TIESTO レコード& CD

Review: Tiesto is one of the world's biggest and most recognisable artists by anyone's standards - he's played live at Disneyland Paris, for goodness sake - and he has a massive catalogue of hits that never go out of favour with his fans. One of the biggest is 'Traffic' from 2003, a tech trance classic that was, at the time, the first instrumental tune in 23 years to climb all the way to the top of the charts in his native Netherlands. It features samples of Sean Deason's 'Psykofu' and appeared on his album Just Be and Parade of the Athletes. It has been newly remastered for this fresh 2023 reissue.

Review: Tiesto's 'Lethal Industry' reissue brings back the iconic trance anthem with a fresh new take that explores both its true, original vibe, as well as its contemporary 21st-Century versions. A must-have for any trance fan, the EDM megastar's original is happily pure, with remnants of amen breaks and alien transitions driving a piquant lead synth ever-forward. Meanwhile, remixes from Mauro Picotto, Svenson & Gielen, Fred Numf and Etienne Overdijk pay their due respects, while also nodding to speed garage and even deeper shades of trance.
