Fedde le Grand is, without doubt, one of the biggest DJs in the world. His
skills both inside and out of the studio are the stuff legends are made of.
Whether he’s demolishing legendary State-side festival Coachella on his debut
appearance; racking up a straight hat-trick of Beatport #1’s in the overall
charts with Autosave, Control Room and his massive remix of EBTG’s Missing,
completing the year with So Much Love and the massive remix of Colplay’s
Paradise; or touring most of the known world devastating clubland as he goes –
le Grand is the name on everyone’s lips. No biography of the Dutch artist could pass without mentioning
2006’s Put Your Hands Up For Detroit. It took one of Holland’s most
successful national DJs and propelled him to truly giddy heights of
international stardom. The track was number 1 in five countries – Spain,
Russia, Finland, Bulgaria and the notoriously hard to crack UK chart – and
scooped a raft of gongs including Best Underground House Track, Best
Breaks/Electro Track, Best Breakthrough Solo Artist at the IMDA and, Club
Banger of The Year at the 6th Annual Club Awards in Miami. His name was
everywhere, from radio and print to TV and online media. The world woke up to
the blistering and dynamic production work of Fedde le Grand, and he hadn’t
even scratched the surface of what was to follow.In 2009, the world waited as
news that Fedde was taking time out to produce his first studio artist album
began to filter through. Output was a breath-taking debut album where
Fedde pulled in his loves of house, electro, hip-hop, funk and jazz and
fashioned a piece of work that was both incredibly personal and dance floor
dynamite. Collaborations with Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, Rob Birch
(Stereo MCs), MC Gee, Mr V, Mitch Crown, Camille Jones, Ida Corr and more
provided Fedde with a rich and diverse pool of vocal talent to wrap his ideas
around. Successfully released to over 60 countries around the world, it yet
again proved Fedde could consistently push himself past his previous successes
and was hungry for more.Listen song here:YouTube
