Thank you! And thanks for the repost, much appreciated!!

[@mikepaolo3169]

I've visited Breda several times over the years & even bought a few CDs in Magik Store. When Electronic Family was at Dean Bosch, I'd stay at the Campanile outside Breda. Then pop into the centre to visit Albert Heijn🤣🤣

Always enjoy your vlogs! Great work

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you Sam!

[@EDMclassics]

One of my records had a 'Magik' price tag which the style of writing looked familiar. Thanks to your vid, I was right! I had to double-check as the record is Nukleuz Hard House!

Great vlog and awesome work Twan! Awesome to see these Tiesto landmarks in Breda. Keep them coming! An Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, or Markus Schulz landmarks video would be awesome as well. :)

I have something in mind for the near future for at least 1 of the names you did mention ;-)

[@ladcherif09]

Incredible Work Twann, Have you tried to reach out Hans Willem Mallon, he is also considered as a producer that made a great hits for/with Tiesto ?

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! And according to my sources it was mainly Dennis. I would love to do an interview with him one day, but unfortunately he said “no” when I did ask him a while ago.

[@EnVerdenPerfekt]

For all these years i didn't know how to pronounce Tijs Verwest - until now! It sounds similar to the Danish name Theis.

[@muzikxpress]

Haha glad I could help ;-) Hope you enjoyed the vlog!

[@EnVerdenPerfekt]

I did. Oh, and i believe i just became subscriber number 600 :)

[@muzikxpress]

Haha yes, thank you so much! I really appreciate it! :)

[@darekmichalski6955]

Ja zaczołem zbierac płyty winylowe od polowy pandemi. Może nie jest to pokaźna kolekcja ale mam juz ponad 300 sztuk głuwnie to gatunek trance. Ale i mam tez klasyki jak np. Franek Kimono czy cindy lapert

[@natix_643]

Breda 8pm ;)

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

Breda? Breda 9PM (DJ Montana Edit) Parade of the Athletes, good stuff.

[@trancemaster871]

What ever happened to dj Montana him and tiesto worked a lot together back in the day especially the space age compilation series

[@muzikxpress]

I think he’s making techno these days under a different name.

[@misterunknow146]

I come from breda

[@muzikxpress]

Beautiful city!

[@misterunknow146]

muzikxpress thank you very much

[@DJGOLFVR6]

Can you do profile video for Cor Fijneman? I think he's the main reason Tiesto got his fame. I like to seewhat hes up yo, and what memories he has from co writing for tiesto and his thoughts on those days.

[@muzikxpress]

As far as I know Tijs was already a pretty popular DJ and releasing several mix CDs and productions (hardcore, gabber, techno-ish material) before he and Cor met. There are 3 guys that have been VERY important for the career of Tijs; Arny Bink, Wilfriend Dam and Dimitri De Wit. (Record lable, management and bookings). Cor "only" did co-write/produce a few tracks with Tijs, most of the productions have been done by some other guys. Cor is still DJ-ing btw, mostly techno these days :)

[@miurasrpnt_v2]

I would add Geert Huinink and Dennis Waakop. They contributed a lot for his trance albums.

[@muzikxpress]

That's what I said ;-) "most of the productions have been done by some other guys", the three most important ones I know are Geert and his old production team Dennis and Hans-Willem.

[@miurasrpnt_v2]

By the way, what is your opinion about this ? About the fact that his solo album (In My Memory, Just Be, Elements of Life) are not that much "solo". For example, I've never really understood why "Brightmorning Star" is titled as Tiësto while it's clearly written it's BT who composed this track. Is there any reason behind this kind of habit ? (I don't wanna write "ghostproducing" because Tijs deserves much more respect than that).

[@muzikxpress]

Since the last few years that's not much of a secret anymore is it? ;-)

[@hinsen]

Hey Twan. Once, under one of the comments, someone asked you about the possibility of doing an interview with Tiesto, and from what I remember, you wrote that there is no sense doing an interview with him for some reason. But maybe someday you could do an interview with the man who produced many hits for Tiesto. This man's name is Dennis Waakop and he lives in the Netherlands and has a studio in Rotterdam. denniswr.com/ I heard about it recently and I was little shocked that Tiesto doesn't really do music production but do a show as a DJ and uses Ghost Producers. Greetings.

