FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE– APRIL 2, 2008

“In Search of Sunrise - Summer Tour 2008”
Tiësto
Tiësto's career is punctuated by landmark achievements – the first DJ in the world to sell out a solo stadium event for over 25,000 people 2 nights in a row, scoring a number one hit with his single “Traffic,” the first instrumental track to reach the top spot in his homeland of Holland in 23 years. His remix of “Delerium” featuring Sarah McLachlan's “Silence” was the first house track ever broadcast on daytime radio in North America, (it became an international dancefloor anthem and also spent eight weeks in the UK Top 10 chart). He played live in front of billions of people during the Parade of the Athletes at the official opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Athens. But despite his meteoric success, Tiësto remains grounded about his achievements and clearly loves making and playing music above the accolades it brings.
Praised from all corners of the world, Tiësto has gone beyond the status of DJ star and stands out as a first rate artist of the pop music universe. The DJ who started out in small clubs in his native Holland has not turned his back on his origins. Always true to the esthetics of the underground scene, Tiësto has no equal when striking a perfect balance between the power of great hits and the vital subtlety of more obscure or unreleased titles. Trance, house, techno and progressive sound mix indiscriminately during his energetic performances. Also renowned for his production albums – Elements of Life, In My Memory, Just Be and Parade of the Athletes (Athens, 2004) – as well as for his popular serial compilation mixes Magik and In Search Of Sunrise, the studio genius is the source of the great success of the famous Silence (Delerium feat. Sarah Mclachlan) remix and of his version of Adagio For Strings (Samuel Barber).
This Toronto event is part of the famous “In Search of Sunrise” series mixed by Tiësto and released annually on his Black Hole Recordings label., which has featured Ibiza, Los Angeles, Panama and Latin America as destinations and currently in its seventh release. Don’t miss Tiësto when he performs live in Toronto for the first time in nearly two years for a special Canada Day weekend event at the Richo Coliseum on Tuesday, June 30th, 2008.
