Dj Danjo & Rob Styles

[TRANCExual]

::Biography::

Rob Styles (Robbert Vroegindeweij) was born on the 5th of february, 1980 in Rotterdam - The Netherlands. At the age of 14, he first gets to know the principles of producing music. It all starts with a 4-channel mod tracker. Despite of the poor sound quality and limited possibilities, producing music really steals his heart.

Some time passes, the equipment gets better, the quality of productions is increasing. In 1996, at the age of 16, Rob sends a demo with some of his productions to the record company Hotmusic in Rotterdam. The response couldn’t be better: within two days, his first record deal is a fact. During the following three years, the first steps into the music business are made.

At Hotmusic, Rob releases various records on the labels of Stealth and Haunted House, under the names of Kynthos, Robbert V and Upstream. The Kynthos release becomes successful in Greece, Upstream – Eggplant Adventures is placed on Arcade’s Trance Top 100. Rob teams up with DJ Quinten de Rozario (who’s performing very well with Jessie K at this moment) resulting in lots of fun - and a release from the ‘Wise Grrrls’. In this Hotmusic period, Rob also does a few remixes, among which a track called Atomic Playboy, a track originally produced by Wessel van Diepen.

In the years that follow, Rob finishes high school and starts his study of Industrial Design Engineering at the University of Technology in Delft. This is where he meets Danjo Raijer (DJ Danjo) in the summer of 1998. Soon, Rob and Danjo start producing together. Quite a few months later this results in a demo CD, which is presented to the well-known company BPM Dance, in november 2000.

In the end of 2000, Rob is contracted by BPM Dance. At BPM, things really get rolling. Together with DJ Danjo, Rob releases several 12-inches. DJ Danjo & Rob Styles - Witness (also remixed by Katana) is released on Trilamb, shortly followed by Anticipating / State of Thrust on the famous Silver Premium label. Also a fabulous DJ Danjo & Rob Styles remix of Jas van Houten’s Heaven’s Gate conquers the stores. All tracks even climb the dutch dance charts!

When BPM Dance quitted releasing in 2003, negotiations with two other record companies started, both resulting in a succesful deal. New DJ Danjo & Rob Styles releases were signed to a new company, Armada Music, founded by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron and David Lewis - and bombing the trance scene with excellent quality releases from the very beginning!

At the same time, in Belgium, a new trance project was given birth: Danjo & Rob signed to BansheeWorx (formerly known as Bonzai Records) and started a project called 'Primer', with an excellent first release: Indulge / The Silver Lining.

The Danjo & Styles productions are supported by the world’s top DJs. They can be found on the playlists of DJ Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Judge Jules, Armin van Buuren, Marco V, Signum, Katana, DJ Joop, Mark Norman, Cor Fijneman, George Acosta, DJ Mind-X, Yves deRuyter, The Freak, Alex M.O.R.P.H and many, many others!
