Perhaps one of the most diverse Tiësto tracks yet, “Elements Of Life” will have listeners discovering something new with each replay. And it wouldn’t be a Tiësto track if it didn’t eventually transform into a dance club jam.
Over eight minutes, Tiësto takes listeners through a range of textures, from a fuzzy, organ-like introduction to a breathless, chugging bass beat and glistening, overlapping synths. Hell yeah.Īs the title track off Tiësto’s Grammy-nominated 2007 album, it’s not surprising that this ambitious song made the list. Listeners get a breather around the 2:45 mark, but not for too long. The beat quickly jerks back into a thumping, bass-heavy beast.
This rollicking, buzzy Tiësto song lives up to its title, melding a synth-heavy, glitzy dance floor anthem with collaborator Showtek’s speaker-blasting hardstyle. It’s easy to get lost in the trance track’s six-minute run, and its call to “put your hands in the air for a century” fits the track’s timeless sound. “Hello, can you hear me?” This Kaleidoscope Tiësto song has an epic feel, with a cascading electronic beat that ushers in an otherworldly, echoed vocal to repeatedly ask the question. How can anyone begin to condense such an iconic career into 20 best tracks - and is it even possible? Join Billboard Dance as we do our best to try, below.
