Anyone with two brain cells rubbed together can perform a google search / or look at writing credits and see that the name Tiesto is a BRAND while the man himself is the (marketing) FACE. This is public knowledge. Think of it as Team Tiesto or whatever helps you sleep at night but the focus needs to be on the music. Tiesto the man has always been irrelevant and should remain as such. Wasn’t there a certain “universal” message in the west which warned the ills of false idolatry?
Now, it’s completely understandable and justified the amount of feces flung at Tijs, who undoubtedly has douche vibes coming out the wazoo and did sell out the movement due to his position of popularity. But let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater with blatantly asinine statements like how the music associated was “never good” and how it has always been “repetitive and mediocre.” It makes the sources seem like salty, scorned lovers with anvil sized chips on their shoulders, not to mention bereft of credibility.
Look, vocal trance is an established sect of the genre. Yes, it’s pop but much of it is quality pop so who gives a fuck? (and arguably the only worthy form of pop as it commentates and parodies the modern, technocratic consumerist culture from the vantage of a humanistic soul struggling to find itself). Tiesto has prolifically mastered this into an artform. Get over it, especially since it doesn’t negate the more underground styles with merit. Hating on a genre due to aesthetic is hipsterism 101 (if you’re going to be a bigot, at least do it philosophically). Aesthetists are excused to slap their single bongo drum in mommy’s basement and bask in their own “tr00ness.” You’re a unique snowflake. No one will ever know what it feels like to be you, k?
There is nothing “mediocre” or “formulaic” about the expertly written heart-warming ballad ‘Close to You,’ the suicidal, aquatically submerged ‘Flesh,’ the cosmically sexual ‘Venus,’ or the modernist-rendered daoist ‘Just Be’ just to name a few. Then, there’s eminent melodic gems such as ‘Nyana,’ ‘Sparkles,’ the Handel cover ‘Elements of Life,’ not to mention ‘Adagio for Strings’ (artistically superior than the Barber original despite popularity), the criminally underrated ‘Coming Home’ and of course, ‘Suburban Train’ (want me to go on?). The music is simply iconic of a celebrated epoch in trance history. End of story.

People need to understand that Tiesto was never good, he never did anything good nor produced. Name Tiesto is the most successful EDM marketing trick of all to times that has been running since late 90s.
Tiesto you remember from late 90s-2000s was actually multiple works of Dennis Waakop Reijers and Geert Huinink (all the trance anthems and albums you remember were made by these two and some others). Even Tijs himself refered to 'Tiesto' as a band. Just Google if you don't believe it.
And the Tiesto you know today in the Electro-House/Big Room scene didn't change at all, he's the same dude just like from 15 years ago. Except that today he has 10 ghost producers instead, and he switched to Electro House because it's way more marketable than Trance.
All those new singles you see today with collabs and featuring other less-known names or how they just put (Tiesto Edit) at the end of the track from unknown artist - is all marketing, because when you see the big name, you click the bait and that's how $$$ is made. Without realizing that Tijs himself prolly never heard of that new 'Edit' he supposedly made.
Just check the sources, submissions of releases and look under the Credits, there's always someone elses name. Just like Armin van Buuren with his last albums and Gaia alias, pretended it was all him until the internet found out it was all produced by Benno (from Rank 1) then Armin played it off that Gaia now is a 'duo'.
I know that now the ignorant teenager fanboys going to hate me and pretend that this is ALL FILTHY LIES, Tiesto's music is godly and Tiesto himself is best producer of all times and he poop rainbows and when I grow up I want to be just like my god DJ Tiesto.
But facts tell different story.

Source: Me, years of experience in the biz, still own early Magik/ISOS comps and early Tiesto's albums. No, I'm not the real Vibrasphere. I guess I just love trance. At least I used to...

everyone whines about how good he used to be and how shit he is now
but go back and listen to his earlier stuff and it's just as repetitive and mediocre as the stuff he makes now. the thing is we're only just now noticing because of how fucking rich he has gotten.
in my opinion? he was always lazy and nothing has changed except now he isn't just djing small well known clubs but is djing huge festivals for thousands of dollars.

Tiesto is a Dj and Producer, he just goes the Mainstream way, whats wrong about this, everybody makes Money :-)
he has a perfect Marketing and he know to sell out his work, better give respect than hate, be realistic and take your emotions in the Garbage,
Techno Music is dead since 10 years, this is Money Music
Tiesto is a Money machine "Respect and Love" is the way to live

When trance and techno began it was not only a musical movement, also ideological, one of the core ideas was to remove the ego from the performer (see rock) nothing more stupid than a rock band with a bunch of slaves worshiping them well, the idea of the dj was like in early disco, just someone playing music while people were the true protagonist having a good time, in other words, the people not the artist were central.
People like him and many others took good care of turning electronic music into the same shit as rock turned out to be, also musically wise most if not all dj superstars are lacking as well, GO UNDERGROUND to hear the true sound of trance and techno.

I don't get the hate for Tiesto.
How can you possibly hate him after all those wonderful tracks in the past and some recent ones?
Brilliant tracks now (new Tiesto 2009>):
Maximal Crazy, C'mon, Las Vegas, Kaleidoscope, Century, Young Blood remix, Feel It In My Bones
Brilliant tracks in the past (old Tiesto <2009):
Suburban Train, Adagio For Strings, Forever Today, Parade Of The Athletes, The Silence remix, In My Memory, Nyana, Theme From Norefjell, Traffic, Flight 643, Athena, Just Be, Elements of Life, Love Comes Again, Lethal Industry
And those are just from the top of my head.
Also, let's not forget the legendary compilation albums, like Magik and In Search of Sunrise.
Or his live sets, like his 2004 and 2008 DVD's. Perfect sets with cool side acts.
Of course he is very popular and famous now, so to some people he's automatically a sellout. Which is sad, because you have to appreciate an artist on the quality of music that he makes. And 90% of his tracks just are objectively good.
Some people hate him because he switched styles over the years. How can you blame him for that? He's in electronic music for 20 years now, and that music has evolved. He gets with the times, like all producers an DJ's should do.
Long story short, like an artist because of the music, not the person.
