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.
