Tiesto’s Iconic In Search Of Sunrise Mix Of ‘Silence’ Has Turned 24 Years Old

Twenty-four years ago, in 1999, Canadian electronic group Delerium teamed up with singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan to create ‘Silence’, a track that has become one of the most iconic trance anthems of all time. However, it was Tiësto’s transformative “In Search of Sunrise” remix, released on October 4, 2000, that propelled the track to legendary status. This remix not only earned ‘Silence’ a permanent place in dance music history but also helped define Tiësto’s career as one of the world’s leading DJs.

While ‘Silence’ had several remixes, Tiësto’s version stood out for its masterful balance of ethereal beauty and high-energy trance elements. The remix’s vibrant synths and innovative basslines elevated the original, creating a euphoric experience that resonated with fans across the globe. Tiësto’s remix became a defining moment, securing the track a spot at #12 on Mixmag‘s list of the greatest dance records of all time.

Even today, Tiësto’s “In Search of Sunrise” remix of ‘Silence’ continues to captivate new and old listeners alike, ensuring its place as one of the most influential trance tracks ever. It’s a timeless reminder of how music can transcend decades and genres, uniting generations on dance floors around the world.
