The next novel for Tiesto’s collaborations and remixes in 2010 is with the best African Band BLK JKS.
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for SA indie band, BLK JKS. Firstly Rolling names them the best new African band, then they score themselves to SAMA nominations, they get added to the first ever, FIFA Kick-off concert bill on the 10th of June and now this. The guys will be mashing it up on stage at the Smirnoff Experience party in Jozi- and they’re doing so with world famous DJ Tiësto. The party goes down on the 15th of May. Can’t wait to hear the sound, the mash? Well the guys are hard at work with the mashup and while it will be premiered at the party, fans will get an opportunity to hear the track next month. I’ll keep you posted.
On the collaboration Tiësto says: “The chance to collaborate with BLK JKS, the most exciting new band from South Africa, is something I might not have done were it not for not for Smirnoff asking me to be part of the Smirnoff Experience™ ‘Mashup Street’ in South Africa. The concept of mixing and remixing music genres and cultures is something that continues to inspire me. I’m really excited to share the new track we’re making and the live show with the entire world.”

Tiësto and Smirnoff are doing a very special event together in South Africa! Become a fan of Smirnoff on Facebook for more details!
Today anounced in an interview with Kaskade at the Winter Music Conference was that Tiesto collaborated with Kaskade for a new song titled ‘Only You’.
Kaskade about the collaboration with Tiesto: “My sound and Tiesto’s sound, they are actually quite different, but there is some similarity to it,” Kaskade said. “I think melodically it makes a lot of sense, even though our production styles are very different, and it’s cool that he can recognize that. He’s always been a big supporter of my music, but he reached out to me, and I was like, ‘Dude, yeah, let’s do this, let’s kill it.’ I’m just really happy with the way it turned out.”
Kaskade is set to release his album Dynasty on May 11 where the song ‘Only You’ will be released on.
Tiesto has won two Winter Music Conference awards at the 25th anniversary of this event:
- WMC Awards Miami Trance Track: Tiësto & Sneaky Sound System – I Will Be Here

Final tour blog and top tracks from Tiësto posted on Mixmag 23th March 2010:
As Tiësto finishes off the UK leg of his world tour, he bids us farewell with a final blog from the road.
Saying goodbye to the UK and Ireland is going to be hard, especially after an intense weekend in Dublin and Birmingham. Dublin was one of the best shows of my life and I’m feeling tremendously inspired after playing there!
O2 Arena, which is the old Point, is an amazing venue, and I flew in just two days after St. Patty’s day. I cant imagine what that’s like in Ireland – maybe I should have flown in a little early to see everyone drinking green beer! The show was amazing; Ireland has always been one of my favourite places to play. The crowd is always so pumped for the music, which makes for a great vibe. Even a lot of my new songs, such as Escape Me and Century, were going off. Halfway through my set I decided to play a bootleg remix of my favorite bands… U2’s Sunday Bloody Sunday. The place went mad. Thanks Bono!
Following Dublin, I flew into Birmingham for my last UK show of the tour. I played at the LG Arena to a packed house. After Dublin, I didn’t think anyone could come close, but Birmingham brought their A game. I went on at 11 and ended up playing until almost 4AM! It was such a fun set for me. I was considering taking it to the dawn, but let my friend Virtual Vault take over and keep the crowd going for a few more hours. Following my set, I jumped over the security barriers and had a chance to get with people who I saw in the first few rows for the entire night. It’s one of my favourite ways to say goodbye to everyone!
These shows got me really excited for the rest of the year. I head to Miami and Mexico next week!

Tiesto has lend his song for the series ‘The Vampire Diaries’ probably to gain some extra income. Especially American series are popular since they are mostly broadcasted all over the world and when the soundtracks are released the songs from the series can be found on these cd’s.
The clip can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFouDTs7TA4
The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural–fantasy horror television series developed by Kevin Williamson, based on the book series of the same name by L. J. Smith. The series follows the life of Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who falls in love with vampire brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). The series also focuses on the lives of Elena’s friends and other inhabitants of the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. The series is a mix of teen drama and the supernatural.
Yet another new Tiesto remix this time of the band ‘Ou Est Le Swimming Pool’. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool is a british trio who love drum computers and dusty synths. Not very much can be found about them except their Myspace account.
Check out an exclusive clip from Tiësto’s brand new remix of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool on www.inthebooth.com or Ou Est Le Swimming Pool’s Myspace.
The song is available on iTunes the 29th of March 2010. The song is also remixed by Don Diablo and Armand van Helden.

