Fedde Le Grand
Gatecrasher Birmingham
Saturday 24th April
Fedde le Grand stands on the edge of global superstardom. Behind him lies a glittering career that includes worldwide number ones, packed arenas, throbbing dance floors, A‐list collaborations and a raft of international awards. Just ahead - his first studio album called ‘Output', setting the pace for what is already shaping up to be a fast track 2009.
It could be said that Fedde came out of nowhere, riding off the success of a hit record. Well, let's set that record straight - you couldn't get further away from the truth. The truth is that his parties had been rocking the Netherlands since 2001; his label Flamingo Recordings has been pushing its unique sound since 2004; and then in 2006 Put your hands up for Detroit happened.
In fact ‘happened' doesn't do what occurred justice - quite simply, it exploded. The track hit No 1 in the UK, Spain, Russia, Finland and Bulgaria; won Best Underground House Track and Best Breaks/Electro Track at the IMDA 2007, Club Banger Of The Year at the 6th Annual Club Awards in Miami 2008 and secured Fedde the fiercely fought over Best Breakthrough Solo Artist gong at the IMDA 2007.
But though this may have been an impressive ‘beginning', it was just that - a beginning. There was more to come from le Grand and the world was about to sit up and take notice of the Dutchman. Let Me Think About It, The Creeps and 3 Minutes to Explain all followed, setting clubland on fire and stamping Fedde's name all over the global music charts. There was nobody anywhere that fell short of Fedde's magic - including Grammy Award‐winning Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am and Madonna - need we go on? That the Queen of Pop should have picked up on Fedde came as no surprise to anyone with one eye on his meteoric career. After using Put your hands up to promote her Sticky and Sweet tour, she then personally requested Fedde's remix skills for her global smash hit Give It 2 Me.
