John Puzzle (Radu Ionut Adrian) was
born in the summer of '82 in the city Ramnicu Sarat, Romania. Music was his
first passion and this was discovered by his parents at the age of 4 when he
was playing drums using two spoons and a dining table. At the age of 7 he began
taking piano lessons in his home town until high school where he discovered the
way to create electronic music with computers and synthesizers. That was the
moment when he decided that house, techno and trance were the perfect music
genres for expressing himself. He made his way trough many studios in his
country producing for many romanian popular artists and working side by side
with well known romanian producers until he managed to make his own studio in
the year of 2002. Until now he produced at least 70 artists in his studio (
many of them reaching 1 top positions in Romania ) and he signed mainstream
projects with Universal Music UK and Mach 1 (MOS), projects made in cooperation
with Level K ( Frank Knebel ) and signed with the help of DJ VooDoo
(Voodoo&Serano). These songs have been remixed by names like Gabri Ponte, Angel
C, Potatoheadz, Jean Elan, DJ Raoul and Level K. Since June 2007 John Puzzle is
busy working in the studio, producing new and exciting tunes for himself. Being
a pianist he always was attracted by pure melody, soft and silky sounds and his
style is driven by these elements with enormous success making his tracks
original and catchy. His main target is to tell his story to the world trough
his tasty and pleasant sound.Listen song here:YouTube
Forget everything you know about the phrase “International
DJ,” and allow yourself the pleasure of meeting Ferry Corsten. The Dutch
superstar has consistently been voted one of the top 10 DJs in the world
(according to DJ magazine’s definitive Top 100 DJ chart) for five years. He’s
played for hundreds of thousands of fans – sometimes at once – in
amphitheaters, fields and nightclubs from Australia to Russia to white-hot
Ibiza. He took the party island’s “Best Trance DJ” prize at the annual DJ
Awards ceremony this year and two years ago; got tailed by some road-tripping
fans on a Southern Comfort-sponsored, 26-city bus tour of America; and had his
life’s work interpreted in music, video and décor at his annual
Masquerade event “Full on Ferry”, at 12,000-capacity arena Ahoy in his
hometown, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It’s all in a year’s work for the man
who’s been called the “architect, pioneer, and instigator” of trance music’s
global dominance. His style is so singular that synthesizer manufacturer Roland
commissioned a Corsten sound bank for their new SP-555 sampling unit. But it’s
so broad that it could meld with Public Enemy’s classic cut “Bring The Noise,”
on a Corsten remix that Chuck D himself called “the ultimate concoction of
pace, energy and lyrics.” A keen sonic curator, Corsten serves as the head
honcho for his record labels, Flashover Recordings, Aleph, Boom tssjak, and
Levare. Is Ferry Corsten a globe-trotting, club-packing, beat-dropping
superstar DJ? Most definitely. But that's just the beginning of the story...one
that's still being written.Listen song here:YouTube
Nick Van de Wall aka Afrojack is the latest DJ, producer, and remixer to
break through from the burgeoning Dutch dance music scene. Born in Spijkenisse

samples and create his own songs. After discovering the Rotterdam club scene,
he began performing short DJ sets before traveling to Crete to hone his craft,
playing at various clubs over a five-month period. Returning to his native
Holland, he signed to the independent Digidance label and released his debut
single, "Afrojack: In Your Face," before forming his own record
company, Wall Recordings, scoring club hits with "Math" and "Do
My Dance." Following performances at dance festivals Tomorrowland and
Sensation, and a collaboration on David Guetta's One Love album,
("Toyfriend"), he was invited to remix the likes of Madonna's
"Revolver" and Lady Gaga's "Alejandro." In 2010, he teamed
up with electro-pop vocalist Eva Simons on his first U.K. Top 40 hit,
"Take Over Control," and also released a rarities album, Lost and
Found, featuring nine previously unreleased tracks, in the same year.Listen song here:YouTube
