Rank 1 group withPiet Bervoets andKamaya Painters withTiësto .History
Early Years (1996-1998)
Benno De Goeij began working as a producer in 1997 along
Piet Bervoets whom he met at a party. [ [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Rank+1 Meeting] ] Jonathan Joosten also known as The Happy Groover released a single "When I Snap My Fingers..." under TF Productions which included two remixes from both Benno and Piet. They decided to create music of their own and created the duo Pedro & Benno with singles "Scream For Love", "Talkin' To You", and "Speechless" released under Karma Records. [ [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Pedro+%26+Benno Pedro & Benno] ] They also created track under the aliases Precious People, Gualagara, A.I.D.A., Simplistic Mind, Two Disciples, R.O.O.S., and Southsquare which remixed "Blackspin" in 1996, a track for Passenger which is one of the many aliases fromTijs Verwest . "Schapie, Schapie, Schapie - Hassan Jassan" was a single by The Scary Groover in 1998 which is another alias from Joosten, this time Goeij and Bervoets worked on a track rather than creating a remix.Rank 1 Project (1998-2003)
In 1998,
Rank 1 was born as they thought it would be a perfect joke to see Rank 1 at a number 1 position. This joke became real when "Airwave"' hit numerous charts at that position. They also remixedCygnus X 's "Superstring" song and released an anthem forSensation in 2001 known as "Such Is Life" from the album Symsonic. In 2003 they re-released "Breathing" which was another charting track since it was a morebreak beat version of "Airwave". [ [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Rank+1 Rank 1] ] The Rank 1 Project is still working under a new studio album, since both deejays take tours around the world every year. In 1998Tiësto and Goeij createdKamaya Painters , with three successful singles.Becoming a Producer (2004-present)
In 2007, their first work with
Armin van Buuren was created, it featured Kush and was entitled "This World Is Watching Me"; The song was written by Armin Van Buuren, Benno De Goeij, Pete Kirtley, Sacha Collisson, and Zoe Durrant. [ [http://www.discogs.com/release/924448 This Worls is Watching Me] ] As of then Goeij began helping Armin on his next album. In early 2008 Rank 1 worked with Jochen Miller's song "And Then..." which was written, composed, and arranged by Goeij. [ [http://www.discogs.com/release/1228854 And Then...] ] In 2008,Armin van Buuren released his third studio album known as Imagine which included Goeij's writing and production abilities in all songs except for "Imagine", "Fine Without You", and "Intricacy".
