Tiësto has confirmed he is working on a full-length trance studio album, marking his first dedicated return to the genre that made him a global icon. The announcement follows a series of hints across the festival circuit and a trance-focused set at EDC Las Vegas.

From Trance Pioneer to Mainstage Fixture

Before dominating Las Vegas residencies and mainstage slots, Tiësto was the architect of the global trance movement. In the late '90s, Tijs Verwest co-founded Black Hole Recordings, launching legendary compilation series like Magik and In Search of Sunrise. He shaped the sound through side projects including Gouryella, a collaboration with Ferry Corsten.

His In Search of Sunrise remix of Delerium's 'Silence' became an international phenomenon in 2000, paving the way for his debut solo album In My Memory in 2001. Tracks like 'Lethal Industry' and 'Suburban Train' defined an era and made him the first solo DJ to sell out stadium-scale shows and perform live at the Olympic Games.

New Trance Productions and Live Energy

Tiësto's recent trance productions include 'Bring Me To Life', 'Beautiful Places', and the forthcoming 'Don't Lose Your Head'. Speaking about the new direction, he said his connection to dance music has never been stronger and that playing the new sounds live has been unbelievable, pushing him into a new era that feels more authentic and exciting than ever.

The album marks Tiësto's first full-length trance project in a generation, signaling a return to the roots that established him as one of electronic music's most influential figures.
