When I used to work at BPM DANCE in Zoetermeer (2003) they had their studio there. Ron is a very down to earth and nice guy! Great, awesome tracks and yes... I have them on vinyl obviously 🤣😂
Nice interview. Ron is a cool guy. I had a chance to meet him once in Fresno, California. He played an absolute fire of a set that time. Signum = quality Trance music. He rocks.
When he mentions the inspiration from Chicane and Energy 52, I immediately got goosebumps. Just two of my favorite producers growing up. Interesting how you get "What ya got 4 me" with offshore considering how chill it is.
I have always considered Ron a REAL artist and musician, the details and the art that are perceived in his records are goodies that many producers cannot even imagine in their best fantasies.
Ron you are my favourite guy from the old era of trance AND the the highest rated producer in my books ever. Cant wait for the downtempo stuff as Cinalematical is a masterpiece for me.
I love how those guys heard something as chilled as Offshore by Chicane and thought 'lets make something like that' and then produced one of the most iconic Hard House tunes of the time!
Awesome interview again twan :) Nice to see and hear from the guys that made these classic tracks. Looking forward as usual to your future interviews! :)
Ron Is da don! Check his enthusiasm. He's really so Dutch. This track was a massive trade classic in the UK, the last time I heard it out was at a little gay pride a couple of years ago.
Saw Signum at the Telewest arena in Newcastle for the Godskitchen Carnival in March 2002. These were first on in the main arena - absolutely banging start to one of the best nights I've ever had.
Good stuff as usual :) can’t fault signum, absolute classics, coming on strong, 9pm till I come and travel-Bulgarian remixes and many others are still played to death on my turntables :)
What a great Chanel :) I loved this song from the moment I heard it at gods kitchen in the U.K. The video was amazing would come on mtv randomly in the morning hahah Great memories
@@magdelayna googled that also and came to the same conclusion as yours, not that this is a super make-or-break background info point, but right is right and kudos to the original maker should always be attributed!
I would have love to have heard about the "Better off alone" remix they did. I'm biased, as for me personally, it's probably my favourite from the 1999 golden era of trance. Best this Signum did.
Great interview Twan Signum were absolutely incredible back in the day, my favourite producers at the time! Does the next interview touch on why he and Pascal dont work together anymore? I know sometimes these things can be a touchy subject though...
For now I can only do interviews with people that live near me (in The Netherlands). In the pinned post on my Muzikxpress Facebook page you can read all details etc. And Sasha didn’t do much on Xpander... Charlie May is the one responsible for that. Sasha is not really a producer, great DJ, but he won’t be able to answer questions about the production etc, so he’s not really on my wish list. Sorry, just being honest 😉 I prefer to talk to people that were actually involved with their own hits / classics.
@@muzikxpress ah makes sense ! Thank you. The Dutch are always known for their honesty which is awesome 👏 Have you any plans to make a documentary on the history of trance or do you have a good recommendations on any?
That would be like asking for a Tiesto interview about 'his' most well known work on Delerium Silence remix. He may have had ideas and input in the studio with his partner, but the real talent lies in the technical production skills which I doubt he ever had the intelligence to pull off on his own. No disrespect intended at all, his much earlier work was quite decent too but his partner helped him a lot studio wise in the middle of his peak. Pity he went to shet after Adagio. Some say it was before that ＼(◎o◎)／
The original vocal says “it’s Crystal Clear to me, I’ve got something you need what have you got for me”. That’s just part of the full vocal. The bit you’re referring to I imagine is ‘it’s clear to me’
@@muzikxpress thank you. I did not know that track and I am just listening it. Amazing. I think this is one of the tracks when he was talking about chicane. Thank you for this track both Signum and Twan :D
@@djsolace8085 I think you’re right on dicogs it doesn’t give the actually date of what ya got for me’s original date but it does for the xtra nova release which is dec 7 the Dawn was in September of that year.
mate, you cant complain about the ads, do you realise how much work Twan puts in to his channel, at a lot of cost to himself.....ads help in this situation.
No ads means no more vlogs, simple as that :) This is a hobby for me, so everything is done in my spare time and I pay for everything myself. The little bit of money I make with ads and Patreon is all used on equipment, travel costs etc. Did you enjoy the interview as well, or will the comment about the ads be the only thing we're gonna see from you? ;-)
@@muzikxpress a lot of us understand and totally appreciate the hard work with time, equipment, travel, organization ect ect. Keep up the good work. Absolutely love hearing the backstory of all the classics tracks not just that but actually seeing & hearing and getting a small snippet of their personality as well. Back in the 90s & 00s it was extremely difficult to get information on who was behind creating the “soundtrack of our weekends”. Your hard work is definitely appreciated.
What is your all-time favorite Signum production / remix?
Ron Hagen & Pascal M - Forever . timeless classic as well as their Gamemaster remix! One of the best trance classics ever.
This...absolutely timeless...still sounds stunning today...the man is a genuis
The Timelord and Soul Deep (Signum Dub Mix). Also Come Around Again is a great tune!
The Timelord
The First Strike - would love to hear about the story behind this one
This guy is a
L E G E N D
When I used to work at BPM DANCE in Zoetermeer (2003) they had their studio there. Ron is a very down to earth and nice guy! Great, awesome tracks and yes... I have them on vinyl obviously 🤣😂
Such a classic track and a top bloke! So glad he is producing vinyl still.
The greatest club trance remixer of all time.
Its amazing to find out all these years later. My most played record.
Top tune, top bloke, interesting to learn they named Signum after a Vauxhall Signum they saw in a magazine in the UK
Nice interview. Ron is a cool guy. I had a chance to meet him once in Fresno, California. He played an absolute fire of a set that time. Signum = quality Trance music. He rocks.

