The power a DJ can have over a crowd can be overwhelming. Listening to a set from our next guest can lead you to GET THIS FEELING like you have been in LAS VEGAS and you are JUST TRIPPIN after one too many cocktails. But once he gets the WHEELS IN MOTION you will start to feel THE VIBE.You may even get the urge to do crazy things, perhaps you will want to PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR DETROIT and behave like THE CREEPS who ring you at 3am in the morning saying, “I MISS YOU”.
Best I hurry along because although Madonna and JT will give you 4 Minutes to Save the World, this man will only give you 3 MINUTES TO EXPLAIN because he TAKE NO SHHHHHH.
Who is our next guest?…. LET ME THINK ABOUT IT…Fedde le Grand, welcome to the Hump Day Crew.
Rare breeds like Fedde Le Grand are few and far between, and so when someone like this comes along it’s right that the world sits up and listens. He’s a Dutchman blessed with such talent that keeping up to speed with what he does is a task in itself It could be said Fedde came out of nowhere, riding off the success of a hit record. Well, to set the record straight; this couldn’t be further from the truth. Le Grand has spent the majority of his earlier youth grafting, spinning records in his Native country and cutting tracks until the inevitable happened. Put your hands up for Detroit was produced in the bedroom, released by one of the biggest labels in dance, and it enabled Fedde to step out into the world of Electronic Dance.
His abilities in the studio are endless. Together with his good friend and production partner Funkerman, they’ve churned out some immaculate material that has slotted into an absolute cross section of fellow DJS. The Flamingo Recordings imprint now stands as one of the most forward-thinking and exciting labels in EDM, with top flight acts eagerly hanging on for news of new releases and remix work.
Fedde’s production talents have been called upon by the great and the good over the past few years. 2008 sees him work with two major music acts, Grammy Award-winning Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am, and Madonna – the name says it all. Famed for picking up the hottest talent, Madonna mixed Put your hands up for Detroit with Music for her recent promotional tour, to rapturous response, but the queen of pop didn’t stop there. Next came an invitation for Fedde to remix Give it 2 Me, the second single from the album Hard Candy. Fedde now joins a select group of producers to work with the Queen of Pop, including Mirwais, William Orbit and Stuart Price aka Jacques Lu Cont. The ultimate seal of approval if ever one were needed and straight from the queen of pop!
Add to all the above Fedde’s rammed DJ diary, including his residency at world-famous Pacha Ibiza, countless festivals and headline gigs around the world, and it’s clear that this is man who has conquered his game, plans to stay there for a long time to come. With his debut artist album Output released in the second half of 2008, he is set to storm the international music charts and cement his position as a household name. His passion for music is evident; the quality of his sound is undisputed. Fedde Le Grand might just be looking for a name change; perhaps Fedde Le Tres Grand is on the horizon?
Fedde will be in Melbourne for NYE 2008 playing at Sensation. Check out the below video to see Feed at a past Sensation Dance Party.
