==History== |
||
===Tijs Verwest / Black Hole Recordings / ISOS (1985-1999)=== |
|||
Tijs Verwest began DJing professionally at school parties and then moved on to become a resident DJ between [[1985]] and [[1994]] at several clubs in [[The Netherlands]].<ref>http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=2103545074</ref> During these years, he produced [[hardcore techno|hardcore]]/[[gabber]] tracks under aliases such as Da Joker and DJ Limited.<ref>http://www.lastfm.jp/music/Ti%C3%ABsto?setlang=jp</ref> However, it was at [http://www.spockbreda.nl/ The Spock], a small club in [[Breda]], where he was able to fine-tune his own style by playing in a separate room from 10 pm until 4 am on weekends.<ref>http://www.famousdjs.com/biographies/tiesto.htm</ref> In the mid [[1990s]], he started to produce trance,<ref>http://www.lastfm.jp/music/Ti%C3%ABsto?setlang=jp</ref> and in [[1997]] he and Arny Bink co-founded [[Black Hole Recordings]] to support his work releasing a series of singles under various aliases.<ref>http://www.myspace.com/blackholerecordings</ref> Black Hole Recordings and its sub-label Magik Muzik continue to sign Tiësto's vision of trance – producing musicians and DJs such as [[Cor Fijneman]], [[Ton TB]], and [[Mark Norman (DJ)|Mark Norman]] and also Joe Cheang.<ref>http://www.blackholerecordings.com/label/magik%20muzik</ref> Tiësto began releasing the [[In Search of Sunrise]] series, ISOS is a compilation of Tiësto's mixes with tracks of other DJ's which included a variety of tracks. |
|||
===Furry Years=== |
|||
===Tiësto Solo / Tiësto In Concert / DJ Magazine (1999-2004) === |
|||
There is no definitive date as to when Aaron Gillespie started The Almost. He made a music space for The Almost on October 1, 2005 before he had released any of the songs to the public. |
|||
Tiësto's fame started to rise in the late 1990s after his set at the first [[ID&T]] [[Innercity]] party, and it continued to skyrocket in the early 2000s following his six-hour "Tiësto Solo" sets which he performed without other DJs or opening acts. This idea, of one DJ playing alone to a large crowd, was brought to its pinnacle when Tiësto was the first DJ to hold a solo concert in a stadium; on [[May 10]] [[2003]], he performed for over 25,000 people in [[Arnhem]]'s [[Gelredome]]. Dubbed "Tiësto in Concert", the event was an enormous success. He repeated the same type of concert the following year during two consecutive nights in late October. In addition to holding these two concerts for 35,000 of his fans, he held another concert for a crowd of 20,000 in [[Hasselt|Hasselt, Belgium]] the following week. [[DVD]]s of both his [[May 10]] [[2003]] and [[October 30]] [[2004]] concerts have been released. In 2002, 2003 and 2004 Tiësto was crowned as "No. 1. DJ in the World" by [[DJ Magazine]] (UK) thanks to the release of [[In My Memory]] his first solo album released in 2001. |
|||
On October 4, 2005 at 11:59 PM, he released two of his songs which were the demos for "I Mostly Like To Copy Other People" and "They Say You Can Never Write I Told You So In A Song So Here I Go". |
|||
===Parade of the Athletes / Tiësto In Concert US / Dance4Life (2004-2007)=== |
|||
Globally, Tiësto is known for being the first DJ to play live at an [[Olympic games]] opening ceremony, at the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]]. During the course of his performance the Dutch athletes started dancing in front of the DJ booth and had to be moved on by officials. A condensed studio-recorded rerun of his Olympic set, including new songs especially composed for the occasion, was released as a nonstop mix-CD entitled ''[[Parade of the Athletes]]'' in October 2004. In the liner notes, he noted the IOC requested to him that the music not contain any lyrics as they could be inadvertently misinterpreted. |
|||
Aaron worked with Kenny Vasoli to record a song called "Yule Be Sorry" for [[Happy Christmas Volume 4]] on [[Tooth & Nail Records]]. It was in stores on October 25, 2005. |
|||
On [[August 20]] [[2005]] Verwest took "Tiësto in Concert" to the United States when he played to thousands of fans in [[Los Angeles, California]] in the [[Los Angeles Sports Arena]]. For the second year in a row he performed live for a New Year's Eve/New Year's concert in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]] at the [[Orleans Arena]] to a sell-out crowd. Despite his four-city [[United States|American]] tour being postponed due to the hurricane damage in [[New Orleans]] and [[Miami]], playing such cities in the United States further expanded and cemented his popularity among more mainstream audiences. In the fall of 2005 he went on a very successful tour across [[Central Europe|Central]] and [[Eastern Europe]] where he played once in each country to crowds of 10,000 to 15,000 fans. Stops were made in [[Slovakia]], [[Serbia]], [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]], [[Romania]], [[Hungary]], the [[Czech Republic]], [[Turkey]],[[Croatia]] , and [[Poland]] . Tiësto also performed at the UNITY festival in [[South Africa]] where he played a show at the Gallagher Estate Arena in [[Midrand, Gauteng|Midrand]], a suburb of [[Johannesburg]], to over 18,000 fans. However, the United States tour that was part of "Tiësto in Concert" was dwarfed by his apperance at [[Sensation White]] in 2006 where he performed to over 45,000 people in the world's biggest dance event in [[Amsterdam]], [[Holland]]. Even this was surpassed later in the same summer where some 250,000 people danced on [[Ipanema]] Beach, [[Brazil]], the second largest concert in the history of mankind.<ref>http://www.abcprague.com/2007/11/21/tiestos-other-concert-prague</ref> |
