the then fashionable new beat in the Benelux. The first compositions of their own were published in 1994, and they were extremely far from the melodic trance with which Tiesto is usually associated. Then Theis, hiding under the names Da Joker, Tom Ace and DJ Limited, published the hard gabber, which was then popular in the Netherlands. Towards the end of the decade, Vervest switches to a more melodic sound: he founds his own label Black Hole and is involved in many projects, the most notable of which is a duet with Ferry Corsten called Goyrella. Tice's path to pop star status begins in 1999. He launches an annual series of trance mixes "In Search of Sunrise", becomes a resident of the Gatecrasher club, and also decides to concentrate on solo musical creativity. From now on, Tiesto, both as a musician and as a DJ, prefers the melodic "stadium" trance in the image that was promoted in the mid-nineties by Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk.
