When the entire world of music lies beneath your feet, what else would you do then to go out and explore it? Dutch talent Erik van den Boom is only 14 years old, but produces quality house music like he’s been at it for years. This young mastermind is currently studying Physics at the university of Delft, after graduating from the gymnasium at the age of 13. When near a studio however, it’s the beats that lure and the bass that gets him. Erik’s dreaming big and takes a leap on winning the Nobel prize as well as fixing himself a spot amongst the producer and DJ elite of today’s trance scene.
Under his Erik Arbores moniker, he is taking the first steps in dance land. ZOUK Recordings is proud to be releasing three of his creations, with ‘Bliss’, ‘Take It’ and ‘Transit’ reflecting a bright future for this promising talent. While ‘Take It’ mixes the fine elements of electro with the progressive-house kicks and blazing synths of an oldskool blast, ’Transit’ sends you on a musical journey of trancy house.
Both have a strong but proggy build-up, heading towards an outrage of something absolutely maddening. ‘Bliss’ is the more gentle, melodic track of the three-pack. A real peak-timer, taking you in with its fusion of trance and house. Bet you didn’t see that coming from a 14-year old, huh?
Dimitri Kechagias review: Definitely Holland is a country that offers great opportunities to his citizens and here we go with the proof. His just 14 years old and he has the opportunity to produce some tracks and get his first exposure. By listening to them it is clear that he is a fantastic talent and the future can only be bright for him. The productions are complex with thick beats of course with progressive house feel to them with distorted basslines and dirty beats but combined with uplifting melodies along with great synths that in the case of Bliss recalls trance classics like Three N One mix of Cafe del Mar but with an epic prog house take. Piano riffs and synthy stabs are present to deliver the big room effect. Take it and Transit are equally mindblowing and the type of tracks that easily any big room dj will adopt without second thought. I hope soon he will have ready some vocal productions as well. Lets wish Erik all the best for his future and when he will be a little bit older he can enter clubs and festivals to enjoy his tracks being played by the big stars as well.
