We need to sing along or whistle along or to have an earworm, you know what I mean? Something that sticks in your head.” “We can connect with a song if the melody is strong even though it can still be bare bones. Then a song would just evolve,” said Maarten of their songwriting process. “Most of the time we'd just start with a melody. 2009’s “Devotion” utilizes the catchy vocal hook, and sets it against a funky infectious saxophone riff and syncopated backbeat. Their songs- featuring buzzing, bouncing synthesizers, crunchy, guitar-like riffs reminiscent of the Chemical Brothers, and powerful, driving beats- are shaped by a memorable lyrical hook or a melody. Their tracks started to resonate with the EDM crowds in America and abroad. Over the next decade they began recording and in 2006 they began recording under the moniker, Bingo Players. “When we discovered we were both making similar sounding music with the same program we started spending all our time together and became friends right away'” said Maarten.
“It was only four channels and was really basic, but it was a start and really fun to do.” One day, he went over to hang out with Paul’s younger brother, and found that Paul was also making music using ProTracker software. Maarten met Paul through his younger brother in Enschede, Holland, a two-hour drive from Amsterdam.

When he was a teenager, two events would change his life. But, at the time, to make dance music, you needed physical equipment-synthesizers and drum machines-far out of his reach at his age. The producer behind the hit EDM act, Bingo Players, got hooked on electronic music when he was a kid, listening to The Prodigy’s “Out of Space,” and wishing he could make the kind of tunes that were being played on Dutch radio. “I was the one who bought records when I was young, I bought lots of vinyl, seven-inches, twelve inches, and when CDs came about I bought a lot of CDs, growing up, I spent all my money on music.” “You know how it starts,” he said with a chuckle. When he was 10, his friends were buying toys to play with, but Maarten was already spending his cash on vinyl and CDs.
