Performing a dedicated trance set at Dreamstate SoCal on November 21st, Dutch legend Tiësto returned to his old habits, and in fact, threw his headphones into the crowd.
Having caused an absolute frenzy within the electronic dance community and not only, Tiësto followed the release of ‘Bring Me To Life’ alongside FORS, and of course his highly-anticipated return to trance, with a live performance at Dreamstate SoCal that truly ignited those roots in the most emphatic of manners. A special, dedicated trance set for the festival’s 10th anniversary, Tiësto could not refrain from going back to his old habits, and to everyone’s expectations, he once again threw his headphones in the crowd, for one lucky festival-goer to receive the ultimate of gifts from the greatest of acts to grace the dance industry as a whole.
A common practise during the early days of his career, when trance was also the prominent genre of choice, Tiësto may have taken a different musical direction in the last decade or so, however, his love for trance always remained, and much to the thrill of us all, he is now marking his return in a way that is quite simply put, sensational. Performing arguably his most iconic trance track ever, the Dutch legend had the crowd lost in the greatness of ‘Adagio for Strings,’ and as it was captivating every single attendee, it was then that he decided to fold his headphones and throw them right into the centre of that truly ecstatic and living in the moment crowd.