|||
On November 7, 2006, The Almost released their first song from their debut album on the Tooth & Nail [[podcast]]. The song was called "Johnny Cash" but since then the song name has been switched to "Southern Weather", but now is called "[[Say This Sooner]]". The band also was a part of [[Warped Tour 2007]]. |
|||
In 2006 Tiësto collaborates with [[Dance4Life]] by making everyone be aware about [[HIV/AIDS]]. DJ Tiësto as one of the foundation's ambassador has helped the organization with fundraising. It consists on a better way of living in exchange of entertainment to the young crowd. |
|||
Aaron wrote all of the songs himself while recording ''[[Define the Great Line]]'' with Underoath. |
|||
===Cineac / Elements Of Life Tour / Tiësto's Club Life (2007-Present)=== |
|||
On [[April 6]] [[2007]] Tiësto began presenting a new weekly two-hour radio show called "[[Tiësto's Club Life]]" on Dutch radio station [[Radio 538]]. [[XM Satellite Radio]] in the United States later started broadcasting the show on Channel 81 [[BPM (XM)|BPM]] as part of their "Global Domination" lineup on Saturday nights. The show is broadcast on Radio 538 on Friday nights between 22:00 [[Central European Time|CET]] and midnight and on BPM on Saturday nights between 8:00 PM [[Eastern Standard Time|EST]] and 10:00 PM EST. The first hour is also available as a podcast on the Radio 538 website. |
|||
In late May 2007 the international DJ scene was in a state of alarm after a Lebanese site, [[Ya Libnan]], announced that Dutch DJ Tiësto would be targeted by the radical islamist group [[Fatah al-Islam]]. There would exist plans to kill DJ Tiësto during his DJ set in [[Byblos]] on Monday [[July 2]] at the [[Eddé Sands Hotel & Resort]]. This announcement was later retracted as spurious and based on rumours.<ref>[http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=23521_0_2_0_C Murder attempt on DJ Tiësto reveals to be a hoax]</ref><ref>[http://yalibnan.com/site/archives/2007/05/ya_libnan_withd.php Ya Libnan withdraws false information on Tiësto's death threats]</ref> Tiësto completed the Byblos gig which turned out to be a huge success and according to Ya Libnan it has "officially become the biggest event in Lebanon’s history" breaking the venue's previous record of 16,000 by several thousand – at 2 a.m. the Eddé Sands beach and the neighbouring beach had reached maximum capacity and thousands had to be turned away having to watch from nearby roads and surrounding areas, at this party 18,000 people bought the tickets to watch the concert.In the mean time 23,000 people were outside the zone hearing and dancing on the streets, the people were standing at the last place that the sound can be heard and dancing on the new album "Elements Of Life" his newest success<ref>[http://yalibnan.com/site/archives/2007/07/amazing_tiesto.php Amazing Tiesto Resurrects Lebanon's Nightlife]</ref> |

|||
On [[July 4]] [[2007]], Tiësto failed to show up at his scheduled [[Elements of Life]] tour concert in [[Bahrain]]'s capital [[Manama]]. Without prior warning, the DJ left a crowd of over 3000 fans waiting until the closing hours. Ticket prices went up to $250, and fans from across the region flew in to Bahrain just to attend the concert. The concert was clearly scheduled on his website, and tickets were still being sold until the last moment by local organizers Prime Time Entertainment and promoter [[Ayman Al Hamad]]. Apparently, Tiësto waited until the final hours to get paid in full by the organizers prior to his performance, but according to Tiësto himself they never did. Shortly before closing moments, the crowd started rioting demanding Tiësto's appearance, which forced the local police to intervene.