[@muzikxpress]

I did ask Dennis a while ago already, but unfortunately he said “no” to my request :(

[@hinsen]

Too bad. It seems he wants to stay behind the scenes forever. Or maybe he is bound by some legal agreements that he cannot tell about the fact that he has produced many songs for Tiesto.

[@muzikxpress]

@@hinsen I think the last thing you wrote 😉

[@ladcherif09]

@@hinsen is that true ? Tiesto uses ghost producer ? so how comes and from where did you get this info ?

[@mikrasiatis_1924]

Parade of the Athletes with the greek flag... Proud to be greek!

[@ladcherif09]

How is the Relation between Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren ?? they dont share anything togheter even when they are in same lineup

[@shilka5637]

Was there a reason as to why he closed down his record shop?

[@muzikxpress]

Less sales I guess, not sure, but I think that was one of the main reasons. Downloading etc.

[@take5transfat]

@@muzikxpress might have also been around the time he left black hole because of changing creative differences to start musical freedom as well

[@muzikxpress]

No, that was a few years after the shop got closed. The shop closed mid 2006 and in 2007 he did the "Elements Of Life" album and tour. Then ISOS6 in the same year, plus in 2008 he did ISOS7 on the Black Hole label. I think he left in 2009, since at the end of that year he released the "Kaleidoscope" album on Musical Freedom, which changed his musical direction as well.

[@take5transfat]

muzikxpress ahh ok! thanks for the info

[@muzikxpress]

You're welcome! :)

Is that true that most of Tiesto's productions comes from other ghost producer rather than himsefl ?,

[@muzikxpress]

That’s correct indeed!

[@ladcherif09]

@@muzikxpress how did you know, or any proofs ?

[@muzikxpress]

@@ladcherif09 Google “Dennis Waakop-Reijers” and check out his website. I met him / spoke to him a few times, plus I spoke to several other people involved as well. There is a reason why you never see Tiësto at work in the studio, I guess you know why 😉

[@ladcherif09]

@@muzikxpress make sense actually, have you tried to talk or interview Geert Huinink , Ben Huijbregts they worked (produced) with Tiesto as well ?

[@muzikxpress]

@@ladcherif09 When I did work for Trance.nu we did an interview with Geert Huinink. He wasn't the main producer of Tiësto though and he has always been mentioned in the credits. Ben did work for Tiësto indeed, but never as a producer. Met him several times as well. So for interviews about Tiësto's productions both of them are not really on my wish list. I would love to do an interview with Dennis, but he said "no" when I did ask him.

[@dosereviews]

and i thouth it was still a record store i dont think he need the money no more

[@muzikxpress]

Oh no, the store closed a long time ago already!

[@loramatilda1126]

What about his #Father?He never mentions him.

[@muzikxpress]

Maybe he has a good reason for that?

[@loramatilda1126]

@@muzikxpress ... probably...he never mentions his father so i guess it's not a pleasant theme of discussion for hm.... maybe in music he found more Love 😉. It would be interesting though any info about Tiesto 's relationship with his father..... In general he never mentions much about his family in his interviews.

De winkel was een groooote flop Er was te weinig aanbod in andere generes als bv. Acid.....ambient..... Drum and bass....enz. Platte trance meuk winkel

[@muzikxpress]

Nou, grote flop valt wel mee hoor, ben er meerdere malen geweest en er waren altijd genoeg mensen in de zaak om dingen te kopen. En Tijs was destijds een trance DJ, dus lag nogal voor de hand dat er veel trance te koop was daar toch? :)

[@Macik0073]

i heard he has ghost producers

[@muzikxpress]

Macik0073 Not really a big secret anymore tbh 😉

[@Bigger-Circuitry-Bigger-SOUND]

TIESTO is just a business man great to make money, he merit credits only 06/2002 to 10/2002 where he was probably the best DJ ever but just only 4 months in all entire career as a music selector … for the rest of his life he is a story of shame especially crediting other people productions to himself… collaborating is fine but using ghost is SHAME as you CHEAT in the worst possible way, Music is spiritual and touch humans profoundly so we need to give credit to those who really make this music and Dennis Waakop Reijers is the man who made all “Tiesto” tracks
