Installments[edit]

under Tiësto[edit]

The first seven installments in the In Search of Sunrise series were mixed by Tiësto.

The first installment debuted on the Billboard 200 at #170 with 4,200 sales.

Starting with the third album, each compilation was given a subtitle with a certain location that inspired the particular DJ.

For Latin America, the series expanded from a single CD to a 2-CD format.

under Richard Durand[edit]

On April 7, 2010, Tiësto announced that, due to his departure from Black Hole Recordings, he would no longer be involved with the In Search of Sunrise series.[3] The following day, Black Hole Recordings announced that the series would be mixed by Dutch producer Richard Durand.[4]

For Australia, the series expanded to a 3-CD format.

Later installments would feature guest DJs: Las Vegas featured Hungarian DJ duo Myon & Shane 54, Dubai featured British producer/DJ Lange, And Amsterdam, numbered "13.5" due to Durand's "13-phobia", featured American producer/DJ BT.

under Markus Schulz[edit]

The In Search of Sunrise name re-emerged for a 14th release following a 3-year hiatus. The location subtitle was dropped, but the series retained its 3-CD format. Markus Schulz became the de facto curator for the series, having been credited on all post-Richard Durand releases through 2022.

DVD[edit]

In the summer 2010 Tiësto released a DVD of his spring tour in Asia. From the Elements of Life World Tour and the beginning of his new world tour In Search of Sunrise: Summer Tour 2008.

The DVD includes many tracks from his In Search of Sunrise 7: Asia Album.
