Joost van der Vleuten came to life in the year 1978 in Geldrop (near Eindhoven Netherlands). At the age of 13 he started to develop a more than average interest in Music. He realised a job at a local radio station. At that time his big dream was to become a real radio jock. Inspired by this radio business he bought himself a mixer, so he could practise being a DJ.
At The age of 17 Joost joined the Royal Dutch Army. With his first salary he bought some equipment and changed his goals and aimed to make some music himself. He bought a computer and started experimenting. As he was trying and trying to make his first track he found out it wasn't as easy as it seemed.
Inspired by Sander Verhaar, he decided that Remixing Top 40 songs was more fun. But after a few remixes a miracle happened; his first production was born. This track, Golana featured at a compilation of Clubcharts.nl
After this first success his motivation to produce and finish some more "own" releases grew bigger and bigger.
A demo CD was passed on to Roland K (former partner Gesture Music). Roland played it out in his radio show and Misja Helsloot co-owner of Gesture Music got interested too.
Now at the age of 26 Joost has made several productions.
His production Latigidi - Latigidi has already been played by Misja Helsloot, Markus Schulz, Andy Bagguley, Solid Slide, Jon°Bir, Darren Tate, Eelke Kleijn and more...... And is released the 28th of October 2004 at the Belgium label Banshee Worx.
This track also featured on the Misja Helsloot Album titled "Back From your Past".
So keep your eyes open for this producer, because 2005 might be a big year for him. His aka's are Latigidi,Seven Senses and DJ Platypus.
