On Saturday 21st of January 2017, the Heineken Music Hall’s most legendary bash circulates around one man and his musical legacy: Ran-D. After putting in countless hours to build a magnificent discography and giving every performance his utmost energy and dedication, Ran-D’s ultimate accomplishment is now on the horizon, as he states “having my own X-Qlusive is a dream come true.”
Hailing from a small village called Zeeland (Noord Brabant), The Netherlands, Ran-D is regarded as one of the leading names in the Hardstyle scene. Beginning his career back in 2002, he worked industriously for years to craft a unique, innovative sound. After releasing his debut track “D-Pression” back in 2009, he soon had his hands on a goldmine, when he released evergreen hit “Living For The Moment.”
With this ground-breaking hit signifying the beginning of an endless stream of stellar productions, Ran-D continued on to release outstanding floor-illers such as “#MyWay,” “FCK EDM” and “Firestarter.”
In addition to his solo successes, together with long-time comrade Adaro, the pair conceived the notorious live-act Gunz For Hire in 2011. After their unveiling performance at Decibel Outdoor Festival that year, the pair was instantly deemed a fighting force. Suited up with their characteristic masks, Gunz For Hire had a firm grip of the Hardstyle scene.
With Ran-D as a solo artist and a part of Gunz For Hire, Wieland has showcased his musical legacy at colossal events around the globe. However, a solo show was still missing on his agenda, but all of that is about to change on the 21st of January, 2017.
Stating that he feels “honoured to have been awarded his own X-Qlusive,” Ran-D has always fantasised about his career becoming this successful. And of course, this night will be incredibly special; encompassing recognition for all eras of his career, Ran-D will treat visitors to an exclusive classic set, as well as a selection of his newer and unreleased tunes.
Mr. Firestarter is set to ignite the Heineken Music Hall (AFAS live)!
