Rank 1 received their third golden record for 'Awakening'. From left to right: Piet Bervoets, Dick de Groot (A&R ID&T) and Benno de Goeij.

The story started around 1997 when Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeij met each other at a party. Piet already was into music and DJ'ing and had his own studio at the time. This sounded very interesting to Benno, who had no experience at all in producing. Benno already had a perfect ear for good melodies, due to his classical musical background by playing the piano and the keyboard. They decided to cooperate and the first releases as Pedro & Benno soon followed. After many successes under different artist names, the name Rank 1 was born in 1998, as a joke. They thought it would be nice to see this name at a number 1 position! But the joke became reality when 'Airwave' hit numerous charts at that position.

After this they had many successes like their remix of Cygnus X's 'Superstring' , the Sensation theme of 2000. Their next single 'Such Is Life' became next years Sensation anthem, was released in July 2001 and climbed the charts with the speed of light. The album Symsonic, on which Piet and Benno demonstrated their variety, is not just an album for the dancefloor but one to listen to at home as well. Also a DVD with their live performance at Trance Energy 2002 is included along with their videos. Soon after this release their single "Awakening" hit the European charts.

The year 2003 was a busy year for them. Breathing was re-released, it was an updated version of Airwave, with a breakbeat remix. Afterwards they spent 6 months building their new studios which can be viewed on the webcam! They also started a side-project for a friend: "MAC J".

Nowadays the guys are working on a their second album. Rank 1 has a very tight schedule. In the weekends Piet is travelling around the world for the Rank 1 DJ-sets. Meanwhile Benno is creating new sounds. So when they meet up during the week they have lots inspiration for new records to come!

When it comes to interviews, Rank 1 is mostly reluctant to get into details. They rather let their music speak for itself, since they consider themselves as ordinary guys. With a lot of musical talent that is.

awesome awesome awesome

Live?? I don't think so. I think they're just playing a DJ set and it will only prolly be Piet Bervoets... could be along side Benno too, but not sure. I prolly won't make it down for this even though it sounds absolutely wikkid as Rank 1 are prolly one of the last DJ/producers that I want to see... ah well. Hopefully I can catch them some other time.

Have a great one to whomever goes,
Terry

fuck.. send me back to calgary

actually its already been confirmed that its live

Anyone here seen Rank-1???? Can anyone give me a dl on what they are like live????

try and find some of they're videos at sensation, obviously thousands and thousands in an huge arena is different than 500 in the warehouse but gives you a basic idea

Their website says otherwise... but maybe it's changed.

it does say DJ set on the website, but the warehouse is doing a month of live PA with Moda, Rank 1, Uberzone and locals.

I spoke to Dom about this tonight, his answer that they are to be live.

well if the djs website says so it must be true!!!

its been changed from their website
Live Set - Rank 1.
This is gonna be insane.
Only if it was at a better venue

I for one am happy with the venue. I have a blast everytime I'm at the warehouse. Tis like my home away from home.

just so people know, Rank1 isn't doing a live PA, its gonna be a DJ set with Piet alone, it will still be good, but heres the thread that the info was posted in:
clicky clicky

this and the other thread are going to be merged

Damn it!.. i can't make it to this show no more .. stupid work.. hehe.. other people had booked the time off already grrr..

i went to 2 underground locations today and they don't have tickets for Rank 1...and I have yet to see a (hardcopy of a) flyer...is this show going to happen?
