Interesting fact - when Tiesto was asked to DJ the opening ceremony of the Olympics, he was so nervous at playing to approx. 3 billion people that he stacked the first mix.

Darude is. I played at an event in the States which had him headlining the main room. He was fucking awesome, one of the best trance DJs I've ever seen...mixing was on point, key matched, had a flow to the whole set, fairly sure he was even double dropping some tunes at one point which in trance is faaaaaaaaaaarking difficult to do on the fly.

Nothin but respect for the man :Q:

Yeah, that's an impressive job of turning one hit single into a major club career!

Thought there might be a few more underground but long-standing and popular people like Andy C, Carl Craig, Aphex Twin making the list.

I think it's really interesting how half of these people have been in the music game for 15-20 years before getting to where tehy are today, and the other half have been around for less than 10.
