Of the two halves of Nyana, Tiesto discloses that CD 2, "The Inside," demanded more of his time and attention to program. "I always try to throw in some new tunes, and a variety of styles, into my set." While a couple of these selections, such as "Obsession," a collaboration with Junkie XL taken from Tiesto`s 2002 artist album In My Memory, will be familiar to fans, the majority are exclusive to this compilation, hand-picked from the literally hundreds of tracks producers - both aspiring and established - forward to the Dutch DJ on a daily basis. It`s a bit harder and faster, with some techno influence, and a little more uplifting."Īlong with his trademark trance selections, elements of progressive house, tribal, and techno all weave throughout this set, plus a few choice vocal cuts, most notably Tiesto`s customized remix of "Venus (Meant To Be Your Lover)" by DJ Cor Fijneman featuring Jan Johnston (who previously sang on Tiesto`s "Close To You.") "A DJ has to have surprises," surmises Tiesto of his versatile approach to programming. "And `The Outside` sounds like how I play at an outdoor festival or a bigger event. "`The Inside` CD is the warm, slower, more progressive, melodic music I play," he explains, better suited to a more intimate venue or a mellower crowd. With Nyana, Tiesto - named Best International DJ at the DanceStar USA Awards at the Winter Music Conference in Miami this year - was determined to showcase all the facets of his DJ style to their best affect, so he split the program into two distinct halves: "Outdoor" (Disc 1) and "Indoor" (Disc 2). "Nyana," one of the high points of Disc 1, is an expansive trance tune propelled by vibrant melodies, a multi-layered arrangement, and dramatic yet thoughtful shifts in dynamics - precisely the musical elements so integral to Tie"sto`s aesthetic, both behind the decks and in the studio, and qualities which have made him one of the world`s best-loved DJs, as well as a successful producer and sought-after remixer. In the Zulu language, that word means, `The Sun.`" With visions of the animal fresh in his head, he composed the title track of his latest Nettwerk America release. "There was this beautiful cheetah, and her name was Nyana. As part of a rare vacation, he visited an animal preserve. "A couple months ago, I was in South Africa," he recalls. where he has built his steadily escalating reputation. For internationally acclaimed DJ-producer Tiesto, born Tijs Verwest, the seeds of his new 2-CD mix Nyana were sown far from his home in Holland, or the giant clubs and parties throughout Europe and the U.S. Inspiration can strike at the most unlikely times and places. No more rumors! Why 'NYANA' for his new album? A 2CD album what does each contain? Read a brief history on Tiesto's success.
