Maarten Hercules

about

Born in 1987, Maarten Hercules grew up listening to a variety of genres across the musical spectrum ranging anywhere from 90s pop music to Jazz. However, he discovered a true passion for trance music and started to produce in 2002 and shortly thereafter acquired a Yamaha Motif synthesizer. Influenced by artists such as Way Out West, Markus Schulz, and Art Of Trance, and by working hard from his studio based in Elst, Holland, Maarten has been receiving DJ support since 2004, and was first signed in late 2005 to Enhanced Progressive at the mere age of 18. He soon saw tremendous success in early 2007 with the release of 'There's Always Music' on the Signalrunners label Fraction Records receiving support from Judge Jules and being bombarded on the airwaves of BBC's Radio1. Being featured in the playlists of MysteryLand in 2007 can only attest that Maarten can be consistent and maintain his quality of production. His other releases such as Body Fusion (late 2007 on Fraction Records) were also well received by DJ's around the world. A real amicable down-to-earth character, Maarten shows that he is truly passionate about his music which is clearly exemplified in his productions. He is currently working on a variety of remixes and further singles on Fraction Recordings which are sure to make a dent in the trance community worldwide. Maarten hopes to continue producing well into the future but he realises that this is only the beginning, his start to a journey which has been nothing
