If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself it makes the sound more special.
TiestoSince 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.
TiestoI love L.A., but I don't live there. I spent some time there when I was recording 'Kaleidoscope,' mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful.
TiestoI always like to make people happy, make them have a good time. It's pretty obvious if the room is dead - if no one is cheering or singing or whatever, there's obviously something wrong. I always try to look for euphoric feelings, things people are excited that they're hearing, and then I build from there. It's hard to explain, actually. When I'm in the mood, I just feel it. Now they need something with vocals, now they need something hard, something soft.
