Yves Deruyter

Yves began his DJ career 10 years ago, when he started building a formidable reputation for himself within the Belgium club scene. Yves regularly played at a selection of famous venues, including, Extreme, Barocci, Globe and of course Cherrymoon, where Yves now holds a residency. His sharp, unique sound propelled him into the limelight, before he had even had the chance to embark on his production career.

Yves was one of the first artists to sign to Lightning Records, the mother company of Bonzai. Immediately he hit success, with his first single, �Animals�, that took Belgium by storm. People now began to take a lot of notice of Yves, and watched out for him at the major raves, such as: May Day, Energy and Nature One.

His second single, �Rave City�, made Yves huge in Germany, as it sold over 50,000 copies; and the follow up, �Calling Earth� was another huge success, selling over 70,000. However the tune that really put Yves on the international scene was �The Rebel�, alongside his first album, �The D-Album�. The YDR sound had become global.

Yves produced alongside the man behind �Push�, M.I.K.E. Which culminated in the huge trance smash, �To The Rhythm�, caned by the vast majority of British DJs, and hitting dozens of compilations. Other records followed, such as �Factor-Y� and more recently, the huge club hit, �Back To Earth�.

His tough tech-trance sound has seen him DJ across the world, from Gatecrasher, to the Berlin Love Parade. Yves�s production is now ranking with the most accomplished in the world, and the European market can�t get enough. He has already established himself as Belgium�s premier DJ, and now he�s aiming for Europe�s top spot. Remember Yves is a DJ, before a producer. He can rock clubs just as well as he can make records.

Yves is now playing regularly across the UK, rocking clubs such as Gatecrasher, Slinky, Inside Out, Passion and Promise.

Expect to see him even more in 2002, with a new array of Deruyter style mind � blowing tunes, heading your way.

Pulser

If you have been anywhere near a major club in the last 4 years, chances are you have got off your nut to a track written, remixed or produced by Andy Perring.

1999 saw �Spiritualised� by THE OLMEC HEADS released on Neo Records. The track was a huge hit with all the major-league DJ�s. Alex Gold of �Extravaganza Records� described Spiritualised as �The Biggest� tune heard at Privilege in Ibiza throughout �99.

The Olmec Heads, followed up with a string of top remixes for artists such as Moby, Apollo 440 and The Space Brothers before releasing their follow-up, a menacing trance tune called �Magicman�.

During this period Andy branched out and created �PULSER�. The first track under his new guise was �CLOUDWALKING�, released on fledgling UK label ATCR. Cloudwalking again smashed it and established Pulser as a major new name in Trance. Pulser�s second outing �LIGHTWAVE� was on Andy�s own label �Activation Records� and achieved fantastic exposure for the new imprint, making several major dance compilations around the world.

Never one to stand still, Andy is also one half of �INSIGMA� alongside Steve Helstrip of �The Thrillseekers�. Insigma�s first release also titled �Insigma� hit the mark with Pete Tong who played it week in, week out on Radio One. Mixing driving progressive trance rhythms with blissed-out melodies, Insigma�s follow �up �Open our Eyes � is pure dynamite, the fuse of which was lit by Paul Oakenfold and DJ Tiesto. Both DJ�s have continued to support the record since its initial promo�s were released in Jan 2001. VC records have since snapped it up and will unleash the new vocal mixes early 2002 and if 25,000 people at this years Gatecrashers Summer Sound System are anything to go by, it is set to become one of 2002�s biggest Anthems.

Andy has also teamed up with writer Danny Kirsch, responsible for several top 40 tracks including the Top 10 track by Lange- Drifting Away. The act is entitled Sacred and have already been snapped up by BMG Publishing.

Finding time for Dj�ing with such a heavy studio schedule can be difficult, but Andy can also be found out and about on the 1s and 2s. Confirmed gigs for 2002 include Luners (Japan), Red (Cyprus), Plaza Of Nations (Vancouver), Devoted To Trance (Finland), Agent 05 (Finland) and his residency Illusions (Finland.) Andy is also planning to increase his DJ�ing activities and has secured high profile slots at some of UK�s most prestigious club/festivals. Andy is equally at home warming up or smashing it with his main sets, Andy can appeal to many different floors whilst remaining an inventive and original DJ.

Looking forward to 2002, Andy will be releasing a new �PULSER� single in the spring. His remixes continue to dominate the floors of Gatecrasher, Godskitchen and Passion, with current monsters including JOSE AMNESIA�s � �THE ETERNAL� and his dark & tribal mix of MATT DAREY�s classic �BEAUTIFUL�, which has just received the accolade of being made Judge Jules� �Tried and Tested� tune. Future remixes include FAITHLESS -�DRIFTING AWAY� and he is just about start remixing the new DIDO single, from her new album.

TranceAddict Meetup

Ok, I have heard (read) a lot about a big TA meetup/camp area at WEMF 2K2, but haven't heard where.

So, I've taken the venue map from WEMF's site, and added a big TA Area box to it.

It's AREA W.

(No, AREA W is not on the official WEMF map, but pass this map around to your friends and family if you want. ).

If there's a different TA location, and I'm just totally out of the loop, please feel free to politely, or rudely let me know.

Aaron.

A Yes

--

--

I agree that it will fill up immediately, because it's the best spot. That's why I want it there.. I think TranceAddicts deserve the best spot.

I could add a secondary spot, for the "I couldn't get here early enough" TranceAddicts.

Q: Can we bring in botteled water individually, instead of bringing it in in an unopened case?
A:????

Posted by DJOS2 on Jul-24-2002 22:50:

As long as its sealed - any partially finished bottles are junked...

reason - booze in the bottles (vodka, gin, etc)
- drugs in the bottles - ghb, etc...
