Ralph Barendse released his first dance record in 1999 as Alpha Breed.
In 2001 a new track was noticed by DJ Tiesto and got signed and released as Ralphie B – Massive on In Trance We Trust (Black Hole Recordings).
The release became a huge success, was licensed to Ministry Of Sound, Vandit and many other labels, and is nowadays considered a classic anthem
of the trance era.
After the great response to Massive, many Ralphie B. remixes followed, and in 2002 a new project was released on In Trance We Trust: Midway - Monkey Forest .
It turned out to be an instant success. Ralphie focussed on this new Midway guise in 2003, which resulted in several new tracks and remixes,
including Midway – Inca (which also featured on Tiesto's compilation Nyana) and Midway – Amazon in 2004.
Ralph eventually asked his friend Sander van der Waal (1981) to do a remix for this track.
Sander already had released some successful records as Devoidand ‘Sander van Dien.
Black Hole instantly signed his Amazon remix and released it together with the original version.
In 2005, Sander and Ralphie decided to work together on a track.
Their first co-production was called First State - First State and was released on In Trance We Trust.
It became a big hit and got played exclusively by Tiesto for a long time before the rest of the big DJs followed.
Because of the success of this new project and the huge click between both of them, Ralphie and Sander decided to bundle their powers,
merging the studio together in Dordrecht, The Netherlands and make First State their main outlet for their productions.
In June 2006, Black Hole Recordings signed their new First State track called Evergreen and asked if they were interested in producing a First State album.
The guys spent almost a year to produce their album and finished it with a total of ten tracks that fully represent what they stand for.
The setup of the whole record is one similar to a DJ set; an easy going beginning that grows with housey tracks towards a nice climax with more techy productions.
Of course the real trance aficionado will find what he wants: the fat trance sound that made the duo famous, complete with classical arrangements.
At the same time, obvious influences of regular house and minimal are present in songs like Falling with Anita Kelsey,
which currently features on Tiesto’s successful mixcompilation In Search of Sunrise 6. Other vocal collaborations are Where Do We Go with Tiff Lacey and Your Own Way
with Elliot Johns. First State have succeeded in their biggest challenge, to deliver an album which not only reflects the time in which it was made,
but also to producere mere timeless tracks, classics or anthems even. Time Frame is all of that and more.
First State is ready to trance the world!
