   
Hello there and welcome to the website of Yurriaan van Duyn.
I mainly use this website to manifest my musical skills as DJ and producer onto the public. If you're interested, download some productions and DJ mixes or fill in the poll concerning my monthly rant. My most heard rant is about me hating Internet Explorer, so this website is optimized for use with Mozilla Firefox 3
If you're willing to book me for DJ or production jobs, please use the online forms as first contact with my crew. You can also get in touch with me immidiately, also using the online forms.
Well, for now I'd like to say goodbye, check me up once in a while and for questions and comments please do not hesitate to contact me!
Ciao,

A little announcement this time. Ow, business is going great! The Ibiza agenda is just a few bookings away from being full and most of the studio sessions are rewarded with a videoclip budget. But the thing is, I'm putting a little money into NRJ Worldwide radio network (website!). It has a strong fanbase down in Switzerland. And they have some frequencies in the Caribbean area. Pretty obvious there ;). No internet-only radiostation, but one with a descent FM-frequency. Just teasing you with the announcement, more to come later! |

2009 is coming to an end and 2010 is pushing it to take over the calendar! Already being booked for DJ/promotion gigs for the upcoming Ibiza season (30% of the agenda is already filled in!), the previous one is finally starting to pay off. Literally! Cash is steadily flowing in and ready to be invested into new projects. The Swiss studio is running at full capacity already to process all production requests and even more is to come next year! VIP's know the full story, but some high-end collaborations are planned for the first three months. More about those in a next post, as some details have yet to be concluded. I really need more people next year to cope with the demand...
One project I can talk about is Pacha's new residency night "Making a Dyff'rence". Preperations for this concept are progressing and the first actual night is planned around the last Saturday of February, somewhere in the world. The name can eventually change, but the development of the concept remains. If changes are made, you will be informed, don't worry.
A further new development in my professional life is the production of not two, not three, but four Nikki Beach CD's for next year! They insist I am personally involved with the projects and are willing to even change budgets for it! You can find all about it at Nikki Beach Music. Become a member and get lots of my tunes for free! Sweet...
What can I say more? Ow yeah, my Caribbean activities are also increasing. The Smoove department of Ministry of Sound will be collaborating with the new and rebooted TVT Records. That means more reggaeton/dance mashes from artists like Pitbull, Akon, Bob Sinclar, David Guetta and more. Did I just mention four hot, high-end artists in my public post? That's VIP stuff! I'm wishing a "Happy Fact-Checking"-year to the press ;)
Something less important, but sure relevant to the Caribbean activities is the move of some MoS-related labels/recordcompanies to the Dutch Caribbean, which will be formed under the wings of DATA and Smoove, and are used in the future to launch records and promotion activities for South and Central-America. What's my action into this? Getting some suntan lotion and chicks to kick it at the beach! And bring the cash of course.
Well, I've mentioned far more than is acceptable by my label managers, but guess who arranges their paychecks 'ey...
Bye for now and I'll catch you on some sunny island or jetset hotspot or something. Ciao!

*Sniff*... My Ibiza season is ending yet again. The decks are turning off. The decorations put away. The records go back into the bag. The bikini's return to their owners. Always hard to let go. Al the months, days, hours on the island, in the clubs, with the people. But! I won't be sad for a long time! Because this year, it's my first time tutorship with the Scratch DJ Academy. October 17th, a full day of teaching students how to mix on four turntables at once, both vinyl as well as the digital CD-decks. We have to see how it works out and if it does, we have another activity put on the list! But more about that after the tutor-weekend evaluation.
If you've looked real close at the left side of the site, you should've noticed the Monte Carlo Resorts - S.B.M. (Société des Bains de Mer) banner (MCS-SBM from now). In the Official Partner area! WTF?! Well, since August of this year, we are officially related businesswise. Where MCS-SBM is also owner of Hôtel de Paris, the place of Jimmy'z. Yeah, the high class Monte Carlo nightclub where I always spin with Mr. Gaudino during the Monte Carlo F1 Grand Prix! Further details of the deal is VIP stuff, but you can imagine it's juicy. Real juicy ;)
Also, I can inform you peeps about yet another extension of the Nikki Beach deal with two more albums. It's yet to be confirmed, but maybe I'll put in a solo-artist album collaboration specially for the franchise. Let's let that idea sink in a little...
Well, that's it for now and I'd like to say goodbye and see you at the clubs this autumn/winter!
Ciao,
Y. |
