Ruud van Reijen

Ruud van Rijen (born 1964 in Belgium) is a producer and mixer most famous for starting and producing the Eurodance act Twenty 4 Seven.

He first was a carpenter, but soon, after hearing a megamix done by Ben Liebrand, he realised his greatest love was music. He started with producing megamixes at home and got them to play in local clubs.

His first single was called Rock This World, which he released under the alias "Drivin' Force" and got into the top-10 of the National Dance-charts.

After this he founded the Eurodance act Twenty 4 Seven which was a first in its kind by combining dance music with a female singer and a rapper. He accomplished world-wide fame through this.

He also started his own publishing company called RVR Publishing with which he published several dance-acts like:

* Twenty 4 Seven
* Jayke
* MC Fixx-It

He always stayed with his love for remixing, which he still does. He did remixes for artists like 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor, Groove Armada, MC Fixx-It and more recently the infamous 'Anton Aus Tirol' mix from De Zware Jongens.