In recent years, the Dutch DJ Tiësto remixed for a variety of names, which stylistically far removed from the trance-genre, the DJ otherwise known. Tiësto has taken among other singles with Editors, The Killers and Yeah Yeah Yeahs during treatment, and now is the turn of Danish Turboweekend.
The single can be purchased online from Monday 12th April, but Tiësto version of “Trouble Is” can over the next week heard the P3 program “Unga Bunga” with Kjeld Tolstrup and “Taste” with Le Gammeltoft and Nicholas Kawamura.
He’s taking the world by storm with his live shows, but at 41 DJ Tiësto prefers a decent night’s kip in favour of wild after-parties, he tells Katie Byrne.
In 2007, he played to some 200,000 people on Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, making it one of the largest outdoor concerts of all time.
Last summer, he became the only DJ to sell out a three-month residency at Privilege in Ibiza. He’s even been nominated for a Grammy. Trance DJ, Tiësto, doesn’t do things by halves. His epic concerts have gained renown for their staggering turn-outs, hypnotic light shows and anthemic sets. Even those oblivious to the dance-music genre would be rendered awestruck at the throbbing tribal gatherings that one man and a set of decks can command.
He is one of the few electronic DJs to crossover into the mainstream music market, pulling in audiences on a par with Madonna and the Rolling Stones. In the ego-led world of dance music, DJs and their promoters are quick to lash out the superlatives. Tiësto doesn’t need to. His CV speaks for itself. He is undoubtedly the biggest DJ in the world.
It’s a tag that intensifies the already obsessive hero-worship he receives. Visit his gig this Friday and you’re guaranteed to spot at least one sycophantic fan waving a poster reading: ‘Tiësto is God’. Scour the internet and you’ll find pictures of him signing women’s breasts.
Add to this an equally epic pay packet, VIP treatment and a string of brands vying to sign him up and you can imagine that Tijs Michiel Verwest likes being Tiësto quite a lot.
But does it go to his head? Is it difficult to ‘keep it real’ (the roundabout phrase I choose to ask him if he ever acts like an arsehole)?
“Sometimes it is, yeah,” he concedes. “You’re staying in a presidential suite in a hotel. They come every ten minutes checking you and bringing you all the food you like.
“It’s hard to stay down-to-earth, to keep it real. It’s so crazy that I ask for this and I get it.”
While he does have a tendency to self-mythologise — he brands his new album Kaleidoscope “a mark in time” — it comes from a love of his music, not himself. Otherwise he’s polite and, occasionally, quite charming.
I’m talking to him ahead of next Friday’s gig in Dublin, another coup for him in that he’ll be the very first DJ to headline at the O2 arena. It’s a gig he’s looking forward to, given his love for the Irish.
“I’m not saying this because you are Irish, but whenever the press ask me, I always say Ireland and Argentina are my favourite places to play. I love to play for Irish people — they go crazy.” High praise indeed, when you consider that he’s played all over the world.
His peripatetic lifestyle is also a nocturnal one. He once deemed himself a “party boy”, but his approach must be excess in moderation, at least according to the 41-year-old’s post-show protocol.
“I stay for an hour. Sometimes when it’s crazy I stay for two hours, but that’s about it. I go to bed one or two hours after my show and the next day I do it again.
“I eat very healthily; I drink a lot of water; I try to stay in shape. I’m not the crazy party DJ like some of them are. I don’t do drugs either, so that helps too. I have a very good body protection inside. When I get tired, I just sleep. I still make a good seven hours a night.”
He admits experimenting with drugs during his teenage initiation to dance music but he gave them up when he decided to carve out a career as a DJ. He does admit that drugs go hand-in-hand with dance music, but he reckons that fans are using less of them.
“In general, when kids go out, they love to experiment with drugs, whether it’s Marilyn Manson or Tiësto. Everyone takes drugs, everyone tries it, whether they smoke marijuana or take a pill.
“I’ve played gigs where there wasn’t even alcohol sold. I played at Disneyland in Paris a couple of years ago and there were just families with children and everyone was just sober as hell. No drugs, no alcohol. It was freezing cold and ten degrees and everyone was screaming and going crazy and having the best time.”
His no-drug stance has to be at least partly responsible for his success. Regular drug use dulls ambition and drive, traits that the Dutch DJ has in spades. Neither has he rested on his laurels, which become rather more comfy when you’re on a never-ending bender.
His remarkable staying power is also down to his impeccable timing and ability to predict the next trend. “My timing has been amazing,” he agrees. “I’ve been very lucky.”
He entered the industry two decades ago and he’s lost none of his enthusiasm. “I love my work and I love travelling around the world. You see a lot of artists out there who are not happy with themselves or the position that they are in. They think they are slipping. I feel I am still as popular as I was five or ten years ago.” And probably for another five or ten more.

For the UK leg of his world tour DJ Tiesto is blogging for Mixmag. Here’s his latest entry:
“My second weekend in the UK was fantastic, Three packed 3 shows: Thursday in London, Friday in Cardiff and last night in Liverpool.
In London I played at a historic venue called Brixton Academy. It’s one of those really cool old theatres with the large stair cases on the sides of the stage and the angled floor up to the back wall. I love the history of the place. It used to be a movie theater back in the 30’s, then bands started playing there years. All my favorite bands have played here at one time or another, so it was exciting to do a show here. The venue is smaller than than I usually play in London, but that made for a way more intimate evening. The show was great. It had it’s own pace and kept on building throughout the night. By the end of it, the energy was powerful. London is always a really busy city for me, a lot of friends and business to take care of in that city! My crew came out and helped me start the night off in the dressing room with champagne and they have a pool table in the dressing room. I’m pretty good with the stick!
Second city I played this weekend was Cardiff. Dada life opened for me tonight again, its great having those guys around on my UK Shows. They did 3 weeks with me in the US and its always a lot of fun. The stage was quite a maze to get to here, with make shift stairs coming from the dressing room to the stage. During my set, a large piece of my staging came loose and bumped the screens. Crazy!
Luckily the awesome crew in Cardiff got it fixed up quickly and the show went on with out a hitch.
My final show was in the city by the sea, Liverpool! I played at Echo Arena. It’s right on the water and has a beautiful view of the area, with a large ferris wheel is built in the parking lot next to the venue and at night it lit the whole area up. I saw similar ones in Melbourne and London. I guess everyone loves Ferris Wheels! Tonight was pretty crazy. The crowd was amazing, but I struggled a bit with some technical difficulties. My CD players kept on breaking and it drove me nuts! I saw a Dutch flag with my face on it that said ‘The King!’! Pretty great. I’ve seen that guy at several shows over the years, such a die-hard fan!
So much fun this weekend…now I finally get to go to Dublin! All I’ve heard for the last 2 weeks is how insane that show will be. It sold out a long time ago and it’s the biggest show we’re doing in the UK. Its also 2 days after St. Pattys Day, hopefully everyone’s still partying when I get there!”
