Cocoon about Egbert:
Egbert Van Der Gugten is currently one of the most promising talents
within the field of electronic dance music. Jeroen Verheji alias
Secret Cinema, whose attention was drawn to Egbert via myspace.com,
invited him on the spur of the moment to his parties and his studio
last year, and thus smoothed the way for Egbert to the Dutch Techno
scene. After his debut on Lo-Fi Soul, it was mainly his "Vlammen-EP"
on Michel de Hey's EC Records in February 2009, which went down a bomb
on the dancefloors and belonged to the basic vinyl inventory of Sven
Väth's record case in this season. With "Vreugdevuur", Egbert still
tops this and provides us with a musical exclamation mark that sets
standards in harmonic but consequently demanding TechHouse somewhere
in between Dub, Progressive House and Detroit. The subsonic bass
around the central organ motif will be your companion in between
dreaming and dancing in this late autumn, promised! A different sound
approach is taken by the flipside "Groots Uitpakken" with its
tremendously energetic wall of sound, a nocturnal trip through
slow-motion vocal tatters, whose string breaks provide it with an
irresistible pull.

Bio
Egbert’s passion for music started in 1994 after listening to some tracks a friend made with ST3 music software. He took a copy of the program back home and started making music at the age of nine. Over the years he was mainly influenced by such artists as Radiohead, Pete Namlook, Murcof, Secret Cinema and Marco Carola.
Being the music lover that he is, he visited parties regularly from an early age. He would take CD’s containing his productions and beg DJ’s to play his songs. When a friend handed him a Mauro Picotto CD, he was first introduced to techno. It was love at first sight and soon Egbert was producing his own techno. His first release, “Stroom EP” was released in march 2008 on Lo-Fi Soul Recordings. After listening to Egbert’s tracks on Myspace Jeroen ‘Secret Cinema’ Verheij was convinced the young producer had a lot of talent and invited him to join his agency. After spending some time in the studio with Verheij, he was soon performing impressive live sets at the ‘Secret Cinema Invites’ events. The next step was the release of his second EP ‘Vlammen’ on Michel de Hey’s EC-records in February of 2009. With a number of quality productions lined up to be released in 2009 he is currently one of Holland’s most promising artists.
my latest 12" vinyl is out now. Digital release to be expected in december.
