HOMETOWN: Breda, Netherlands
BIO: Fedde le Grand was born in Utrecht, The Netherlands on 7 September 1977. As a teenager he became a disc jockey.
Le Grand is also one of the innovators of the concept Sneakerz (2004). He created a formula; different venues with three areas throughout the Netherlands, all with their own sound, and a chance given to upcoming talent performing together with famous DJs. Sneakerz started off at ‘De Rechter’ in Eindhoven and it has grown into one of the most popular clubbing nights all over the Netherlands (‘Panama’ Amsterdam, ‘T Paard van Troje’ The Hague, Sneakerz@the Beach in Scheveningen and Bloomingdale).
Besides DJing and organising club nights, Fedde le Grand has been producing since 2001. In 2004 he teamed up with Funkerman and Raf. They started Flamingo Recordings, an independent record label that releases their tracks without any compromises. This label has allowed them to keep their underground identity and release fresh tracks sooner than most other labels. They have established themselves in the international label scene with releases licensed to partners such as Defected, Ministry of Sound and CR2 Records.
With the release of ‘Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit’ Fedde le Grand became known to the world. Eminem’s Detroit based hip-hop crew D12 created a vocal version over ‘Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit’ released early 2007. Fedde created remixes for Sharam, Andrea Corr, Freeform Five, Roog & Greg, Kurd Maverick, Tall Paul, Pete Tong, Camille Jones, wolfnest Ida Corr, Anita Kelsey, Mr. V and Robbie Williams. Fedde made three compilation albums; The Ministry of Sound album ‘Sessions’ released in the beginning of 2007 and Top of the Clubs volume 33, released on Kontor Records in 2006. His first compilation album ‘Sneakerz’ was mixed and compiled together with Gregor Salto in May 2006.
