Michael de Kooker – My Sweet Dani

The track ‘My Sweet Dani’, which I wrote for my girlfriend, is featured on the hugely popular Armada Lounge compilation, alongside tracks from artists such as Chicane, Sunlounger, Dash Berlin, Delerium, Way out West and more. It’s a more relaxed and laidback vibe from my other stuff, but I love…

Showcase: MDK experiments

Thinking outside the box is to think differently. Let go of boundaries, stepping outside the comfort zone. If anyone knows how to handle this, it’s Michael de Kooker. He’s done anything from deep, dark prog to moving, melodic trance, housy madness and techy violence. You’ll rarely find a producer so…

A raw MDK deal: free track give-away

The  festival season hasn’t had its official kick-off yet. Not until this one kicks in. It crawls from the deep, builds towards madness, till it eventually breaks like the sun through the clouds. We’re dealing with ‘Raw’ here, and it’s about to hit your speakers. After releasing his ‘My Little…

Van der Vleuten – Find My Way (Michael de Kooker Remix)

Combined Forces – 05-04-2009

Info: Already well known for his solid productions on labels such as Markus Schulz’s Coldharbour and Armada’s Cyber Records, Dutch trance producer Joost van der Vleuten now releases his first EP on Combined Forces. On this two-track EP he shows how he progressed as a producer, as these two tracks simply sound superb! With ‘Find My Way’ van der Vleuten has created an uplifting yet very well-balanced track, using classic sounds but still sounding fresh. On the flipside we find the dreamy ‘Lost In Nowhere’, which introduces the summer vibe we all have been waiting for so long. Michael de Kooker, famous for his 2008 reinterpretation of Veracocha’s Carte Blanche, lives up to his remix-fame by presenting a great version of ‘Find My Way’. Blending his trademark sound with the vibe of the original, De Kooker nails it again! All in all three extremely well-crafted trancers. Highly playable – so do what you gotta do!
