CJ Bolland
CJ Bolland is one of the pioneers of techno. Born in England and raised in Antwerp, he was one of the first artists to sign to the legendary Ghent label R&S Records. With tracks such as ‘Horsepower’ and ‘Camargue’ he quickly became one of the biggest names in the new techno scene, and those classics remain essential in any good retro set today.
He also scored big international hits. ‘Sugar Is Sweeter’ went to number one on the US Billboard dance chart, and ‘The Prophet’, with its famous Willem Dafoe sample from ‘The Last Temptation Of Christ’, is still a club hit. He was the first artist to release an album in Studio !K7’s renowned ‘DJ-Kicks’ series, and has remixed tracks by Orbital, Depeche Mode, Moby, The Prodigy and Tori Amos, among others. Together with dEUS frontman Tom Barman, he also formed the project Magnus.
Today CJ Bolland writes new music under his own name, as Sonic Solution and, with Steve Cop and DJ Steel, as O.R.B. He is a regular at the biggest retro and Bonzai parties, with a retro set full of his own classics and techno anthems from the golden years. Want to book him for your retro party, festival or event?
