22.01.2009 - Artist of the Week: Rowald Steyn

You can say a lot about the guy, but claiming he doesn’t have guts sure isn’t one of them. Rowald Steyn stroke down in an area not too many producers dare to land on. The untouchable classic ‘Wamdue Project – King of my Castle’ balanced in his hands, and was remade in his The Hague-based studio to receive a new, 2009 feel to it. A big, chart-popping success, we must say. But Rowald doesn’t necessarily need someone else’s input to produce something good. His own proggy duo-pack ‘Hold Control/Revolution’ has just been released on our Pilot 6 imprint and is all set to destroy some dance floors along its way. Rowald might be a bit of a mystery man, as he prefers to let the music speak for itself, but we’re going to take a sneak peek into his life anyway. Hold tight as we pass by odes to Ibiza, hit some negative feedback and hike down to hi-fi liking.

One of the new discoveries in the progressive house movement is Rowald Steyn. This Dutch producer recently shocked the world with his 2009 remake of club classic ‘King of my Castle’. But this guy doesn’t necessarily need old material to score a hit. He’s now showing off his skills in ‘Hold Control’ and ‘Revolution’. His frisky, addictive style is one hard to resist. ‘Hold Control’ is the type of tune that makes you speed just a tad faster while driving down the highways, and fixes your sight to an endless horizon of beats, loops and thrilling melodies. ‘Revolution’ is a true highlight anthem, with a pure melodic break and a steady build-up towards it all. Be sure to keep an eye on this producer, cause you’ll surely be hearing his work down the clubs.
