Escuchalo Ya! Passengers of the night, out now on AFTERCLUV

A collaboration born at the ADE Spotify writing camp resulted in this brand new release on AFTERCLUV. Writers Will Knox, Stijn Versteeg and I then wrote a guitar song, no beats in mind, just a feeling. Later on Famba and Eche Palante worked on a pretty great production and AFTERCLUV / AFTERCLUB DANCELAB signed the track.

Passengers of the night is a song for people who feel better when they are lost in the night. It’s romantic, full of shadows, good and bad; but a preferred reality. It’s a shame when the day arrives, because the night has so much to give. A collection of fragments of feelings, wishes and thoughts that exist only in the night. Though, as it turns out, the love for this time a day, might be a symptom of actually running from something.

Add it to all of your playlists and dance into the night!

Mingue Live with some love from the Ableton team

Together with my two musicians Pablo Kleinsmann (violinist) and Danou Possel (Keys, Ableton) I started creating a brand new live set. A big thanks to Ableton who decided to support us in this process! The job gets easier with the love of friends, fam, awesome musicians and professional partners! Merci bien Ableton! x

Just signed with DOX Records and DOX Live

To new adventures! I’ve done a lot of great collaborations these past two years, and I will keep doing just that, but I also felt like it was time to pick up on creating a solo EP. Not entirely solo, coz it is co-written en co-produced by the great BRÅVO and together we created the fresh and playful Mingue sound! Dox Records will release the EP bit by bit and it will be available in it’s entirety this fall!! I’m very much looking forward to working with this great new partner!

Next to that Dox also invited me to be part of their live roster. Exciting news and hopefully with some extra exciting shows in the near future! xxx Mingue

A stripped version of Remedy by Zonderling ft. Mingue!

Zonderling, a name by now everyone must know from their crazy hit, Crazy! Zonderling collaborated with the already quite successful Lost Frequencies and the artists managed to combine their signature sounds. For Zonderling that is of course the magnificent synth sound!

You might remember the Zonderling ft. Mingue release called Remedy. With over a million Spotify streams we thought we’d collected enough fans of the song to drop a new version: the stripped version! We let the emotion of the lyrics speak and gave the song a new production. Piano and orchestra arrangements combined with beats, my own 2 cents and -we wouldn’t wanna release it without it- that lovely signature synth sound. Please add it to your playlists and LET IT IN! <3

Out now in Spinnin’ Records. With special thanks to co writer and producer Tony Verdult and pianist Alex van Popta.

Over 100 000 views on for the acoustic version of Riverbank! :)

Behind every track is a song! Riverbank I originally wrote with guitarist and songwriter Jochem Fluitsma. I love the version with deep house magician Bolier and thought the song deserved another version, so I called up my good friends Jonas and Pablo and we created a brand new acoustic one. Check it out HERE! Enjoy!

New Year Shows in Tallinn confirmed!

On december 31st Dj Edgar Wetzel and I are flying to Tallinn, Estonia, for two New Year Shows. We’ll play several sets at exclusive parties at Tuljak and NOA. Check out the venues for tickets! New Years is my favorite event of the year so I plan on giving it my all 🙂 xxx

From Electric to Organic: New acoustic version of Missing OUT NOW!

The beauty of music is that no matter what production is chosen, there is always a song in there. Missing, originally performed by Everything but the girl, is one of those songs that is inspiring to work on. EDX featured me on his deep house version and now, based on that (two years later), I produced an acoustic version. On Spotify we’re about to hit 10 milion plays, so I figured people, after hearing the song so many times, might be ready for the same song in a new coat. Please enjoy the lovely violin parts by my dear friend and fellow musician Pablo Kleinsmann. Also listen to, appreciate and enjoy the work of key player Jonas Wegewijs. They are always very great to work with!

The video was shot by my friend and photographer Marc Nolte. Be sure to check out his work! I hope you like the video plus song. Relax, listen, dance, feel, look back and look forward. As long as you feel the love!

New track! Must Be Tonight – Ollie Crowe ft. Mingue

A while back Ollie Crowe contacted me and wondered if I was willing to work on a track he just started working on. I listened to the track and got to know Ollie a little better and then gladly jumped on board. Ollie for sure is up and coming and ready to be an even bigger part of the dance industry. Next to his quality tracks (you have to hear the clubmix), he is a highly professional and disciplined entrepreneur, as we musicians should always aim to be! Check out our collaboration and add it to you Spotify Playlists fast!!
