Sound Of Now Radio EP027 / SPECIAL GUEST : TIESTO [NL]

I’ve always been a strong supporter of Mikael Weermets, and so my praise of him might seem excessive, but I assure you he deserves every bit of it. This is the 27th episode of Sound of Now Radio, and it features special guest Tiesto! If the number one DJ in the world is down to work with this guy, then you probably check it out. I’ll let the 2 hour long cast do all the convincing. Enjoy

Tiësto’s In The Booth Episode 10

Concluding the first series of Tiësto‘s In The Booth, Episode 10 travels to Los Angeles for the biggest U.S. DJ gig in history. 26,000 fans visited the Home Depot Center to watch Tiësto to play, which is very very impressive. Overall I think the series was very insightful and useful for providing fans/other artists a glimpse into how much work, travel, and fun goes into the job as one of the biggest DJs ever. Looking forward to see where they take the next installment of the series.

Tiësto’s In The Booth Episode 9

The College Invasion Tour episode! Taking place last fall, Tiësto and Porter Robinson toured University campuses mainly on both the east and west coast, and saw a huge positive response. This episode helps to highlight just how integrated electronic dance music is with today’s youth. Two points the video made that are completely relavent is first that Electronic Music has been mainstream around the world for some time now, and America is finally catching up! The second statement was that news, television, and radio in the US have all done a poor job of responding to and reporting this huge movement. Tiësto says that the scene movement is still technically underground, and I would agree but it certainly is making a break for pushing out- and very soon I might add! Cheers to electronic music and PLUR! ❤

Tiësto’s In The Booth Episode 4

The fantastic series continues to deliver. I know big artists travel the world and have hectic schedules but playing in 2 continents in one day is insane. Tip of the hat to you Mr. Tiësto.

Tiësto’s In The Booth Episode 3

Did you know Tiësto basically keeps all his personal possessions in 2 suitcases? Neither did I, and I found that really astonishing in this third episode of the series. Featuring a closer look at his roots in Holland, influences, and rise keeps the series pleasantly surprising!

Tiësto’s In The Booth- Episode 2

Just as quickly as Episode 1 arrived, out comes Episode 2! This episode delves into shows played in Las Vegas over the summer, and illustrates the man we hold in such high regards is really just as human as we are. Tiësto expresses he still has nerve and anxiety before each show, as well as feeling more comfortable playing at night. Very interesting. Check it yo.

Tiësto’s In the Booth – Episode 1

Well that sure was quick! Here’s Tiësto‘s first episode documenting his shows and behind the scenes works! This intro episode portrays the high-energy, fast paced, and occasionally unpredictable lifestyle he lives on and off the set. The forthcoming episodes should slow down a bit and give us a better inside scoop of how he goes about doing what he does best. Without further adieu, I present Episode 1.

1st Ever Live Broadcast on Twitter hosted by Tiësto!


This is big. This is real big people! Even as a person such as myself who questions social media outlets and some of Tiësto’s moves at times, I can see that he just made history- and that other artists are soon to follow. Wednesday night in Las Vegas, the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was held. The kicker is that two computing giants HP and Intel worked together at their booth to produce with Tiësto the first ever live broadcast of a set on Twitter. Now in the past, Twitter has streamed broadcasts of various artists, but never have they done it live. Tiësto, HP, and Intel, all unveiled a new page setup on their pages where a small video player appeared as a tweet, and in unquestionably great quality. This will continue to bridge the gap between follower and artist, allowing real-time connectivity virtually anywhere. I’m incredibly interested to see where this will go! Check out a recap of the broadcast if you wish in the Ustream video! Cheers
