Biography:
The 29-year-old Niels van Gogh from Augsburg/Germany has
been already spinning the turntables since 1994 at Clubs and
events like Nature One Festival, Rave on Snow, the Energy
Festival in Switzerland and the Love Parade in Berlin.
Furthermore he was Resident DJ at the Pleasure Dome Club in
Augsburg from 1997 til 2000.
From 2000 until 2004 he was Resident DJ at the legendary
Poison Club in Duesseldorf, where he rocked the floor every
Sunday morning.
With his special Electro House Sound he is fascinating
everyone all over Europe (e.g. Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands,
Spain, Poland, Hungary, Italy...) and the rest of the World
(e.g. Israel, Thailand, South Africa...). Niels van Gogh was
also Headliner at the South Africa Tour in August 1999 which
brought him to Sun City and Johannesburg. Niels played at
several big festivals at the Cape, where he is said to be a
popstar after releasing his smash hit "Pulverturm".
"Pulverturm" was the first release of the DJ and producer
Niels van Gogh on Kosmo Records. This absolutely smashing
Club track was produced together with "the electronic freak"
Eniac, who is also well-known for his Tom Novy productions.
"Pulverturm" follows his preference for pulsating sounds and
hypnotic pushing basslines, with an amazing vocal ("Oh no
no..."), that never leaves your ears... . This track was the
highest entry of the Top 100 German Media Control Charts and
had its highest position at 19. "Pulverturm" was the
best-selling Vinyl Single of the year 1998. It reached Gold
status in Belgium and reached the Top 20 of France,
Netherlands and South Africa. It also reached the UK Top 40
in England. Therefore Niels gladly received the mention "Discomaniac"
for over 20.000 sold Vinyls at the German Dance Award in the
year 2000.
In 2003 he closed a contract with Media Records. Shortly
after, the single "One Way Out" of his first album was
released. This track turned out to be an absolute Clubburner
in Spring 2004. In Fall 2004 Media Records released the
second single "Don't Be Afraid Of Tomorrow". This one was
even more ravishing and reached Top 3 of the German Dance
Charts (DDC). Gigs at MTV, VIVA, Sunshine Live an a big tour
were the consequence.
After intensive work, his first album "No Way Out" came into
the market, which not only sent his fans into rapture. The
meanwhile classic "Pulverturm" was also on the album and
built a link from the past to present.
In 2006, after a creative period and several releases and
remixes, the time was ripe to announce the second album
"Frequenzklang". A new Niels van Gogh was born: ripe, more
modern, more stylish, however unmistakably in his elementary
arrangements. Ingenious electro house productions, framed by
a perfect Intro and Outro, inspire your senses and spoil
your ears. Danceable tracks alternate with relaxing grooves,
surrounded by melodic and electronic sounds.
2007 was the year of reunification of Niels van Gogh and
Eniac. They started the new project "Niels van Gogh vs.
Eniac" and got signed to Kosmo Records. The first single was
a new version of their stunning Classic, now called
"Pulverturm 2.0". It exceeded all expectations and went
directly to Number 1 of the charts of DDC (German Dance
Charts) and the Swiss Dance Charts. Especially the Eric Smax
& Thomas Gold remix is rocking every Club at the moment. The
track also reached the Top 10 of the download charts of
Ministry of Sound and Beatport.com. Kosmo Records already
closed deals with record companies in France, Belgium,
Netherlands, South Africa, Czech Republic etc... .
Deutsch:
Jede Stadt hat ihre ganz speziellen Orte, wo ganz spezielle
Menschen irgendwann ganz besondere Dinge getan haben. Für
Augsburg war der Pleasure Dome ein solcher Ort und Niels van
Gogh gehört zu jenen, die diesem Ort Leben eingehaucht
haben. Im Pleasure Dome hat die House/Elektro - Begeisterung
der 90-er Jahre hier am Lech ihre wohl höchsten Wellen
geschlagen. Lange Zeit gab es schlicht und einfach kein
Wochenende, an dem der PD nicht proppenvoll gewesen wäre.
House/Elektro war Pleasure Dome und Pleasure Dome war
Resident DJ Niels van Gogh. Ihren Anfang genommen hat die
steile Karriere des Augsburgers im Jahr 1994, als er das
Gefühl kennen lernt, die Massen zum Toben zu bringen. Nature
One Festival, Rave on Snow dem Energy Festival in der
Schweiz oder die Love Parade in Berlin - Niels ist da, wo
House blüht. Und das ist zu jener Zeit fast überall in
Europa, in praktisch allen Ecken der Welt der Fall.
Zu spüren bekamen das seinerzeit einmal im Jahr - und zwar
heftig - die Berliner. Die Love Parade war der
House/Techno-Aufmarsch der Republik und Niels van Gogh war
mittendrin. 1998 lieferte der Augsburger gar die
inoffizielle Love-Parade-Hymne. Die hieß Pulverturm. Wenn
man jetzt weiß, dass ein Pulverturm nichts anderes ist als
ein spätmittelalterliches Lager für Schwarzpulver, dann weiß
man auch, woran man ist, wenn Niels van Gogh an die
Turntables tritt. icht umsonst blieb "Pulverturm" auch in
der Folgezeit in den Gehörgängen der Elektro-Freaks und
erreichte Platz 19 der Media-Control-Charts. Niels van Gogh
hatte die meistverkaufte Vinyl-Schallplatte des Jahres 1998
geschaffen und brachte über 20000 Stück in diesem Format
unter die Leute. Auch im Ausland war Niels van Gogh mit
seinem Hit erfolgreich. Er erreichte Platz 3 in Begien,
Platz 17 in Hollnad und Platz 24 in Frankreich und schaffte
es sogar in die britischen Top 40 Charts. Die Belgier ließen
es sich nicht nehmen, ihm eine Goldene Schallplatte zu
überreichen.
Somit war ihm auch der Discomaniac für über 20000 verkaufte
Vinyl-Platten sicher, den er sich im Jahr 2000 beim German
Dance Award gerne überreichen ließ. Zur gleichen Zeit
ereilte ihn der Ruf aus Düsseldorf. Niels van Gogh legte von
Stund an im legendären Poison Club auf - als Resident.
