Sied Van Riel (Subtraxx, Expedition Music)
M. Franciscus van Riel is what his pasport says. But people have been calling him Sied ever since he was a little kid. So it's for that reason that he doesn't listen to either of his first names simply because he isn't used it.
Most of the time you can find Sied in his studio at his home in Spijkenisse The Netherlands. It's there where he spends all of his free time "and also in my bedroom" he says.
Beeing a huge music fan, and enjoying life to it's maximum Sied gets his inspiration out of everyday life as he lives it today. Using that and pumpin' it directly into his sound is what makes his music.
Winning all sorts of competitions back in 94/95 at the age of 17 and also the biggest one in Holland that year by playing hardcore music Sied found out that this wasn't his thing. He eventually stopped playing this type of music and went on looking for a style which lay closer to his hart & mind. It took a few years before he finally found it.
Progressive & Trance music.
He sold almost of his hardcore minded records to a friend and started buying a new collection and also started to learn this musicstyle he fell in love with. Listening to different dj's and also got influenced by them. Sied also invested in a home studio so he could learn to produce his own tunes.
Now in 2006 Sied is back and here to stay!
With "Fearless" beeing his debut release on Finnish Label Subtraxx owned by Miika Kuisma he couldn't haved wished for anything better. The track was played by all major players such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond, Mike Koglin, (to name a few) and also selected for various compilations world wide. His remixes for Corydalics in May 2006 where also bonged on dancefloors worldwide, also released on Subtraxx. His next release "My Dreams" is already storming dance floors with massive support again by the big boys. He's currently working out alot of remixes for various dj's and also started some projects with other dj's such as Miika Kuisma and Dutch based dj Dazzle.
He recently joined Tiësto on his In Search of Sunrise 5 Tour to do warm up sets in Istanbul, Antalya and Cyprus with great succes and is also preparing for a Tour thru Eastern Europe with Subtraxx artists Dallas Superstars & Miika Kuisma.
Growing and maturing his sound in the studio, Sied is certain to keep on going.
As the dutch saying goes.
It's better to have 10 pigs in the air, then one in your hand ( because they are pretty heavy you know.. )
