After the successful first instalment of the mix-series ‘High Contrast presents…’, mixed by Marcel Woods, the turn for the second edition is for rising DJ star Joop.
Dutch DJ/producer JOOP has had his biggest year to date in 2007 and all the foundations are in place to build on that success. His epic track ‘The Future’ was chosen as the anthem of one of his country’s biggest dance music events - Trance Energy 2007, that saw him performing live on the main stage as the centrepiece of the night. The record has gone on to become one of the defining trance tunes of the year, with the top jocks still giving it pride of place at the front of their CD wallets.
He already holds a strong reputation as a producer with a tough progressive tech-trance style, strong rhythms garnished with instantly memorable melodies. The backing of one of the Netherlands’ biggest and most respected dance record labels, High Contrast, has helped push him to the forefront of the trance scene and led to him being recognised as one of its brightest talents. His first three singles, ‘Act Of God’, ‘The World’ and ‘Sonsuz’ instantly established JOOP as a producer of great skill, being hammered by all the top trance DJs.
This two disc’s counting compilation is showing Joop’s diverse and creative sound in optima forma. From progressive sounds to tech trance bangers, Joop is blending it all together into one smooth mix. Besides exclusive unreleased material the CD contains his big hitter ‘The Future’ and forthcoming release ‘On Top of Things’ / Prominent’.
High Contrast presents: is a new kind of compilation where ALL control over musical content is handed over to the artist. There is no dictation from label bosses, thus ensuring what you’ll hear will be 100% handpicked by the artist.
Joop is definitely be ‘On Top of Things’ with this new mix compilation!