Energy 52 cafe del Mar, is defo top five trance tracks of all time. 😄😄.
One of the greatest tunes ever created
I have always considered Ron a REAL artist and musician, the details and the art that are perceived in his records are goodies that many producers cannot even imagine in their best fantasies.
Great interview, Twan. This track is truly timeless. I can't believe how fresh it sounds, even today.
I still have the vinyl…played it out 100’s of time 👌
I'm so happy the new tracks will still be with that old vibe
just realised hes behind forever too, love that song x
oh my god this masterclass sounds insane
Still got my copy on the shelf. I’ll need to visit his online store, fingers crossed he’s still got some of the vinyl left 🤞🏼
One of my biggest inspirations for making Trance music.
Discoverd the Track today and than your interview popped up. 🙏😄Thanx to the algorithm!
Haha nice one! Always happy when my interviews pop up, that's a good thing ;-)
Legendary trance master Ron Hagen. 😍 Much Love for you both Twan and Ron
Ron you are my favourite guy from the old era of trance AND the the highest rated producer in my books ever. Cant wait for the downtempo stuff as Cinalematical is a masterpiece for me.
Geat track, always hear it at Tidy events,
First Strike is also a master piece
Incredible track...thank you for another interview.
And thank you too!
Thank you for your hard work one of my favourite tracks.
It's been quite a number of years but it's good to see Ron having the business mindset now :)
I love how those guys heard something as chilled as Offshore by Chicane and thought 'lets make something like that' and then produced one of the most iconic Hard House tunes of the time!
Haha I know right??
Absolute classic! I own 2 copies of the Tidy release (with the Tidy boys dub on side b)
What ya got 4 me the remix tinrib version, was the basis for my tattoo. love the original mix too. x
Awesome interview again twan :) Nice to see and hear from the guys that made these classic tracks. Looking forward as usual to your future interviews! :)
For me the Gamemaster remix is state of the art. I love the one for Better off alone of Alice Deejay, signum reinvented the track basically .
Ron Is da don! Check his enthusiasm. He's really so Dutch.
This track was a massive trade classic in the UK, the last time I heard it out was at a little gay pride a couple of years ago.
I remember it being played at Trade! The place went mad!
Oh "Randy Katana"? it's very interest story behind too))) Like this.... Thanks muzikxpress
"so did Anything inspire you?"
Best response 6:17 I've heard, i think there may be a bit of truth behind it even though he said he was joking.
So good right? 😂 Ron is great!
@@muzikxpress he's got a great sense of humour, I'd love to collaborate with him, share ideas, experiences and come up with something epic.
Another great interview!! I've had the pleasure of talking to Ron a couple of times in clubs and he's such a nice guy.
Awesome that he started making music while still at school!
Super cool interview with one of the legends of the scene. What a nice guy! Was definitely one of my inspirations back when i was producing trance!
Another great interview!
Such a great view mate!

Great interview Twan! I love Signum
What a great Chanel :)
I loved this song from the moment I heard it at gods kitchen in the U.K.

