In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 4: Latin America [Slipcase] (CD - 2005)

Long considered one of the world's finest remixers, DJ Tiesto continues to "pump up the jams" on this fourth installment of his SUNRISE series. Inspired by the electronic music (and people) of Latin America, Tiesto gives his fans no less than 28 tracks to move and groove to.

This is definitely not chill out or down-tempo music. Each and every piece on SUNRISE 4 throbs with energy and sexiness. "Do What U Want" may be the album's most melodic tune. Featuring a sultry female vocal performance, this piece has more of a "song" feel than the average club goer might expect. Other mixes such as "Palma Solane" and "Evolution" from disc two fit well within the categories of trance and rave. But what are labels anyway? In simplest terms, this is electronically generated groove music. Its focus is on adrenaline-laced rhythms and heart-pounding downbeats. And it is exciting! Occasionally, Tiesto's mixes sound hazy or dreamy, but the majority of SUNRISE 4 is wide-awake, heated, and rapturous. minimize
