Derek Sool

Started at the age of 11 with listening to a tape of the Grandmix '86 by Ben Liebrand. He knew that dance music was his thing in life. After many years of practicing mixing music with turntables and tapedecks and entering numerous of contests.

He ended up in the 1999 finals of the DMC Dutch House Mix Championships at Dance Valley. In the end he won this prestige battle from 80 competing djs. After this he became resident DJ in one of the biggest clubs in the Netherlands, Club La Xala, later Club A20 and Ministry of Dance in Rotterdam. And played clubs and festivals in and outside Holland. Such as Dance Valley, Nature One, Ruhr in Love, HotelArena, Hollywood Music Hall, Zino and many more.
In those days he finally outed his creativity with the track "Burning Up", wich was a small hit in Holland and Germany.
After this release, he did a remix on the classic track "The Ultimate Seduction" wich became an instant hit on the dancefloors around Europe.

After releasing 5 tracks on different labes like Tindy Tunes, Tremble Tracks and Skip Records, he felt that it was time to grow more in sound and style. And take a bit more time for family and friends...
Nowadays his style of music can be described as Soulful Techno-House. And fully embracing the technology from today to make the best mixes and edits for tomorrow. Inspired by artists and djs like Egbert, Joris Voorn, Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Secret Cinema and many others, he will give his signature sound to every set he plays.
With his weekly podcast "Sounds of Sool" on Soundcloud and Mixcloud, he's gaining more and more followers and fans. He is a well seen guest on the Housekamer parties at De Loods-Ridderkerk. And always looking for new music and making edits to make his set as special as possible. He is very busy with producing some new tracks to take his sounds to the next level.
