package is complete…



As a DJ, Ronald van Gelderen leaves his trade mark

on global club land, attending big European festivals

like Trance Energy, Mystery Land, Dance Valley, Free Festival,

Pleasure Island, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System, Top Fest,

Dancetination, Sunrise Festival and touring as far as China,

Australia, USA and Canada in recent months. Leading promoters

are also fast taking to the RvG-sound and style; with bookings

at the biggest clubs around the globe his DJ diary is fully

booked every weekend.



As a producer, Ronald van Gelderen is very much

cutting out his own sound in the global market place.

His style is trance, electro, tech and rock all rolled into

one phat soundtrack. But best of all is that as well as

tweaking the studio controls, RvG also writes and performs

all the vocals himself!



Since '97 RvG first left his mark as a producer

under the famous Kid Vicious alter ego. He released

the massive club hits 'Re-Form', 'Pants Down Spanking'

and 'Contagious' and went onto co-produce with Tiësto,

penning 'Urban Train' and 'Suburban Train' before finally

getting behind his own name, releasing the big hits ‘Proceed’

and 'Sustain' on Tsunami, 'Cold Storage' on the ID-T imprint

and remixing 'Carte Blanche' on Positiva and Dogzilla

'Without You' on Nebula to huge critical acclaim in recent

years. Ronald appeared to have found his groove at the High Contrast

label of Be Yourself Music and where he just scored

several big hits in a row; 'F!lth', 'This Way', 'Realize',

‘Embrace Me’, ‘Rush’ and 'Dirty Rocker'.



However, the beginning of 2009 made RvG realize

that next to producing for the High Contrast label,

it was time for another step in his career. Creating

a platform to express himself more in a way that would

give him that liberating feeling . A platform that

would give a solid ground for himself and fellow artists

in the shape of his own record label. Raw-Sessions Recordings

, was born. With the first releases ‘Backstabberzz’,

‘Vinkenpark’, ‘Frantic’/’Burnout’, ‘Liam Rocks’,

‘Devil With A Cause’ and ‘In Control’; the label

proved to be a successful player next to the other

labels in the dance industry.



Ever though his own label has proved to be

very successful, the High Contrast label still

proves to be the Dirty Rocker’ solid home base.

After releasing a bunch of tracks on RAW Sessions,

van Gelderen strikes back witch a pounding club stomper:

‘Semper Fi’! This smashing release contains remixes

of John O’Callaghan and Artento Divini. Release date: August 23rd 2010.



To ensure 2010 was going to turn out as

Ronald van Gelderen’s year, the famous Rock

band Skunk Anansie requested him to provide their

new debut single ‘My Ugly Boy’ - from the comeback album

‘ Wonderlustre’ - with a outstanding remix.

Van Gelderen was contacted by the record company

of Skunk Anansie to provide the new single with that

typical ”van Gelderen sound”… Known for his

rough-around-the-edges energetic uplifting euphoric,

sound, and his extravagant reputation as the ‘bad boy’

in the dance industry, and always bringing urban disruption

with his smashing productions, blended in perfectly

in what the band Skunk Anansie stands for. A pounding

combination of rolling beats, sweat soaked synthlines

and the always brilliant vocals by Skin, followed by

the drums and guitars of the band itself, were the perfect

ingredients for a successful remix. After personal approval

of the band the release of the remix is scheduled for

the end of August.



Ronald proves once again that he is still part

of the big league and that the success of his career

is still going, and growing strong.
