Tiesto Aims For More Mainstream Success With New Album
. With the release of his new album, A Town Called Paradise, Ti�sto seeks to elevate his stratospheric career beyond EDM and towards becoming a household-name. Marrying his hands-in-the-air trance euphoria with finely crafted pop forms, the album has already generated the hit single "Red Lights," which has had a major impact on the Billboard charts as well as American pop radio, a first for the Dutch DJ. The follow-up single, "Wasted," looks to follow suit. "I never thought that would happen, but it's definitely for me one of the icings on the cake of my career," Ti�sto explained during an interview with Radio.com about the success of "Red Lights." "I'm so proud to have a song on the radio, because I've never had that kind of music. It's not that I try to make something that fits the radio, I just like to write songs which I really like myself. And then the radio picks it up, it's like a mega-bonus." The influence of Las Vegas is stamped all over A Town Called Paradise, a city that Ti�sto helped turn into America's current dance music capital. "When I used to come there, I was the only DJ that played house music and EDM," he said. "For the rest, it was all hip-hop and open format. Las Vegas is always moving, it's always transforming into something new, there's always new stuff bubbling up. Every week you have fresh, new people in who want to party." A lot more.
