Music has always been the biggest passion in Ronald van Gelderen’s (RvG) life. To mix love and hobby together, makes him standing at the top of his career now. In the Harbour City Rotterdam, The Netherlands, RvG had toyed around with the idea of producing music while studying to become a technical engineer.
It all started with his dad's turn tables and cassette player. While listening to the famous Dutch radio show "Soul Show" he cut and pastes the music and played it himself. He started his own pirate radio show at the age of 14. After he got caught, he started his own Drive Inn show. This became such a success, that he toured around mostly every weekend to school parties, weddings and kid's celebrations. Together with a friend he started a Hip Hop band called "Dutch Mob" where he scratched and wrote the lyrics.
RvG took the plunge in 1997 and started making music full time. In 1998 he released his first track, "My X-perience" under the alias Formologic (Label: Flammable Records). His next follow up was "Sweet Substance" under the alias N-Fluence and quickly was signed up by Paul Oakenfold´s label Perfecto. After this release RvG gained notable reviews in the Dance scene. Plunging into producing full-time in 1999, RvG has proven to be the master of his unique "slightly tough" sound with strong melody structures and a cutting edge. RvG signed up at the label "TSUNAMI" and released some famous hits in the dance scene: Kid Vicious "Paraphrase", Kid Vicious "Re-Form" (B-side mix from DJ Tiesto), Van Gelderen "Konga", Van Gelderen "Aftershock", Electrobis "Phonetic", Kid Vicious "Pants Down Spanking", Electrobics "Indecisive", Electrobics "Look Who' Stalking", Kid Vicious "Contagious", Mix Compilation: Tsunami vol. 2 mixed by Kid Vicious, RvG "Proceed", RvG "Sustain" and RvG "Crying Out".
RvG not only produced his own tracks, he also produced together with DJ Tiësto the tracks "Urban Train" and "Suburban Train" which entered the UK single chart at #22.
The year 2003 was another successful year for RvG. The release of his single "PROCEED" became a big favourite in the worldwide dance scene, with great airplay (8 weeks in a row) by Judge Jules on BBC Radio 1. Suffice to say, this record has been on the play list of all big jocks all over the world. After "PROCEED" RvG came back with another smash hit "SUSTAIN" which again had the same results. With his follow up he decided to experiment with using his own vocals and the result was the record "CRYING OUT".
His remix of Rapid-Eye's "STEALIN’ BEAUTY", and Ferry Corsten's "PUNK" has also been recognized by both DJ's and clubbers all over the world. Further more he did remixes for Libra (BT), Dream (Japan), LASGO, the Dutch singer Birgit Schuurman, to name a few.
For the UDC event "IMPULZ" RvG mixed the compilation: Impulz mixed by Ronald van Gelderen. The same as the event, the compilation was a big success in Holland
After 6 years of dedicated work for the TSUNAMI label, RvG decided it was time for a new challenge. Halfway 2004 he released his first track "COLD STORAGE" on ID&T Records / Be Your Self Music. "COLD STORAGE" was a huge bang, reached #7 in the Dutch Dance charts and was played out by big names all over the world.

With his latest single “REALIZE”, Co-produced by Benno de Goeij (from Rank 1), RvG delivers again a full fire hot as hell tech driven monster with boy R.A.W. himself providing the vocals. Thick beats rolling basslines is the best way to describe the energetic original version. Adding a perfect sounding vocal for the finishing touch and here you have yourself a rock-your-tits-off monster. The ‘Stripped Down mix’, is for the ones who like it a bit more house driven! But…, don’t fool yourself as this little gem has more energy to unleash than you think. The record has already got massive support as ferry Corsten featured the record on his recent Essential Mix, Armin van Buuren gave it several plays on his radio show and Marco V included it on his Combi:nations 2 album.
