He was mobilized to do so by the decision of EastWest Records, which refused to release the single "Meet Her at the Love Parade". This is also the moment when he said goodbye to the pseudonym DJ Hooligan.  Since then, he has signed his publications with the nickname Da Hool. He has released some really great releases under this alias. One of them is the track "Eichelrรผck", which was on vinyl on his B-Sides label. It was 1999 and we get two versions on black: Euro Off Beat Mix and Thunder Club-Mix. In another release, you can find the Deep Mix version, which also has its quite interesting ...

The video centers on an Asian woman (Inge´s Wife is the model)  who moves fluidly between worlds—her path stretching from the neon-lit streets of Asia to the historic, atmospheric landscapes of Europe. As the music unfolds, her surroundings begin to shift unnaturally. One moment she walks through a bustling city glowing with signs and motion, the next she steps seamlessly into quiet European alleys, vast countrysides, and timeless architecture. Each transition feels like slipping between dimensions rather than traveling physically—reality fragmenting and reassembling around her....

It contains seven tracks spanning several electronic genres. You'll find cinematic music, downtempo, a bit of break, and even trance. "After All" is a perfect soundtrack for a film that will conquer audiences worldwide. This melody guarantees you'll want to return to it. "Panacea" is a peaceful atmosphere of sound.

Of course, I am talking about the production of "Tundra" by Intuition Recordings. Thanks to his melodic and trance notes, Menno managed to win the favor of the world's leading DJs and it was in their sets that he was promoted to the rising star of this period.  What's interesting about big publishing houses is the fact that the original version was not on the vinyl. This is a huge surprise. Why is this the case? To this day, I cannot find the answer to that. This is one of the best releases from the legendary Dutch...

He created his first digital music using music tracking software and produced various tracks for the demo scene. Under the aforementioned project, in 2006 he releases a great track "Cobra" on the legendary In Trance We Trust label. This production was created in cooperation with Sander van der Wall.  This is one of the most intense and emotional melodies ever produced.

"Emotional Overload" was released on vinyl on the Dedicated label. You can find the original version and the Octagen mix here.  This track is pure Classic Trance at its finest.

It's one of the most euphoric trance productions ever and is so mysteriously interesting from start to finish. While the original is a great track, the version that caught the most attention was Matt Darey's Tekar mix. He infused it with breakbeats while still having that magical trance vibe, which is why it's still played to this day.  Mike recalls: "It was in 1998, around the time the first trance wave hit the UK. I remember watching MTV one night when I saw the original video for Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" and it occurred to me that the main melody would make a great trance tune. The next day I went to the studio ...
