Hey everybody,

am very happy and proud to announce that my album is officially out today! And I would like to use this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you that took the time to really listen to it either through the luisterpaal, soundcloud or promotional services. Your personal and heartwarming feedback has meant a lot to me and made the whole project more then worth it. But really it’s only just starting now off course ;-)
The CD version will hit (online) stores and chains today, the vinyl version will follow next week and the week after that it will be on Beatport.

Some nice reviews:

Laurent Garnier – “Acid, Chicago , House …when u hold me !!! Proper old school vibes on this ep …. LUV IT …..FULL SUPPORT!”
