As we all know by now Cor Fijneman’s, the 29 year old from Holland, career started in a tiny little club called Spock in his hometown Breda. He played there every Saturday night for 4 years and this was the base for the typical “Outstanding†style he still plays today: a mix of raw trance, house, techno and upfront electronic dance music. Nowadays he plays all over the the world but there’s one thing that never changed: He is still full of energy behind the decks and enjoys it as much as the audience does. By now Cor has played in clubs all over the world these last years, just a few examples are Cream Amnesia Ibiza, Club Glow Washington DC, Godskitchen Birmingham, The Gallery London, The Matrixx Nijmegen and Illusion Lier. Besides these venues Cor played not only at all the major festivals in Holland like Trance Energy, DanceValley, Mysteryland, Impulz, Lovefields and Innercity but also at festivals outside Holland like WEMF Canada, Lloret Outdoor Spain, Illusion 16 Years Belgium, Cream Digital Love United Kingdom, Club Space WMC Miami, Loveparade Germany.
But also on the production side Cor is one to watch. The single that turned all the attention to Cor was his single, Venus (Meant To Be Your Lover), a collaboration with acclaimed singer and trance diva Jan Johnston. With this hitsingle Cor Fijneman has entered charts around the globe and received support from dj’s like Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules and above all Tiësto. Most of all, this single was the theme of the illustrious and first Tiësto In Concert event, May 10th 2003. This resulted in many requests for remixes for acts like Jurgen Vries, Lasgo, Andain and Three Drives. These remixes proved to have the right sound and were supported by many dj’s like Judge Jules, Ferry Corsten, Marco V, Johan Gielen, Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk.
2004 has seen the release of Cor’s Healing, featuring Anita Kelsey. And after that Cor released the single, Don’t Break My Heart which featured ex-2Unlimited singer Romy. This track was the official theme for the TMF Awards in Belgium. Cor has done an exclusive one hour show at the same Awards Show which was live broadcasted in Holland and Belgium.
Late 2004 Cor Fijneman started his own label at Black Hole Recordings; Outstanding. Outstanding is a label for Cor’s own more darker and techno influenced productions, the first 12†Hot Wired/Fuzzball was released under Cor’s alias Silence The Sneak and was supported by dj’s like Judge Jules (featured on his mix compilation), Marco V, Johan Gielen and Tiësto. The second release; San Andreas/San Pedro, a co-production with Jochen Miller was a huge follow-up and extremely successful. San Andreas/San Pedro was played by almost every DJ and is still being played at this moment. More releases followed and all in that typical Cor Fijneman Sound. Cor also hosts a radio show by the same name and is broadcasted already at more than 10 radio stations around the world. Also he is doing sets for several other radio stations around the world regularly.
Spring 2005 saw the release of Cor Fijneman’s first official artist album; Monologue. It’s the result of over ten years of hard work and is released on Cor’s own label within Black Hole Recordings, Outstanding. This album was very well received and proved that Cor could produce in a highly diverse way.
End of 2005 received a nomination for best foreign dj for the Belgian TMF Awards, Cor Fijneman was nominated with Armand van Helden, Roger Sanchez and Tiësto.
In 2006 Cor travelled the world together with fellow DJ Mark Norman for 80 days. They flew all around the world in this highly acclaimed tour that was named as one of the most unique concepts of 2006 by Holland's most leading magazines. He also played together with Shaggy in Sardinia. 2007 will see a lot of new productions on the Outstanding label and at the end of the year Cor is planning his new artist album.
His new release, called The Snake will be released @ Black Hole Recordings Download Only. This track shows once again that Cor's producing skills are very versatile. It's a big Tech House monster that will blow you away.
Now in 2007 Cor’s dairy is full again so watch out for him because when Cor starts playing your feet will not stop till the last beat drops.
