Electronic legend DJ Tisto (also known as Tijs Michiel Verwest) put on a hell of a show on September 17 when he brought his

Club Life College Invasion Tour to th e John Labatt Centre. The Dutch jack-of-all-trades musician is known throughout the world for his elec tronic dance, trance, progressive trance, electro house and house music by way o f DJing and producing. Pretty much anything he touches turns to gold, and with s uccessful collaborations with a multitude of artists, Tisto is destined to remain at the pinnacle of club music and represents to many DJs what success in the in dustry amounts to. Tisto regularly performs Mondays at Privilege, the largest club in the world in I biza, off the coast of Valencia in Spain. He also performs at venues around the world, and he brought his musical genius to Athens to perform at the 2004 Olympi cs. But the John Labatt Centre had its own culture aglow during his performance, and among the neon clothes, glow sticks and happy dancers, Tisto brought a memor able flavour for fans. Tisto introduced his protg Porter Robinson to begin the night, and Tisto culminated the night with Canadian flare at several points expressing his Canadian fever by waving a flag and showing a maple leaf on his clothes. Tisto is known for his well received album Kaleidoscope in 2009, which features s everal mixes with Canadian female artists like Nelly Furtado, Emily Haines of Me tric and Tegan and Sara, and he brought some of that Canadian flavour to the JLC with a remix of Sarah McLachlan's "Silence" from the year 2000. He also played a few more modern collaborations with Dragonette ("Hello") and British songstres s Adele ("Someone Like You"). Ultimately, this was the show to attend. "The music was louder than a plane at t akeoff at 150 decibels (planes typically lift off at 130)," stated Security Supe rvisor Dave Harding, and the eardrum-shattering beats only heightened the spirit s of an arena packed with wildly enthusiastic fans. Tisto also showcased two contests for his fans. One was an offer for fans to remi x Tisto's soon-to-be- released track "Work Hard, Play Hard." The winning remix wi ll be released on Tisto's own label, and the winning fan will open for Tisto durin g the College Invasion Tour. The second contest will have fans competing from co llege campuses across Canada, and the winner will have Tisto DJ at his or her hou se party. Winners will be announced on his Facebook page.
