Signum- Netherlands
(A State Of Trance / ID&T / Ministry Of Sound)


http://www.signum-djs.com


Signum is the combination of two talented producers in the Europian music industry.They are Pascal Minnaard, ( age 27) and Ronald Hagen (also age 27). As neighbours they live in Zoetermeer, a little city nearby The Hague,there homebase in The Netherlands.


Pascal & Ron first met eachother in highschool.This was the place were they found out that they had the same interest in making music, and started to do some work together.Although they lost contact, they both continued making there music.


During that time, Pascal got a record contract at the Dutch label/agency BPM_Dance.Here he made his first track, under his own name on the label 4-Play (Inside a Rainbow).For his second release, he started working under the name Signum.On BPM's biggest label JINX he released:


"Flow of Knowledge"
"The other side"
"Adapter"


At this time Pascal met up with Ron again. Ron also signed up with BPM_Dance and they started producing together again. Not knowing that this turned out to be a huge succes.Because when they released their first track together, in 1997 on the JINX label,called "What you got for me", the record became a huge club anthem. And with it's re-release in 2001 (on TidyTrax) it even got in the UK Top40 !


In de mean time they did a remix for "Travel" called "Bulgarian",which also did well in the clubcharts and was well received by a lot of Dj's.
Under there own names, Ron Hagen & Pascal M. they did some other releases.
Such as:


"Forever"
"Take u there"


Britisch producer/DJ Scott Mac was interrested in working with Signum.So they teamed up and out of that collaboration came "Coming On Strong" which also became a huge clubhit.This established their name as Trance producers.


After that they were frequently asked for a lot of remixes, such as:


Lost Tribe- " Game Master"(Hooj Choons )
Blank & Jones - "After Love"
ATB - " 9pm (Till i come)" (Ministery of Sound)
KayCee - " Escape " (Additive)
Straydog (Dj Tiesto) - " Mirror " (Black Hole)
Alice Deejay & DJ Jurgen - "Better of Alone" (Violent Records)
Yves the Ruyter - "To the Rythem" (Bonzai)
Spacebrothers - " Shine " (Manifesto)


And many more............


After finishing all these remixes they started focussing on there own productions.They came back with "Solar Level " and after that even stronger with "First Strike",which received support from many leading DJ's/producers including,Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten , Dj Tiesto , 00'Flemming and many more!
This hit was soon followed by some more,"Cura Me", "Second Wave" & "Third Dimension" , which where all released on Jinx.
(also frequently played in sets of the worlds leading Trance Dj's!! ).And their remix for "Oceanlab" called "Beautyfull Together" ,already showing signs of being another massive track ,will soon be released on "Captivating Records".
They also produce under the alias "D-Factor" (The Wrong Shake) .These productions are more techno based .


Pascal & Ron a.k.a Signum have also been busy with their DJ carreer.They played at some of the worlds most famous clubs in the world, in Japan, Ibiza, UK , Ireland , Canada, Swiss, Germany and Mallorca and Malaysia.
In July 2001 they made their U.K. debut with a three hour set at Gatecrasher.Since this impressive debut they've played in U.K.'s best clubs,such as, "Godskitchen", "Slinky" and "Gatecrasher" ofcourse not forgetting the great festivals, "Global Gathering", "Homelands", & "Summer Sound System".


Signum's sound of euphoric Trance have won many admirers up & down the U.K..
We can say that Signum is becoming one of the most favourite DJ's of the Trance crowd.With loads of plans for the future ; a brand new website ,new massive productions & extended Dj-sets , you'll be seeing a lot of them and so their rise to the top is just beginning !!!!!!