<ref>[http://lebinbah.wordpress.com/2007/07/05/dj-tiesto-you-should-be-ashamed DJ Tiesto you should be ashamed]</ref><ref>[http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=187030&Sn=BNEW&IssueID=30108 Fans riot after DJ 'no show']</ref><ref>[http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/79551.html Clashes as DJ Tiesto fails to show up for Bahrain performance]</ref> On [[July 6]] Tiësto provided an explanation of what had happened on his website. Later, promoter Ayman Al Hamad told Bahrain's [[Gulf Daily News]] newspaper that Tiësto was very stupid for the statements he provided on his website, and that he believes that the DJ refused to perform because he was expecting more than 3000 fans to show up at his debut in Bahrain. Ayman also said that the DJ was offered the full payment in parts of different currencies, but refused to receive part of the payment in [[Bahraini Dinar]] because Tiësto was not willing to recognize it as a valid currency. Al Hamad strongly refuses Tiësto claim that there was nobody to transport him from his hotel to the venue: "Even if I didn't have a car for him any of the fans would be happy to offer one of theirs." He has announced that legal action will be taken against Tiësto and is also urging witnesses who took photographs or videos of the melee to come forward to assist the ongoing investigation into what did in fact take place. According to the news article Prime Time Entertainment had paid Tiësto 18,000 euros in advance to cover his private jet expenses.<ref>{{cite news |title= DJ 'refused to perform over cash'all of this is horseshit!!!!!! |url= http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=187111&Sn=BNEW&IssueID=30109 |work= [[Gulf Daily News]] |publisher= |date= July 7, 2007 |accessdate=2007-07-07 }}</ref> |
|||
On [[August 23]] [[2007]], during the Winnipeg stop on Tiësto's [[Elements of Life]] tour concert in [[Manitoba]]'s capital [[Winnipeg]], a bomb threat was called in to local authorities, prompting an immediate shut down of the concert in the middle of Tiësto's set. Amid fears that a riot would ensue, the Winnipeg Police Department dispatched over 20 cruisers from around the city to control the crowd. The crowd did not turn violent despite fears they would and the party continued outside when local [[buskers]] began to play. The building was searched and cleared and Tiësto resumed his set around 1 am.<ref>[http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=524bf82c-f3cb-40ec-b861-d43798ae3670&k=93035 Winnipeg concert goers evacuated after bomb threats]</ref> |
|||
Tiësto and [[Reebok]] introduce the new Tiësto shoe on [[November]] [[2007]], The shoebox comes with a special limited-edition Tiësto & [[Reebok]] CD, containing rare and exclusive remixes from the [[Elements of Life]] album. Only 1000 pair units were sold. Previously Tiësto & [[Reebok]] had released "Run the DJ Tiësto", which consisted of another shoe release with Tiësto as one of the designers. |
|||
[[Cineac]], Tiësto's new Club-Restaurant acquisition with Chinese cuisine, Dance music and Live Entertainment was opened [[June 7]] [[2007]]. Tiësto inaugurated with his new Cineac Anthem called Happy People. Guests are welcome to see various modern styles of music mixed by some known top DJs. |

The Almost |
|---|
The Almost is an alternative rock band from Tampa Bay, Florida, most notable for being the side project of Underoath drummer/vocalist Aaron Gillespie.
Southern Weather
Their debut record, Southern Weather, was released on April 3 2007, and was recorded in February and March 2006. The first single, "Say This Sooner", can be heard at The Almost's PureVolume and MySpace pages, along with "I Mostly Copy Other People" and the demo version of "Never Say I Told You So" (originally named "They Say You Can Never Write I Told You So In A Song But Here I Go"). Aaron recorded every instrument on the album, except for bass on a couple of tracks, with which Kenny Vasoli from The Starting Line helped. Aaron is the current drummer for underoath.
The Almost released their first video for "Say This Sooner" on March 19, 2007. The video premiered on MTV2's UNLEASHED, which ran all day long on the hour. The video is also available on MTV2's website.
The Almost embarked on the "It's All Happening" tour from December 17 to January 20, 2006, joined by Jay Vilardi (guitar), Dusty Redmon (guitar), Alex Aponte (bass) and Kenny Bozich (drums). The tour showcased new songs from the upcoming recording of Southern Weather.
Since The Almost has formed, the band has reached almost 10,000,000 plays on their MySpace music page and the band's song "Say This Sooner" has reached number one most played on all of PureVolume.
A video has been made for the second single Southern Weather. It can be seen on the band's Myspace.
History
Furry Years
There is no definitive date as to when Aaron Gillespie started The Almost. He made a music space for The Almost on October 1, 2005 before he had released any of the songs to the public.
On October 4, 2005 at 11:59 PM, he released two of his songs which were the demos for "I Mostly Like To Copy Other People" and "They Say You Can Never Write I Told You So In A Song So Here I Go".
Aaron worked with Kenny Vasoli to record a song called "Yule Be Sorry" for Happy Christmas Volume 4 on Tooth & Nail Records. It was in stores on October 25, 2005.
On November 7, 2006, The Almost released their first song from their debut album on the Tooth & Nail podcast. The song was called "Johnny Cash" but since then the song name has been switched to "Southern Weather", but now is called "Say This Sooner". The band also was a part of Warped Tour 2007.
Aaron wrote all of the songs himself while recording Define the Great Line with Underoath.
