Dj Cor Fijneman
The year is 1993 when
Cor Fijneman
first puts 'the needle on
the record'.
Searching for a style that was melodic, Cor
found this in trance music
and that is the style he still plays today. In these
years he got in contact with Arny
Bink and Tijs
Verwest. Tijs
Verwest (also known as Tiësto)
asked Cor to play
some melodies for his new tunes and this collaboration
resulted in trance classics
such as Theme from Norefjell,
Earth and Sparkles
which were released worldwide.
At that time Cor was
also asked to become resident at club
Spock in his hometown Breda. In
club Spock he played every Saturday
night for 4 years
and developed his style he still plays today: raw
uplifting trance.
In the summer of 2000
Black Hole Recordings
offered Cor Fijneman the
opportunity to mix the 5th part of the In
Trance We Trust series. This cd was sold
all around the globe and resulted in some great gigs
in Holland and in countries like Norway,
Panama, Columbia and Greece. The
number of gigs went even bigger after the release
of In Trance We Trust 6
and Maxim Editions V1.0.
Around this time Cor
not only produced tracks with Tiësto
but released some major tunes with Threesome
(Mohave/Gobi), Dj
Montana (Groove Lounge Method) and
Impact (Behind
The Mirror) .
Winter 2002 saw
the release of his new album, Outstanding,
a superb party mix of the hottest
trance and harddance
tunes around, complemented with a tour where
Cor created mayhem
across dance floors around the country. Spring
2003 Cor Fijneman
released his new single, Venus
(Meant To Be Your Lover), a collaboration
with acclaimed singer and trance diva Jan
Johnston. With this hitsingle Cor
Fijneman has entered charts around the
globe and received support from dj's like
Paul Oakenfold, Judge
Jules and above all Tiësto.
Most of all, this single was the theme of the illustrious
Tiësto In Concert event, May
10th 2003. This resulted in many requests
for remixes for acts like Jurgen
Vries, Lasgo,
Andain and Three
Drives. These remixes proved to have the
right sound and were supported by many dj's like Judge
Jules, Ferry Corsten,
Marco V, Johan
Gielen, Paul Oakenfold
and Paul Van Dyk.
At the end of 2003
Cor Fijneman entered
the Dj Mag Top 100 list at a respectable 94th
place.
This list has been a definite goal for dj's all around
and has set standards because of the huge influence
by the audience who visit the clubs and festivals
in dance music and make this top 100 by sending
in their 5 most appreciated dj's. 2004
has seen the release of Cor's
Healing, featuring Anita
Kelsey, a well respected soul and jazz
vocalist known from the hitsingle Shed
My Skin by D*Note. Anita
Kelsey is one of the major voices in UK
jazz and soul and she also performed with acts like
Spice Girls, Jean
Carne and Bill
Wyman.
The latest single, Don't
Break My Heart which features ex-2Unlimited
singer Romy has
become the official theme for the TMF
Awards in Belgium.
Cor has done an
exclusive one hour show at the same Awards which
were live broadcasted in Holland and Belgium.
Cor has played
in clubs all over the world these last years, just
a few examples are Cream
Amnesia Ibiza,
Club Glow Washington DC, Godskitchen
Birmingham, The
Gallery London, Matrixx
Nijmegen and Illusion
Lier. Besides these venues Cor
played not only at all the major festivals
in Holland like Trance
Energy, DanceValley,
Impulz, Lovefields
and Innercity but
also at festivals outside Holland like
WEMF Canada,
Lloret de Mar Outdoor Dance
Festival Spain, Illusion
16 Years Belgium, Cream
Digital Love United Kingdom, Club
Space WMC Miami, Loveparade
Germany.
