BOY LAMOEN
Boy Lamoen (born June 4, 1982) may strike you as a calm and quiet boy. But once you put him behind the decks to get the crowd going, he leaves everything behind him. Can't stand still for even a second. Goosebumps all over the place when the party people in front of him put their hands in the air. For Boy Lamoen, spinning one of his own successful productions is the biggest blast of all. His sound is a mixture between techno, electro and trance, with a huge amount of funk and a lot of climaxes.
During his younger years, metal & punk was what he liked to listen to and even played with several bands. After eight years of guitar lessons, Boy makes a life
changing turn when he is 17 years old: he dedicates himself to dance music.
Together with Tom van der Heijden he starts `Collusion'. After only six months their first success is a fact: `Impetuous' reaches the number 1 position in the Dutch, Spanish, Suisse, Norwegian and Belgium dance charts. The track emerges on several
compilation cd's and the associated video appears frequently at TMF and The Box (leading music television channels in the Netherlands). Followed by the hit `Conspiracy' (nr.1 Dutch, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish dance charts, Hyperstate 2002 Anthem), their name is made in the international dance industry. Besides producing, they travel around the country to perform for big and smaller audiences. Boy's preference for trance music becomes obvious with `Furthermost' (Rider in the Sky), Boy and Tom's 4th release, under the pseudonym `Solicitous'. Another massive hit, played by the big (international) trance masters. Hereafter the collaboration between Boy and Tom comes to an end. Accordingly, Boy Lamoen goes solo!
A new era arises, filled with performing in the clubs. And of course he continues producing and developing his music to the max. About six months after the Collusion
break up, Boy releases his first solo project: `John Remedy - Ventricle'. Two months later, under a different name but with the same pumping energy, `Lamoen - Increase' appears. Boy Lamoen is definitely not overlooked and very soon brought to the attention of Ti?sto, Armin van Buuren, Johan Gielen, Paul van Dyk én Jochen Miller. There happens to be a musical chemistry between Jochen Miller and Boy Lamoen. After some rendezvous and listening to each others tracks, they decide to have some fun together. The first result of this collaboration will be in the stores soon: `Modena - Resonator' (including Cor Fijneman remix, Dedicated label United Recordings). Also his own new single is about to release, `Boy Lamoen - Do you Think'. Anita Kelsey (D*note - shed my skin/ Cor Fijneman - Healing) lent her beautiful voice to this track. With these productions and smashing performances (for example in
The Matrixx) Boy is expanding his borders. And the best is yet to come!
