My new track ‘Cruising’ has been released on Laidback Luke’s ‘Mixmash Records’ on the 30th of January. It’s a progressive house track with bigroom melodies and some huge house beats. A preview has recently arrived on the Mixmash Soundcloud.

So be sure to check it out!

A perfect match for playing back-to-back with Nash One is another Dutch upriser Michael de Kooker, better known as a musical chameleon for his creative diversity and ability to produce in almost all dance styles. And what a rave his “Cruising” track on Back2Back Series Vol. 5 is! With the roof-blowing buildups and smashing drops this man surely cooked a new addiction for you! Michael de Kooker was already heard with his “The Twist” supported by Tiesto and Paul van Dyk and his remix on Verachocha – Carte Blanche that spined in the top Dutch charts.

Bringing you the real taste of summer, taking you in with warm, sun-drenched beats, is the latest piece descending from Michael de Kooker’s studio: ‘Beam’.

Weather might be looking gray and rainy today, but there’s no smile ‘Beam’ can’t fix.

‘Beam’ was recently selected for Misja Helsloot’s brand new compilation, ‘Beyond Tomorrow’, where it completes the album with a lush, dreamy prog-trance sound.
Pleasing the balearic-minded as well as the long-term trance fans, ‘Beam’ keeps the feel-good spirit high up and the diversity flowing. And that’s exactly what MDK is all about.

Release date: January 16 on Extended Music

Michael will introduce you to some of his musical mindscapes and experiments. ‘Ray of Sunshine’ and ‘Come Home’ are two perfect examples of what open-mindedness sounds like.
Let go of the genres, step outside that box and turn up the volume!

Enjoy the Experiment playlist on Michael’s Soundcloud!

Michael de Kooker – Ray of Sunshine

Michael de Kooker – Come Home

The  festival season hasn’t had its official kick-off yet. Not until this one kicks in. It crawls from the deep, builds towards madness, till it eventually breaks like the sun through the clouds. We’re dealing with ‘Raw’ here, and it’s about to hit your speakers.

After releasing his ‘My Little Music Box’ E.P. on Armada’s Pilot 6 imprint, Michael hands in a favour for the festival visitors. ‘Raw’ has got that hard-hitting punch to make the crowd go wild, but the soft, melodic core to keep the ladies going. Start a little pre-party and turn up the volume on this ‘Raw’ deal…..

Arguably the biggest summer-track of 2010, ‘Stare Into The Sun’ has all ingredients to make you shake it down with nothing but feel-good vibes. Shortly after the release of his ‘My Little Music Box’ E.P. on Pilot 6, Michael reveals his translation of this anthem.

The result? Michael picked up that same feel-good vibe and gave it a firm, piano-infused swirl, making ‘Stare Into The Sun’ a cheerful, danceable mix of progressive-house. More than fit for shimmering hot Ibiza nights and peak-time festival moments.

You’ll rarely find a producer that manages to switch and blend styles so flowing like Michael does. The Dutch talent likes to touch boundaries, so he can erase them and create a new, unknown combinations to sweep the floors with.The MDK sound has always touched the edge of something, whether it was his trancy ‘The Twist’, bold and tough ‘Glow’, tech-house flavoured ‘Whoohoo’, sun-drenched ‘Fundo Nua’ or remixes for Ruben de Ronde, Dave Graham, Vincent de Moor and Veracocha.

It’s that last one that caused his real breakthrough in EDM, his legendary remix for Veracocha classic ‘Carte Blanche’ blew dance land away. With a Dutch Top 40 position and Radio 538 Dance Smash title, the future shows unlimited possibilities for Michael.

Well, the future is now and you’ll find it on Pilot 6 in ‘My Little Music Box’ & ‘Dear Daisy’.Growling its way up to unravel a big-bass anthem with a hauntingly beautiful and eerie break, is ‘My Little Music Box’.
