Airwave joins the Broadcast! Laurent Verronez lived in Brussels until he was 20, experimenting with computers and synthesizers in his home. After sending his first demo to Lightning Records - the original home of the infamous Bonzai label -, he became one of the main artists of the new age in electronic music. After the first small successes with PLG, North Pole, Montera and Magnetix, he had his first breakthrough with the first release of Fire & Ice, produced together with DJ Fire. He decided to move to Antwerp so he could concentrate more on his product ional work. The first results were new releases for Fire & Ice, Planisphere and Meridian. After that he evolved more and more and faster and faster becoming a real professional artist by producing Airwave as a main project carrying his producers name known as L-Vee. All that together with the launch back then of Bonzaï in the UK, made him in an instant a star in the trance progressive music scene. Besides all that he was also commissioned to make remixes for the likes of Yves Deruyter, Da Hool, Aurora, Solar Stone, Blue Alphabet, Push, Jones & Stephenson, ... Laurent has always essentially been influenced by the roots of electronic music, since the early beginning, from Kraftwerk to FSOL or great producers like Jarre, Orbital, Oliver Lieb and one of his big admirations BT, ...All of them are still taking his breath away. He defines his own musical style as "pure electronic dance music with a sniff of electronica and trance and progressive sounds" which is a result of many years of discovering, getting inspired by his musical heroes and being guided by his record label Bonzai, whom he calls "the gods of music & technology". Now a new era is born, after the disappearance of his main label home Lightning Records, he is back more than ever as being a co-owner and A & R for Banshee Worx, the newly formed record label together with DJ/producer star Yves Deruyter and Fly (owner of Bonzai) and Marnik (A & R + international from the former Lightning Records). His first release through the renewed Bonzai was "When Things Go Wrong", part of the original album "Believe". Now one year later after the disappearance of Lightning Records, his album is available again in a new adapted version containing the original album version and a 2nd CD containing unreleased tracks and mixes. Together with this album the new single "Ladyblue" ,which is already considered to be a "classic", will be released in a special 2 part vinyl edition. Also be sure to check out the new Airwave album "I Want To Believe" and his website at www.djairwave.com
Yves Deruyter makes his debut on the Broadcast! He started his DJ career about 18 years ago playing in famous Belgian clubs such as: Globe, Barocci, Cherrymoon, Illusion, Extreme, Bel-Air, Carat, Maxx, and a lot of others... and as so many other djss he began producing his own music. He was soon after signed to Bonzai Records with his first single Animals becoming a big club hit in Belgium. With his second single he made a big jump into the German market. Rave City became a big success with more than 50.000 sold units. The follow up Calling Earth was again a success with 70.000 sold singles. All this was the start of a successful story At this stage people started watching for Yves Deruyter to play at big events such as May Day, Love Parade, Energy, Nature One, Trance Energy, Inner City, Mysteryland, Qontact, Frequence, Inside Out, Passion, Godskitchen, The Gallery, Slinky, Frisky, Gatecrasher, I love Techno, Axion Beach Rock, Antwerp Is Burning, Clubland and so many more... . A Story About House was to be the next Cherrymoon Trax single, but due to unforeseen problems it was changed into a new Yves Deruyter single. His follow up single "The Rebel" was immediately signed for the world. "The Rebel" was a top tune and the real international breakthrough for Yves. Yves Deruyter's vision of his future in music is and will always be the same: making music for the people. For him it is important that the people have fun while they're listening/dancing to his music. In the past he used to work with Frederico Santini, but now his counterpart is Dirk "M.I.K.E." Dierickx (Push, The Blackmaster, M.I.K.E., Moon Project) and Laurent (L-VEE, Airwave, Green Martian) who are currently one of the most important producers from Bonzai Records. You can find out more about Yves by visiting www.ydr.be and keep an eye out for his current release "On The Move"
DJ Fire joins the Broadcast for the first time! As Jurgen Leyers would take it upon himself to entertain the masses with his musical wizardry behind the turntables at school, it came as no shock that his passion would one day take a professional turn. Gradually, he exchanged his school performances, musically wide ranged as they were, for full blown dance dj sets.
When he joined the crew of Rave FM (1993), it became apparent that his true passion had become the electronically spun sounds of an up and coming new Belgian vibe. Guest performances at Belgium's better dance clubs were soon to follow and his sets at venues in Germany (Dorian Gray, Frankfurt/ Euphoria Rave, Hannover), The Netherlands (First Flash to Eden, Mysteryland '99, Trance Buddha and Ministry of Dance) and Switzerland (Highway) clearly illustrated that Fire had become a dj of international esteem. Meanwhile he started playing at "The Qu", "The Hole", "Bel Air", "Fauna" and "Club X" as resident Dj and performed several guest-dj sets at "La Scala", "Extreme", "Zillion", "BBC", "Illusion" and "Cherrymoon", to name but a few.
His first efforts as a producer in 1997 were soon rewarded when Fire teamed up with Dimitri Dewever and Francis van Mechelen (Francis better known as Cisko Kid). This first project, "Energy Source", was a small hit in the clubs and charted in the official Belgian dance chart. His breakthrough as a producer became obvious when subsequent team efforts between Fire and other producers (such as Dimitri Dewever, Laurent Veronnez and M.I.K.E.) resulted in top 10 positions in the dance charts, the most successful of which were "Fire & Ice" and a number of their remixes... For instance, their remix of Sonic Inc's "The Taste of Summer" was number 1 for 2 weeks in the Belgian Dance Charts.
Currently Fire is playing as a guest-dj at several different locations in Belgium and Holland. In 2002 Fire played on a truck on the Love Parade in Berlin, a big Bonzai-night in Scotland (UK) and on the Summer boat party in Oslo, Norway... This past year saw him playing at leading clubs in Hamburg (Germany), Zurich (Switzerland) and he also held a residency in Dutch club Club-X.
New releases include a new Fire & Ice and Dj Fire. The first 2 Dj Fire-releases did well commercially. Both reached top 20-positions in the Belgian dance charts and were on play lists of all major trance jocks. His remixes on tracks of Paragon and Fire & Ice were well received and played by many... Other collaborations with new artists are planned. Currently DJ Fire has just released his newest single, "Religion" available through Bonzai. Be sure to check out www.dj-fire.com
