Ruben De Ronde is a Dutch trance DJ and producer from Gouda, Netherlands. His work sits between trance, house and progressive styles, and he is also associated with electronic and electronica music.

Career

De Ronde starts releasing music on his own label, Statement, in 2005 and also works extensively with Armada Music. His productions include tracks such as “Forever In Our Hearts”, “Timide” and “They Are Not You”, which show the range of his style from more melodic trance to deeper progressive material.

In 2008, his first solo production, “Republique”, reaches the Top 20 of the Beatport chart and receives attention from DJ Mag. He later releases “Noir”, “Forever In Our Hearts” and “Superlative”, the latter as a collaboration with Robert Nickson on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance label.

He builds a reputation through remixes for Cosmic Gate, Way Out West, Push, Aly & Fila, W&W and Sean Tyas, among others. His productions receive support from Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk, Tiësto, Cosmic Gate, Markus Schulz, Judge Jules, Fedde Le Grand and Roger Sanchez.

Broadcasting

De Ronde also presents the radio show The Sound of Holland. The programme includes a listener vote under the “Blog Burner” tag and broadcasts twice a month on Afterhours.fm and once a month on Sirius XM.

Style

His music is described as crossing the boundary between trance, house and progressive, with a catalogue that moves between uplifting, deeper and more driving sounds.
