Fanatics - Ran-D

From the moment he first laid eyes on a guy behind the turntables on a big rave, he knew that that’s where he wanted to be some day. He bought my first pair of tables back in ’99 and he just couldn’t stop spinning. He always had a thing for the harder styles in music, so when hardstyle was born he loved it right away. He played with histables every day and night, trying to perfect his skills, and in 2001, he got the first small performances.

After a while he felt that only spinning tracks from other producers just didn’t satisfy him anymore. He had a lot of ideas and creativity that he was dying to let out, so he started producing somewhere in 2003.

When he accidentally switched record bags with some guys at a gig, who happened to be the owners of a small Dutch hardstyle label called Special Records, this resulted in his first release in 2006.

Having had a taste of releasing my tracks on vinyl, he spends even more time on developing his skills and sound as a producer. After a release on the Italian label Droppin' Beats, he got into contact with Arjen and Anco Timmermans, better known as the Alphatwins. The Ran-D sound and A2-records were a perfect match.
