The world's #1 DJ (at the time of writing). Although not my personal favourite DJ, this is probably a fair description.
Technically, Tiesto definitely is one of the best DJs in the world. His mixing is flawless, interesting, and unique. He plays tracks of various electronic genres, usually trance, but most importantly he plays to the crowd, and his sets seem to vary from country to country. Basically, if you want to hear it, Tiesto usually plays it.
His productions are variable. In the early years of trance, Tiesto produced with many other artists, in high-quality projects such as Kamaya Painters, Major League, and Gouryella. Nowadays, Tiesto just produces tracks that fit well into his mixing style, such as most of the stuff on 'Just Be', his most recent album.
Tiesto is an amazing remixer, with prime examples being his remixes of 'Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun' and 'Delerium - Silence', which have both become absolute classics of the genre. He seems to be open-minded, and experiments with remixes, which is an attitude particularly obvious in his 'Radiohead - Street Spirit' and 'Dave Matthews Band - The Space Between' remixes.
As is expected of someone so high up in his field, many people insist on putting Tiesto down; and their motive is usually jealousy. Tiesto's mixes and productions are not for everyone, but it is easy to see why he is respected.

Get the mushmug. An expression typically used by trance junkies, when they hear a decent track.
Sometimes it can be used in the ironic sense, and needn't be associated with a track of outstanding musical merit. For example, upon hearing 'Tiesto - Traffic', while hardly a work of genius, omg choon would still be an appropriate reaction, because, well...it's 'Traffic' innit.
See: OMG I DIE, omgtijs, etc.
