The Windish Agency

Let’s introduce: we are NO_ID. Yes that’s in capitals and with an underscore! Born in Amsterdam, raised in music.

The NO_ID duo kicked off in the year 2008, formed by two local heroes. Ralph van Vugt & Devi van der Horst joined forces and instantly shook the Dutch DJ scene by winning the Amsterdam Dance Event Demolition Contest with one of their first tracks called “Wurld”. This track was nominated for best house track with commercial potential. NO_ID tries to create a new and fresh international big room, progressive house sound, that is rarely found on the Dutch and international dance floors nowadays.

Constantly finding new ways to enthuse and arouse their audiences that is what NO_ID stands for and where these two guys put their faith in. Firm believers in the element of surprise, they let the music speak for itself as they play. Projects of NO_ID have been released on Axtone Records, Diffused Music, Armada Music, Ultra Records, Toolroom Records, Spinnin’ Records, Cr2 Records, and others. Supported by Axwell, Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Sander van Doorn, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South, Mark Knight, Chris Lake and Michael Woods to name but a few.

They had a pretty impressive array of releases in 2011. Starting off with “Nothing Left To Lose” on Cr2 Records, creating a buzz on several big music stations and online. Followed by two massive releases on Diffused Music: “Sex Sells EP”, a big hit on ID&T’s Sensation events among others, and “How R U Feeling Right Now”, accompanied by the Axwell approved Michael Woods edit. Last year was a watershed for NO_ID with the boys personally asked by Swedish House Mafia’s Axwell to join forces with his Axtone Management team. They immediately cut their teeth with a remix for Axtone on Henrik B’s ‘Leave A Light On’ ft Rudy that gained immense worldwide support, swiftly followed by the their take on ‘Wild One Two’.

They have been flying all over the world ever since, these guys are here to stay. Performing at Masquerade Motel during WMC, the legendary Swedish House Mafia’s Milton Keynes Bowl gig & stadium support slots including a home leg in Amsterdam, debuting at Ushuaia Ibiza, a European and individual US tour were just some of the highlights of the last 12 months.

This year has continued at the same relentless pace as last with Ralph & Devi set to embark on a tour of Asia, then heading off to North America for further shows with the Mafiosi trio having only just played with them on their South Africa shows.

If last year the boys learnt the ropes & rigors of life on the road, this year will see them unleash their studio secrets to an expectant electronic community. With an Axtone single penciled for release this year, Axwell collaboration & a further single with Prok & Fitch the guys are fastening their seat belts for what is yet to come!
