Shocking: Tiesto Used To Produce Gabber

When you listen to Tiesto’s recent works including ‘Wasted’ with Matthew Koma or his remix of John Legend’s “All of Me”, you may think that the famous dutchman’s style is quite light and wide audience oriented. Perhaps it is true to some degree these days, but very few people know that, in the beginning of his career, Tiesto was known for producing Hardstyle (Gabber) music.

An example of his early sound is a track called ‘When I Was a Sperm’ that Tiesto released in 1996.

Enjoy!
