He started his DJ career about 17 years
ago playing in famous Belgian clubs such as: Globe, Barocci
& Cherrymoon. For the past 2 years he was back playing
in his old club Cherrymoon, but he's changed residency to
the famous club La Rocca in Lier and he's also a monthly resident
on Fridays in Fuse (for Mad Club). For more info, check the
booking-section for current dates.
As so many DJ's he also started an artist career. Since then
he is signed to Bonzai Records. His first single Animals became
a big club hit in Belgium. At this stage people started watching
artists like Yves Deruyter for playing on big raves such as
May Day, Energy, Nature One, Trance Energy, Mysteryland, Gatecrasher,
I love Techno,...
With his second single he made a big jump into the German
market.
Rave City became a big succes with more than 50.000 sold
units. The follow up Calling Earth was again a succes with
70.000 sold singles. All this was the start of a succesfull
story.
A Story About House was to be the next Cherrymoon Trax single,
but due to problems with the club it was changed into a new
Yves Deruyter single. Unfortunately this single didn't really
break anything.
Nevertheless his follow up single "The Rebel" was
immediatly signed for the world. "The Rebel" was
a top tune and the real international breakthrough for Yves
Deruyter. This single was also the announcement for this first
album "D-Album" containing all the singles from
past and future.
During this period he started also the musical outlet of
the Cherrymoon where he was playing. So far he made 4 Cherrymoon
Trax singles of which the last single "In My Electric
House" was again succesfull in Germany. All this in combination
with the first 3D black and white video made by Frank Dewulf
who became an important artist with his B-Sides releases.
Yves Deruyter's vision of his future in music is and will
always be the same: making music for the people. For him it
is important that the people have fun while they're listening/dancing
to his music. In the past he used to work with Frederico Santini,
but now his counterpart is Dirk "M.I.K.E." Dierickx
(Push, The Blackmaster, M.I.KE., Moon Project, ...) who is
currently one of the most important producers from Bonzai
Records.
The single "Rhythmic Bazz was released in June 2001.
This single was taken of the album "2001" as well
as "Back to Earth". His latest track "Music
Non-Stop" again did very well, as well as the remixes
that were released shortly after. The follow up for this single
is expected for the summer of 2002.
