The annual Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas for 2025 just happened this past weekend, and the entire Electronic Dance Music community is deeply in discussion over the set that many thought may never happen. For more context or a short history lesson for those who may be unaware, Tiesto began his career as DJ Tiesto spearheading the beloved Trance genre that for a majority of community, began it all. Tiesto created the compilation series "In Search of Sunrise" to showcase the sounds and the journey you can go on while the music plays.
When Tiesto decided to experiment and pursue what many call "EDM" now in an effort to build a commercialized industry where DJs and Producers can become extremely wealthy, Trance became a genre that has always been put under a microscope. The popularity of other genres within Electronic Dance Music such as House, Techno, Bass, Dubstep, and others have become synonymous with EDM to those who find themselves fans of other music. In fact, the term "trance" deemed itself unpopular in recent years causing many DJs, Producers, and fans to evolve within the industry to stay relevant.
When an "In Search of Sunrise" set at Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) was announced, this author truly hoped it would live up to expectations. The constant debate and demand for Tiesto to return to "his roots" has been on going for 30 years. As evident by the discussions throughout social media, brilliant other posts, and this publication itself, we can agree that this set exceeded expectations! We can also attest that whomever suggested this set is a genius due to the "buzz" it has created within the Electronic Dance Music community worldwide.
