Marcel Theunissen
- Marcel is born in Eindhoven (Holland). He was a Marketing-student but also made music. When he was 15 (!) his first megamix was broadcasted as a BVD. Becaude off his big mouth (he told the DJ how good he was) a local Discotheque asked him to be their DJ. Fortunately his performance went great. In that Discotheque he met Ege. They started making Megamixes and smaller remixes which were broadcasted as BVD or Ricksmix.
- His big example..... Ben Liebrand.
Eeg van Kruysdijk
- Rockz (Eeg van Kruysdijk) was mixer van de eerste succesvolle house CD's van Nederland; de Turn Up The Bass Housepartyreeks van Arcade. Met zijn eerste zelf geproduceerde housetrack Egma - Let the Bass Kick" ( nr 8 in de top 100 dance chart) stond hij in de negentiger jaren aan de basis van de Nederlandse Electrohouse.
Na voor diverse internationale popartiesten remixen te hebben gemaakt (waaronder Twenty 4 Seven en London Beat) en mede verantwoordelijk was voor het succes van de meidenband Close II you produceerde hij ook een titelsong voor Walt Disney, en scoorde met de remake van de italiaanse hit "Tisento" in Nederland en Duitsland. Als 80's-90's DJ draait Eeg onder de naam "Jake van K" op verschillende locaties en was regelmatig te horen met 80's mixen in het programma van Corné Klijn op 3FM. Met The Nightgroovers - "It's a love thang" scoorde Eeg een enorme Ibiza Clubhit waarna hij de debuutvideoclip voor Latinhouse DJ Gregor Salto produceerde en regisseerde. Rockz is mede verantwoordelijk voor de keer op keer uitverkochte feesten Chocolatin en Duszdat, nam de zomerhit "Hypnotized" op met Sèbastien Lèger en heeft nu releases op o.a. Piapella Music met invloeden van Latin, Electro, Deephouse, UK Garage, funk en Chicago House. Na de succesvolle clubhit “What Have You Done For Me Lately” produceerde hij “Give” (Extrema theme 2009) samen met G-Lontra waarna de beste track op nr1 binnenkwam in de nationale charts. Vanwege de vele uiteenlopende produkties op dance en popgebied draagt Rockz een behoorlijke muzikale bagage waardoor hij zich staande weet te houden en te horen is op feesten tussen gevestigde namen als Gregor Salto, Ricky Rivaro, Billy The Klit, Sèbastien Lèger, Erick E, Roog en Benny Rodrigues.
EGMA The first record they made wa a big hit EGMA :"Let the base kick" was released on the Midtown label. It reached 10th place in the annual chart!. They made some Turn up the bass/Technotrance-megamixes for the ARCADE recordcompany. In France they had a big hit with "Never Gonna Loose Your Love". Allmost 10 weeks on number 1! In Holland this record only had 3 weeks in the Dutch Top 50.
And beyond
- In 1993, Eeg had a ducth top15 hit with "Usha - I Want you". After remixes for "London Beat" and "Twenty 4 Seven" Eeg also had hitrecords with the groups Camen and Wonderland. Eeg was also the manager for these groups. Around that time Eeg teamed up with Ed van Otterdijk. Together they started the girlygroup Close II You. They had international succes with this group. Then the started "All of Us",ane made a track for the dutch Eurovision songcontest called "Maybe Love". Now Eeg works with Jean Paul Vis, a club-D.J.
