Globally, Tiësto is best known for being the first DJ to play live at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games and voted "Best DJ in the World" consecutive 3 times in a row by DJ magazine as well as his seminal production credits। Verwest will be permanently attached to his Tiësto alias, an Italian twist of his childhood nickname, and this acclaimed remix that brought him into the strata of world-renowned DJs. As of May 2006 Tiësto is the official worldwide ambassador for the Dance4Life foundation, fighting the spread of AIDS/HIV, for which he recorded the track dance4life. Such a socially responsible DJ, yes that’s the world how I describe about The LORD OF TRANCE.
