Roy Gates

With over 5 successful single releases this DJ is one of the biggest, rising stars in the music industry. Straight from the start of his career, Roy Gates' debut single How Deep was hailed a Dancesmash on Radio 538 (Holland’s biggest radio station). The track instantly went for the higher regions of the single charts and got put on several playlists of many radio and TV stations worldwide.

With the follow up On My Way as its successor it rapidly became obvious that his career was going through the roof. At that time all of his singles got supported by top DJs like Armin van Buuren, Tiesto and Randy Katana and got playlisted on TMF and Slam!FM for weeks.

Towards the end of 2006 Roy released his mega hit Midnight Sun. Including a few great remixes and an outstanding video, this track offered the whole package and delivered! Midnight Sun was procliamed Dancesmash on Radio 538, Grandslam on Slam!FM, is playlisted on every radio station in the Netherlands and reached up to the higher regions in the Top 100 and Top 40. The music video was put on high rotation at TMF. Almost a year after this release, the track is still played regularly, maybe even daily on Radio538.
Then his musical success starts bringing him the success in what he truly loves, DJ-ing. His performance at Trance Energy is one of the highlights of his career so far. But it’s the Radio538 stage during Queensday in Amsterdam that made him a little nervous, 250.000 people gathered to what is the biggest event in Holland. Roy played an outstanding set with all people dancing and singing along on his biggest hits.

Early 2008 Roy meets the vocalist Karen Ires who already worked with ATB. After sharing eachothers music and thoughts they start working together. This collaboration works like an outstanding succes formula, now releasing roy’s new single with the beautiful voice of Karen Ires, The world is spinning. The single/download contains 6 remixes and the release is April 18th 2008! The fact that the track already is Slam!FM playlisted points in a direction that it will be a real chart breaker.
