Starting out in the early '90s in his native Netherlands under the hardcore and gabber aliases DJ Limited and Da Joker, he soon broke through as DJ TiГ«sto. The DJ born Tijs Verwest was never idle in the years leading up to In My Memory. The album also marked a distinct phase in TiГ«sto's production career as the new trance wunderkind before his evolution to a more polished sound on 2004's Just Be. Confirming his new status, he went on to win DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs poll for three years running from 2002 to 2004. Featuring the anthemic trinity of ' Flight 643,' ' Lethal Industry' and ' Suburban Train,' In My MemoryВ cemented TiГ«sto as the biggest name in his genre.

Released in April of 2001 on the Black Hole Recordings sub-label Magik Muzik, the album confirmed the hotshot trance DJ's clout as a producer. TiГ«sto's newly hectic life coincided with the arrival of his debut album, In My Memory. 'On Christmas Day, I played in Ireland and London, then the day after I flew to Hong Kong, and then a day later I'm here in New York.' As he lists this sleepless schedule, the smile on his face suggests he wouldn't have it any other way. 'My life in general is pretty hectic,' he says early in the film, framed against New York's icy East River. The footage captures TiГ«sto jumping between international flights and limos, signing t-shirts and flyers for fans and playing gigs with a bag of vinyl records and a binder of promo CDRs.

The film captures the 33-year-old on the ascent-popular enough to be flown around the world, but still able to circulate a US festival mostly incognito. Released in August 2003, Another Day at the OfficeВ follows the DJ's world tour the previous year, which culminated in a New Year's Eve set at Times Square in New York. Like any self-respecting star during the early 2000s, TiГ«stoВ offered up a tour DVD to the world.
