#TIESTO ELEMENTS OF LIFE TRACKS CODE#
The record derives its name from Breda’s area code which happens to be the birth place of these great collaborators. When two Breda residents joined forces, a minimal house banger was born and that is “Zero 76”. Long live electro.įeatured in the album “Elements of Life”, “Ten Seconds Before Sunrise” provides a serene and calm atmosphere whilst providing much needed footwork to any dance audience. Heavy basslines and electro inspired synthesizers really kept the crowd going. Maximal Crazy is one of the best electro tracks ever made. This was also the title track for his fourth studio album. This track was the product of Tiësto experimenting with the newly born electro back in 2009 and is considered as one of the final trance masterpieces delivered by the legend. Its anthem-like atmosphere is what makes it stand out from the rest. This track is often played at many sporting events. This record is one of the most iconic intro tracks and also amongst the most used intro tracks by Tiësto. Tiësto & The Chainsmokers – Split (Only U) “Love Comes Again” was released under his massively successful album “Just Be” and for any Electronic music fan from the Trance era, this is staple music. This track also hit the Billboard top 40 in 2015. It was played all across the radio and is still played by Tiësto in almost every set. This collaboration between Tiesto and then rising star KSHMR featuring Vassy’s mysterious vocals is not an ordinary track. We also decided to not rank them because they are equally good in their own ways. This legend has always pushed out masterpieces and graced the community from time to time and we decided to list twenty such tracks that really hit the home run for us. He was also the first DJ to perform at Olympics. He continues to do the very same every single year. He always found new talents and as a result of that, superstar DJs like Martin Garrix, Hardwell and Avicii were seen on the main-stage delivering massive tunes. Tiësto is often referred to as the “Godfather of electronic dance music” and that too for fairly good reasons. This legend not only stood the test of time but also continued to deliver solid performances till date. But, for what it's worth, it's as technically accomplished and accessible an album as you'd expect from one of the world's most commercially successful DJ/producers.Tiësto is a name that resonates within the hearts of many in the electronic dance music community. Underground or unique Elements of Life is not. "Driving to Heaven" and "Bright Morning Star" are cliched and the remix of "He´s A Pirate" boasts little in the way of either charm, subtlety or originality.

The instrumentals fare worse than the vocal tracks. "Do You Feel Me?" (which features the ethereal vocals of Julie Thompson) and Break My Fall (with BT), don't hold the attention for quite so long, while the anti-AIDS campaign track "Dance4Life" (with Maxi Jazz) is derivative and sounds somehow out of place here. The moody, infectious Everything, featuring Motorcycle's Jes is also top-notch. Matching this standout is another vocal track, "Sweet Things", which combines Charlotte Martin's sultry, soaring voice with a driving rhythm and an ecstatic techno- trance floor-slayer. Lead single, "In the Dark", arguably one of the best tracks on the album, features a searing dance-rock atmosphere topped with a superlative vocal performance from Burns. Further, Tiesto has opened up his sound to incorporate splashes of minimal techno, house, film soundtracks - even rock. It's unsurprising, given this stream of lofty accomplishments, that Tiesto's third album Elements Of Life is both confident and ambitious.įollowing on fluently from his previous albums, Elements Of Life contains all of the tried and tested Tiesto signature sounds: namely, epic melodic trance hooks combined with melancholic introspection and moody cinematic bridges.īut there is a broader, more song-based approach evident too, underlined by the array of guest vocalists BT, Julie Thompson, Jes, and newcomer Christian Burns among them. He's also the first producer in 23 years to score an instrumental number one in Holland, with his hit single "Traffic".

He's the first DJ to play the Olympics the first to get a house record broadcast on North American daytime radio (his remix of Delerium's "Silence") and the first to sell out a solo stadium DJ gig to 25,000 people, two nights in a row.

Dutch trance don Tiesto has achieved more than his fair share of 'firsts' in recent times.
