Ghetto Heaven ft DJ Irwan @ Zouk Mainroom

He stole the show when he sang ‘So Sick’ by NEYO at Ghetto Heven’s 2nd Anniversary Party and he’s back to do it once again! DJ Irwan, one of Holland’s “urban-eclectic” sound founders and MOBO Award nominee, is one of the only known few DJ’s (if not the only one) who adds some lyrical flavors to his set, which creates a unique vibe: spinning, scratching and singing, while bringing the crowd to higher levels. As a result of his vocal skillz, Irwan’s first single will be officially released in the near future: a remake of Usher’s “You Make Me Wanna”. The single is also featured on the official MTV Pimp My Ride mix-cd mixed by DJ Irwan, which was released in February 2005.

Brought to you by Recharge

Currently #16 in the International DJMAG’s TOP 100, Marco V is a definitive DJ and producer who has worked hard to create a sound easily recognizable by its constant drive and uplifting melodies. His first album ''Con:Fusion'' became Holland’s biggest selling dance album of 2002 and was awarded Best Dance Artist Album at the BBM dance awards that year and reached DJMag''s mixed compilation top10 of 2004.

His single "More Than A Life Away" was released under his own label In Charge in May 2005, topped dance charts across Europe and was recently heralded by Paul Van Dyk on Radio One as his hot tune for the Summer of 2005. Later that year he released his much anticipated artist album “200V”. This is the perfect example of a powerful V-styled track, filled with that distinct techy use of synths and a constantly pumping percussion. '200V', with tracks like False Light, Calling The Shots, Red Blue Purple and A Great Escape, does things a little different by combining and blending several styles to show Marco's ever developing productional capabilities..
