7:00pm May 1st, Festival Hall, West Melbourne.
He's touring in Melbourne! And I managed to get tickets for it!
I should've got the May 2nd one and I was so regretful of I didn't... And neddless to say it's already sold out...
I've known him from "Lethal Industry" and "Magik" in the velfarre Cyber Trance series back in my high school days. Although that one is real impressive, I didn't recognize him as good among a bunch of world-honored artists like Ferry Corsten, Darren Tate, Barthezz, Above and Beyond, Svenson and Gilelen, Balloon, Yoji Biomehanika etc etc. Well you may think none of the above is comparable with Tiësto except Ferry Corsten nowadays, those are the first recognized trance artists by me anyway as their works are just too fantastic to forget. And yes these ones that I regard are almost all from Belgium and Netherlands, as you might have noticed.
After some extended and in-depth listening I started to recognize artists from other European countries, along with a long list of Mauro Picotto, Paul van Dyk, Mike Koglin, Ramon Zenker (Fragma), Groove Coverage, Lab 4, Future Breeze etc, and of course some more artists from Belgium and Netherlands like PUSH, Minimalistix and, Tiësto.
"Traffic" is the piece that made Tiësto the first-order DJ's that I regard. Groove, energetic and impulsive, all the factors you will ever need to perfect a trance and make it an unforgettable one. I'd been humming the theme for several days after the first time I hear that. And, it is until now, one of the best ever trance I've heard, along with "Sunlight" by DJ Sammy, "The Beauty of Silence" by Svenson and Gielen, "Ligaya" by Gouryella and "Look @ the Heaven" by Yoji Biomehanika etc. I desperately wish this one will appear on the show!
"Elements of Life" is his latest album, and I think I am yet to hear enough to give a comment, but for my first impression, this one is calmer and not as passionate except the last track "He's a Pirate". I have to admit that I'm bit of disappointed... But anyway I hope I will have fun on the show. No matter how I feel of the new release, the tickets' more than worth it as long as I hear "Traffic" live.
