Re: Locate
2006 Brought a lot of special things, especially the release of Paul’s debut album ‘Re: Locate – Rogue’. Much anticipated, and positively received, unofficially crowned album of the year, Rogue caused some great buzz around the Re: Locate alias! With collaborations with Jonas Steur, Menno de Jong, MIDOR, Thomas Bronzwaer and vocalists Susanna and Rebekka, it’s truly a diverse trance album. The track “Rogue” even made it into the Mega Top 100 in Holland! 2007 kicked off in style! Re mixing ‘Ferry Corsten – Beautiful’ one of the highlights, but more than that, was the world exclusive DJ Debut in Poland. 10,000 clubbers witnessed the kick off to what seems to become a hell of a DJ career. | [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
