Tiësto seems to pay homage to dance music mecca Miami - and its Ultra Music Festival-goers - in “Chasing Summers,” a fiery track which quickly became the anthem of his Club Life tour when it dropped back in 2012. With its glitchy, shimmering riff, disco-tinged beat and Sheffield’s seductive vocals, it’s hard not to nod in unison with the singer as she calls on listeners to “forget about the future,” a phrase that here sounds less like a mourning call and more like a battle cry. Sheffield dance floor jam “Escape Me” dropped in 2009 - eight years later, it still feels fresh.

Tiësto brings on a major pop name - Nelly Furtado - for this throbbing Kaleidoscope track about staying out “‘till the sun comes up.” Slightly more downtempo than Tiësto’s usual bangers, “Who Wants To Be Alone” is a revitalizing chance to catch your breath on the dance floor, particularly when Furtado’s ethereal, echoing vocals take full reign around the 3:15 mark. One of the many now-iconic gems off Tiësto’s first album, In My Memory, “Urban Train” sounds almost otherworldly, weaving Kirsty Hawkshaw’s feathery vocals through skidding electronic effects and a sweeping, galactic dance-floor beat.ġ6. Tiësto feat. 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.
