Ronald van Gelderen is a standout DJ/ producer in every respect. Ronald produces for the High Contrast label of Be Yourself Music in Holland, where he released massive singles and remixes such as 'Realize', 'This Way', 'Dirty Rocker', 'Embrace Me' and  'Rush'. Next to that he also runs his own record label RAW Sessions, where he released productions such as ‘Backstabberzz’, ‘ Liam Rocks’, ‘Devil With A Cause’, ‘Vinking Park’ and the big hit ‘In Control’. His new release ‘Semper Fi’ will be released at the end of august at the High Contrast label. Also the already much talked about smashing remix of Skunk Anansie’s new hit ‘My Ugly Boy’ will be released in the same week! Add this in-demand sound to RvG's distinctive Rock and Raw image, commanding stage presence and crowd hyping DJ sets causing urban disruption and mayhem in every country in the world: the Ronald van Gelderen package is complete…

As a DJ, Ronald van Gelderen leaves his trade mark on global club land, attending big European festivals like Trance Energy, Mystery Land, Dance Valley, Free Festival, Pleasure Island, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System, Top Fest, Dancetination, Sunrise Festival and touring as far as China, Australia, USA and Canada in recent months. Leading promoters are also fast taking to the RvG-sound and style; with bookings at the biggest clubs around the globe his DJ diary is fully booked every weekend.

As a producer, Ronald van Gelderen is very much cutting out his own sound in the global market place. His style is trance, electro, tech and rock all rolled into one phat soundtrack. But best of all is that as well as tweaking the studio controls, RvG also writes and performs all the vocals himself!

Since '97 RvG first left his mark as a producer under the famous Kid Vicious alter ego. He released the massive club hits 'Re-Form', 'Pants Down Spanking' and 'Contagious' and went onto co-produce with Tiësto, penning 'Urban Train' and 'Suburban Train' before finally getting behind his own name, releasing the big hits ‘Proceed’ and 'Sustain' on Tsunami, 'Cold Storage' on the ID-T imprint and remixing 'Carte Blanche' on Positiva and Dogzilla 'Without You' on Nebula to huge critical acclaim in recent years. Ronald appeared to have found his groove at the High Contrast label of Be Yourself Music and where he just scored several big hits in a row; 'F!lth', 'This Way', 'Realize', ‘Embrace Me’, ‘Rush’ and 'Dirty Rocker'.

However, the beginning of 2009 made RvG realize that next to producing for the High Contrast label, it was time for another step in his career. Creating a platform to express himself more in a way that would give him that liberating feeling . A  platform that would give a solid ground for himself and fellow artists in the shape of his own record label. Raw-Sessions Recordings was born. With the first releases ‘Backstabberzz’, ‘Vinkenpark’, ‘Frantic’/’Burnout’, ‘Liam Rocks’, ‘Devil With A Cause’ and ‘In Control’; the label proved to be a successful player next to the other labels in the dance industry.

Ever though his own label has proved to be very successful, the High Contrast label still proves to be the Dirty Rocker’ solid home base. After releasing a bunch of tracks on RAW Sessions, van Gelderen strikes back witch a pounding club stomper: ‘Semper Fi’!  This smashing release contains remixes of John O’Callaghan and Artento Divini. Release date: August 23rd 2010.

To ensure 2010 was going to turn out as Ronald van Gelderen’s year, the  famous Rock band Skunk Anansie requested him to provide their new debut single ‘My Ugly Boy’ - from the comeback album ‘ Wonderlustre’ - with a outstanding remix. Van Gelderen was contacted by the record company of Skunk Anansie to provide the new single with that typical ”van Gelderen sound”… Known for his rough-around-the-edges energetic uplifting euphoric sound, and his extravagant reputation as the ‘bad boy’ in the dance industry, and always bringing urban disruption with his smashing productions, blended in perfectly in what the band Skunk Anansie stands for. A pounding combination of rolling beats, sweat soaked synthlines and the always brilliant vocals by Skin, followed by the drums and guitars of the band itself, were the perfect ingredients for a successful remix. After personal approval of the band the release of the remix is scheduled for the end of August.

Ronald proves once again that he is still part of the big league and that the success of his career is still going, and growing strong.