Great memories

Great interview...
I'm looking forward to hear more from Ron / Signum.
Awesome interview!
Always great interviews. Ron seems like a dead on bloke
Great to see another Interview Twan. Keep em coming!
Thanks a lot! More to come! :)
pressure is a track thats slept on
Massive fan.
I owned a vauxhall signum I used to always have a laugh playing signum in a signum... I never knew that's where they actually got their name from 😂
Haha I love it lol
love these interviews! great content!
Bangin trance one of the best
Great tune. Love the Tidy Boys remix
Love the sound of Tony de Vit!
"beer & weed" classic :)
Great interview and Ron is still cool guy!
Love this guy
Hello still l watching ❤
❤ amazing
Great! Really enjoyed this video 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
Great Interview! I thought this track was influenced by Tony de Vit - The Dawn? I read that a few years ago...both were released in 98.
No, the other way around. The Dawn was released two years later and was inspired by What Ya Got 4 Me.
@@local_celebrity 'The Dawn' was released in September 1998 on the Trade EP Disc 2.
Paul Janes actually remixed both which is interesting...
And Tony de Vit sadly passed away July 1998 so im guessing 'The Dawn' was made early 1998..
@@magdelayna googled that also and came to the same conclusion as yours, not that this is a super make-or-break background info point, but right is right and kudos to the original maker should always be attributed!
Twan: so was there anything that inspired you and Pascal when making "What do u got 4 me"?
Ron: "yeah beer and weed " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Epic!
🤣
Legend !
Coming On Strong - classic!
Quality as always
Sup leuk interview Ronald.. heel cool dat je vertelde over mij dat ik Axel F speelde op school 😉
Made some of the best tunes 👊👊👊
I would have love to have heard about the "Better off alone" remix they did. I'm biased, as for me personally, it's probably my favourite from the 1999 golden era of trance. Best this Signum did.
I only do interviews about originals, not about remixes 😉 There’s an interview with DJ Jurgen on my channel about “Better Off Alone” though.
Travel Bulgarian signum remix best tune they made absolutely amazing beautiful song
best use of 4mbs ever. :O
Lovely 💖👌🏼
It might be my speakers but this interview seems to be eq’d much lower than usual Twan -
Can we still access the 'Signum Presents 'What Ya Got 4 Me?' Track Deconstruction'
Oh damb! Let us watch now!!! Haha
Legend :)
llogik remix perfect remix for me ❤
Great interview Twan
Signum were absolutely incredible back in the day, my favourite producers at the time!
Does the next interview touch on why he and Pascal dont work together anymore?
I know sometimes these things can be a touchy subject though...
Thanks a lot Simon! And no, we're not gonna discuss that ;-)
@@muzikxpress why not?
@@gil..401 just take no for an answer :)
@@gil..401 When people / bands / acts break up, it is not always something they want to talk about ;-)

How did you make the track...’beer and weed’ lol

@@amoloney1984 I might combine or use interviews for that one day, who knows hehe
@@muzikxpress great idea!
Was he also Alphazone?
Nope, Alphazone was a German duo, not Dutch.
Where can we hear samples of the tracks that are coming out on his new vinyl label Xposed?
Check the Signum socials, Ron has been posting in which sets he did play the new tracks!
Did u ever meet Tony ,?,,cos I feel that while u younger u did
Anyone know what the lyrics exactly are? I can't make my mind up what I'm hearing :D
The original vocal says “it’s Crystal Clear to me, I’ve got something you need what have you got for me”. That’s just part of the full vocal.
The bit you’re referring to I imagine is ‘it’s clear to me’
@@jasonhallam1979 what a legend, thanks!
crzy1gs the original track is by Mount Rushmore
I WANNA COLLAB
@muzikexpress what is the other track in the background?
probably a clip of one of those forthcoming Xpose releases I suspect.
It's Signum - The Timelord. It was released around 2004 on the ASOT label. It's an absolute banger.
Signum - The Timelord!
@@JtnLpz thanks
@@muzikxpress thank you. I did not know that track and I am just listening it. Amazing. I think this is one of the tracks when he was talking about chicane. Thank you for this track both Signum and Twan :D
So the greatest trance track of all time started with a fight?
Vauxhall!!!
Sigmun tell us how many weed you smoke to make a tune?
Eddie halliwell vs sigmun... what ya got 4 me...❤😇🤟
There's no such version ;-) That is the original mix, compare the 2 and you'll hear it :)
So what came first, was it The Dawn by De Vit or What Ya Got......
What ya got 4 me did.
The Dawn came first Trust me Tony De Vit Signum wat u got came much later Fact
