DJ Tiesto Enlists, Nelly Furtado, Sigur Ros For 'Kaleidoscope'
by Kerri Mason, N.Y. | October 02, 2009 5:32 EDT
Dutch producer/DJ Tiesto is already ahead of many of his contemporaries:
He has corporate sponsors, a Grammy Award nomination, a touring market that
spans five continents and sales of more than 538,000 albums domestically,
according to Nielsen SoundScan. But even though he's achieved success that
usually eludes electronic artists, Tiesto has an even loftier goal in mind:
cracking the North American mainstream. While his U.S. sales are nothing to
scoff at, they're small potatoes next to his global sales -- 2.5 million-plus,
according to his management.
"Tiesto as an electronic artist may be seen as established; however, we all
know how hard it has been for electronic artists to get the respect they
deserve in the mainstream music world, particularly in North America," says
Michael Cohen, Tiesto's co-manager at AM Only, his worldwide booking agency.
"Considering he has played stadium shows in Europe, including a recent
headlining show in London's Victoria Park for 25,000 people, there is still
a long way to go for all of us in terms of replicating those achievements
in North America."
Tiesto is hoping to achieve that success with "Kaleidoscope" (Ultra), his
fourth studio album. It will be released Oct. 6 in the United States on Ultra
and Oct. 5 elsewhere by Musical Freedom, a collaboration between Tiesto's
management company, Complete Control, and PIAS. While it features
collaborations with big names in art rock (Jonsi Birgisson from Sigur Ros),
indie rock (Kele Okereke from Bloc Party) and even pop (Nelly Furtado,
praising late-night partying on "Who Wants to Be Alone"), the collection never
loses its essential Tiesto-ness: massive synth riffs, uplifting melodies and
high drama.
For Ultra, the diversity of the collaborators means targeting a number of
audiences. "We're connecting the music and message of 'Kaleidoscope' with
the indie audience from Pitchfork to modern rock radio," Ultra president
Patrick Moxey says. The label is also leveraging its large fan database with
sales and Google Analytics data to focus the digital marketing campaign in key
areas. "We're well aware that Tiesto needs special attention in Miami, for
example, and we have a stepped micro-marketing campaign in that city to
activate his fan base for street date," Moxey says. In-stores are scheduled
for HMV in Toronto and Amoeba in Los Angeles, and Ultra has successfully sold
the album in all of its U.S. retail accounts, including major chains for all
35 U.S. tour stops.
Tiesto, who turned 40 this year, will play a few large venues for the first
time on the tour, which kicked off Sept. 24 in New York: Tsongas Arena in
Boston (capacity: 7,800); Arrow Hall in Toronto (9,000); UCF Arena in Orlando,
Fla. (10,000); Cohen Stadium in El Paso, Texas (11,000); and two shows at the
Big Four Building in Calgary, Alberta (4,000).
"His touring profile has grown steadily and consistently, moving from sold-out
club shows to sold-out theater shows to sold-out arenas now in some major
markets," Cohen says. "As the size of venue has grown the ability to bring
in Tiesto's signature production has grown with it, and I think that's the key
to his continued success: investing in the live show." The Tiesto experience
includes lasers, pyrotechnics, floor-to-ceiling video screens and an
eye-popping customized DJ booth.
Heineken is onboard to sponsor some of the major-market shows. Tiesto is also
working with Nokia in the Netherlands on a "performance and content
partnership" and with Smirnoff and Manchester United Football Club on
an Asia Pacific campaign. His long relationship with Armani Exchange will
continue as well.
"In North America, we have done about all that an artist and brand could hope
to achieve together, including a tour sponsorship, exclusive record release,
clothing line and product endorsement," says Josh Neuman of Complete Control,
Tiesto's worldwide management company. "We have started doing additional
campaigns together in the U.K., China, Dubai and are exploring other
territories to work on for 2010."
