Tiesto at olympic games opening 2004

Like, you have the crazy people, you have the nicely dressed people, you have the office people, you have the regular guys - that makes it fun. After my touring life, I'd love to be more involved with charity. It gives me a lot of fulfillment, you know?

I would love to get people who are into my music more active in charity work. In the future, when I have more time, I'd love to do spend more time on that. I have been DJing in clubs for years. I always dreamed to be a famous DJ in Holland. And now it's worldwide. You can't imagine.

I mean, I still can't believe it myself that everything has gone so well. I can honestly say that the fans inspire.

There's an unexplainable rush that comes when I'm in the middle of a set and the energy from the fans hit me. I also get really inspired through collaborations.

I've learned so much from the emerging producers I've worked with just as they've learned from me. My favorite all-time artist I would say, I think that must be Sigur Ros, I love that band.

It's like going to the stars for me. When I put the music from Jonsi or Sigur Ros on, it's so relaxing, it's warm and it never gets boring to listen to, you always hear new things. Yeah, that must be my favorite band. I think it would be different to work with a guy like Kanye West or Jay-Z, those guys are so phenomenal, but just to work with a rapper, I don't think is really my thing. I really like songs, like true songs. Like indie songs. Sigur Ros make beautiful music. Bloc Party are fantastic and exciting and innovative.

I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them. I think one of the greatest gigs I played, and we've had many, but to play the opening ceremony at - at the Olympic games in Athens was pretty special, you know? Because it's such a big deal for the whole world. And the whole world's watching. So that was definitely one of the special ones.

Athens doesn't has a soundtrack for the ceremonies, sadly.

Clypsedra Konstantinos Vita — Passage. Song for the Athletes Bjork — Oceania. Tribute to the Olympic Cities Konstantinos Vita — Its such a shame, truly such beautiful music. The composer of quite a few musical pieces for that ceremony, John Psathas, once had videos of those pieces performed at Athens' OC on his YouTube channel.

It wasn't a studio recording of course, but the live thing mixed with the applause - but it was footage of high quality and I regret that I didn't save it. I have to say as well that Athens' OC, even if it was sometimes slightly too artsy and therefore lacked some genuine emotion, had some stunning music.

I really don't watch things like the Olympic Games even though they are probably one of the most prestigious sporting events on earth. I am the type of guy that watches the Super Bowl, the NBA playoffs and maybe major boxing events and that's it.

Last time I checked and if I am not mistaken I mean Really confused. Hopefully someone can help set me straight. DJing has been "popular" for decades. While in the US the whole EDM thing exploded in the last 10 years, before that there is a whole history. In Europe DJing was the "in thing" from the early 90s.
