university-ready students in Abu Dhabi and found that… a little over half can write in 4 USPAcE

Michelangelo was at one time a computer virus, but is first and foremost a famous artist/
sculptor (he was also an architect, poet and engineer—but really, who cares about that?) 8 bEAT wITH SITH
and that Beethoven is a classical music composer (for some reason few actually saw
the dog film—thank God for that). This finding proves one of two things: that either 10 TAMAkkAN
schooling in Abu Dhabi is good, or that young minds here are less affected by popular 11 TEcH TALk
culture….(yeah right).
so with good intentions in mind, we want to see if people out here know enough about FASHION
Abu Dhabi, or would offer dumb answers like those in the Mindlist survey. Initially we
were tempted to go out and lay bare the truth, but decided not to embarrass y’all. 12 TRENDSETTER

by Sithara Sethumadhavan
Dutch musician, DJ, and a record
Dj TIËSTO producer... who are we talking about?
A kALEIDOScOPE OF HIS wORLD Well its Tijs Michiel Verwest, or it’s
Dj Tiësto to you and me.
Tiësto is among the top tier crop of world renowned
DJs. But what is it that makes him one of the most
demanded DJs?
“When you see me, you know I feel it and I love
what I do. It is the real thing. When you see me play
you know you are seeing someone who plays not
because he has to, but because he loves it” ,
says Tiësto.
Tiësto showed an interest in music from the young
age of twelve. He began professional DJing at the
age of 14 at school parties and later moved on to be
a regular DJ at clubs in Netherlands. He continued
his career producing hardcore/ gabber tracks which
earned him the great success.
His fame continued to skyrocket through the early
2000s following his six-hour “Tiësto solo” sets which
he performed without other DJs or opening acts.
This idea: of one DJ playing alone to a large crowd,
was brought to its pinnacle when Tiësto became
the first DJ to hold a solo concert in a stadium; on
May 10, 2003 - he performed for over 25,000 people
in Arnhem’s GelreDome. This concert, which was a
roaring success, was later called Tiësto in Concert.
In 2004 the Athens organizing Committee for the
olympic Games (ATHoC) asked Tiësto to perform at
the olympic Games, making him the first DJ to play
live on stage at an olympic Games. By late 2004,
Tiësto began touring the world with his music.
In an interview in Cliché Magazine’s February
2010 issue, Tiësto said, “Well, my plans for 2010 are
definitely to keep touring! I hit Australia in January,
then February, then the UK in March!” He has
performed in five UK arena shows in March and one
in Dublin, Ireland. Tiësto has added UAe to his busy
2010 tour schedule and will perform at ADNeC on
1 october 2010.
Watch out Abu Dhabi, DJ plays for one night only!
