sied van riel

The Riel Deal: He is being tipped by Tiësto as “the hottest producer around” and by DJ Magazine as “the next big thing to hit trance”. He’s already DJed at Germany’s illustrious Love Parade and spun with Tiësto on his worldwide ‘ISOS5’ Tour. A few years ago he didn’t own a single piece of studio equipment… Now he’s odds-on favourite to become EDM’s next big breakout and the latest graduate to join trance music’s elite ‘Van Clan’. He is Sied van Riel...

The Riel Inspiration: Aged just 10 years old, Sied’s introduction to dance music came via Acid House. Unknowingly piped through the walls by his neighbours, he was instantly hooked on the anomalous sounds & beats he heard...

The Riel-eases: A long-term dance fan he was, but it wasn’t until early 2006 that Sied produced his first track, ‘Fearless’. Released on Sub Traxx, it was smashed by early advocate Tiësto and proved to be a vital first strike in his music career. Midway through the same summer his follow-up ‘My Dreams’ (released on Expedition this time) saw another superstar DJ take up the championing mantle. Paul van Dyk used the track on his ‘World’s No.1 Victory Mix’ CD, commenting that it had “one unique sound that made it rock!”

The search was on for a spiritual label home for Sied’s music, and it didn’t take too long to find it. Dutch super-label Spinnin’ Records signed him and 2007 quickly saw the dancefloor monsters ‘Changing Places’ and ‘Sigh’ emerge.

The Riel-Mixes: Re-imaginings of other producers tracks promptly followed; his reinterpretation of The Corydalics ‘Along Overmind’ being the first. From there, Sied’s been lending the Riel touch to tracks from Europe finest trance labels, Armada, Blackhole, Spinnin’ & Adjusted among them...

The Rielalistic Sessions Radio Show: Following numerous radio appearances (inc. Ministry of Sound – UK, Sunshine Live Maximal, Germany & Radio 538 in The Netherlands), Sied launched his own radio show, Rielalistic Sessions. Transmitted every 4th Monday of the month on www.ah.fm, with re-runs on various internet and FM stations worldwide, it has immediately drawn a loyal listener-ship.

The Riel Musical Philosophy: Sied describes his brand of music as “deep, driving, warm, melodic-fuelled trance” with each track or remix “directly related to my personality, experiences and state of mind”.
The Riel Pronunciation: That’s ‘Seed’ van ‘Real’ trance-spotters and accuracy fans!
