Dutch DJ who played at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in Bethlehem Sunday night brought electronic music admirers together for a Club Life College Tour.<\/p>\n<p>I got dropped off 20 minutes before the show, that was set to start at 7:00 pm, feeling very much like William Miller from the movie Almost Famous when he was making his first appearance covering for the Rolling Stone Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>I found myself at the bar thinking back to my early memories of Ti\u00ebsto. It was in high school in South American, where I was raised, so the early 2000\u2019s electronic music was a thing in Latin America. As I made my way to the United States for college, electronic music felt foreign and was even told to \u201cturn it off\u201d at a college party my freshman year. Funny thing about it all, is by my senior year electronic music was suddenly making an appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the 90\u2019s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America,\u201d said Ti\u00ebsto.<\/p>\n<p>As I looked around the room it didn\u2019t look like a Ti\u00ebsto show. I was expecting glitter, flower crowns, colorful outfits, funky hair, hula hoops, glow sticks, and poi lights. It felt as if it could have been anyone behind the curtain &#8211; <em>But in all honesty, what does a Ti\u00ebsto show suppose to look like? <\/em>I finished up my drink and went to go see what exactly was happening behind the curtain.<\/p>\n<p>The show started with <strong>Black Caviar,<\/strong> DJ\u2019s and Producers based out of New York City, a duo made up of Troy Hinson, an Emmaus High School Graduate, and Jared Piccone. They warmed up the place with their combination of mixed beats. They had a simple white light on them and little to no video visual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Williams,<\/strong> a 20-year-old Dutch DJ then made his way to the stage. The place was filling up as the audience seem to recognize the young, energetic, handsome DJ, girls were shouting out \u201cmarry me!\u201d and \u201coh my god, he is so cute!\u201d Williams is known to work with Ti\u00ebsto and is also recognized as the \u201cartist of the future\u201d by Spinning Records. He is regarded as \u201ca pioneer of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Future_house\">future house<\/a>\u00a0subgenre and future bounce.&#8221; He displayed a simple sound wave like video visual and cool color lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Opening for Ti\u00ebsto was<strong> DJ Slushii<\/strong>, a 20-year-old New Jersey native who brought a colorful, intense, video game and anime like sound <em>&#8211; which clarified why I saw someone wearing a Pok\u00e9mon shirt<\/em>. Fans immediately responded to his appearance and his combination of vocals, giddy trance synths, trap drums, and dubstep drops.<\/p>\n<p>As for the main event, avid fans were chanting for the <em>need-no-introduction<\/em> DJ, \u201cTi\u00ebsto! Ti\u00ebsto! Ti\u00ebsto!\u201d His <em>Club Life College Tour<\/em> brought college kids from the surrounding area which created an atmosphere that felt like one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTi\u00ebsto got me into electronic music, his album Elements of Life did it for me,\u201d said a passionate Ti\u00ebsto fan. \u201cI describe it as the Dark Side of the Moon album in terms of how each song can stand on his own as well as making sense all together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were even first timers, as well as people who have seen him all the way in Belgium at a notable music festival called Tomorrowland.<\/p>\n<p>Ti\u00ebsto packed the placed with this intuitive installment of his Club Life mix series which pays tribute to the nightlife of destinations the veteran DJ has connected with. \u201cTrance music is very emotional and uplifting form of dance music. It appeals to many people in this way having a strong connection with emotions. It makes people happy and ready to party,\u201d describes Ti\u00ebsto.<\/p>\n<p>The notable DJ who started in 1994 explains, \u201csince I was a kid, I always felt the need to share the music I love with as many people as possible, and DJing seemed like the perfect outlet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was the first DJ to play live on stage at any Olympics in 2004 for the Summer Opening Ceremony in Athens. He has headlined at Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Stereosonic, Tomorrowland and Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>Ti\u00ebsto has described himself as, \u201c\u2026commercial underground. I\u2019m not commercial in the way people consider \u2018pop\u2019 but I\u2019m not underground in the way people consider that either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People waved their hands in the air like they just don\u2019t care, moving and grooving to the assumed Greatest DJ in the last 20 years as well as the \u201cGodfather of EDM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can honestly say that the fans inspire. There\u2019s an unexplainable rush that comes when I\u2019m in the middle of a set and the energy from the fans hit me\u2026\u201d says Ti\u00ebsto<\/p>\n<p>Ti\u00ebsto wrapped up his limited 8 city Club Life College Tour in Bethlehem. For those of you who weren\u2019t there, if you didn\u2019t see it on Snap Chat, you might find it on Facebook Live.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ti\u00ebsto Links<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesto.com\/\">https:\/\/www.tiesto.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tiesto\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tiesto\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tiesto\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tiesto\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tiesto\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/tiesto<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?post_type=adverts_posts&p=7036\" class=\"read-more\">Click here to read more... <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52618,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5668,1024,69,2316,482],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cristina-byrne","category-entertainment","category-in-the-valley","category-kimberly_kanuck","category-press-release-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/tiesto-club-life.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/52618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
