If it's Wednesday it must be Latvia. Tonight Tiësto plays to 15,000 dance enthusiasts and music fans in the Baltic State. Already this week the legendary Dutch DJ has wowed the Balearic masses at his summer-long Monday residency at Privilege. Tomorrow he's off to Italy. The day after, Greece.
This is very much business as usual for Tiësto, the ultra-busy DJ who turned the playing of trance music into an artform and whose achievements are unsurpassed.
Inspired by the likes of U2, he invested heavily in the live aspect of his sets, employing his own sound, light and visual crews, creating arena-friendly dance music spectaculars. In 1997 he formed his own label, Black Hole Recordings, to release both the records he made himself and ones made by likeminded electronica visionaries. He has been nominated for a Grammy, had worldwide hit singles (his remix of Delerium's Silence featuring Sarah McLachlan; Dance4Life featuring Faithless's Maxi Jazz), performed at the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics with music he composed especially for the occasion, wowed the rock festival crowds at Coachella, and remixed the likes of The Killers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party. He is, in short, the biggest DJ in the world.
'Because people care,' is Tiësto's response when asked to account for his huge success, 'and they see that I care. I'm very honest in what I do. It's not an act or a gimmick. It's pure, it's emotion.'
When you see me DJ you know I feel it and I love what I do. The real thing. When you see me play you know you are seeing someone who plays not because he has to but because he loves it. For this champion of the people, it's not just about his undeniable ability to create a party in any venue, large or small, in any place in the world, but also about how the music moves people. Makes them feel something. People write letters saying, 'I was going through a bad period but your music and your show made me feel good.'

In 1999 werd met de release van het album Nu Cool, het merk Hed Kandi geboren. Een geheel eigen, toegankelijke muziekstijl die classy clubsounds, funky house, de beste live muzikanten en spectaculair live entertainment vertegenwoordigt. Elke maand wordt er een nieuw album uitgebracht, waarvan de teller inmiddels op ruim 95 uitgebrachte cd’s staat. Bekende albumnamen zijn onder andere Disco Kandi, Disco Heaven, Beach House en Nu Disco. Wereldwijd gaan er dan ook jaarlijks meer dan 1 miljoen Hed Kandi albums over de toonbank!
Het exclusief voor Hed Kandi ontworpen artwork door mode-illustrator Jason Brooks, wordt wereldwijd door iedereen herkend. Alle ontwerpen zijn geïnspireerd op de sexy en zomerse Ibiza feeling, waar Hed Kandi om bekend staat. Inmiddels is het merk een volwaardig lifestyle brand te noemen met een eigen kledinglijn (ontworpen door Jason Brooks) en wereldwijd eigen radioshows, welke in Nederland iedere vrijdagavond op Hitradio te beluisteren is.
De feesten van het vrolijke maar zeer stijlvolle Hed Kandi worden jaarlijks wereldwijd door 1.000.000 mensen bezocht en vinden plaats in hippe clubs in onder andere London, Shanghai, Barcelona, Melbourne, Parijs, Las Vegas en in de zomer wekelijks in SPACE op party-eiland Ibiza.
