Fact check: Dj tiësto did not produce most of his tracks

1. Summary of the results

The analyses confirm that Tiësto has indeed not produced many of his tracks independently. He has openly acknowledged using ghost producers as of 2015 ^[1], and specifically, Dennis Waakop has been identified as the primary producer behind several of his biggest hits, including "Feel it In My Bones," "Escape Me," and "I Will be Here" ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual points need to be considered:

• Ghost production is actually a common practice in the EDM industry, not something unique to Tiësto ^[1]
• While Tiësto may not handle the technical production, he does contribute "great ideas for tracks" according to Waakop ^[2]
• The relationship between Tiësto and Waakop appears to be more of a collaboration, with Waakop being referred to as "the band" by Tiësto ^[2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement could be misleading in several ways:

• It implies there's something unusual or wrong about not producing one's own tracks, when this is actually standard practice in EDM ^[1]
• It doesn't acknowledge the creative input that Tiësto does provide to the tracks ^[2]

Who benefits from these narratives:

• Traditional music purists benefit from pushing the narrative that DJs should produce their own music
• Ghost producers like Dennis Waakop benefit from keeping the current system in place, as it provides them with steady work while allowing DJs to focus on performing
• The EDM industry as a whole benefits from maintaining the current system, as it allows for specialization between performers and producers
