Noah Tepperberg & Jason Strauss host Tiesto's 43rd birthday celebration tonight at LAVO! We know, 43 years, we can't believe it either. This is set to be one of the biggest, most exclusive parties of the year, requiring "red carpet approval" to even buy a ticket. Tiësto was born Tijs Michiel Verwest in Breda, North Brabant, Netherlands on January 17, 1969. He started DJing at the age of 14 at local school parties. In 1985 through 1994 he was a resident DJ at several clubs in the Netherlands. He played weekend sets from 10pm-4am at a small nightclub called The Spock in Breda, where he was really able to settle into a style of his own.

From there, his career really began to take off. Starting with his beats produced on Noculan Records' sub-labels Chemo and Coolman. Under names 'Da Joker' and 'DJ Limited' he produced several gabber/hardcore tracks and was eventually discovered by the executive general manager at Basic Beat Recordings. He subsequently signed to Basic Beat and became "Tiësto." The rest is epic DJ history. 

There's no doubt Tiesto is one of the most legendary DJs of all-time. With consistent hits and true staying power, we look forward to another 43 years of chart-topping beats and incomparable parties.

Happy Birthday, Tiësto!
