BREAKING: We have TWO major announcements for you regarding the Rank 1-verse!!

ANNOUNCEMENT 1
What? Rank 1 boys reunite!
When? Monday June 22nd and Tuesday June 23rd 2026
Where? Benno's studio
Taken from Benno de Goeij Instagram:
Well guess what!!! As Benno indicated in the Muzikxpress Interview about "Rank 1 - Airwave", he was planning to do studio sessions with Piet again: preferably the way they used to work together back in the day as "there was a certain magic to that": Piet comes into the studio, they spend a day making music and at the end there should be a final product...
So today Piet went back into the studio with Benno, and the latter posted a series of clips on his Instagram stories that had the two friends and Founding Fathers of Dutch Anthem Trance up to their old studio shennanigans again! xD I can't embed Stories sadly but the next day, they had another sessions which Benno posted as a regular clip so watch it below to watch "two ordinary Dutch guys" having a blast in the studio:
This clip had us in stitches too... xDD Isn't this fantastic news?! It feels like 2010-2013 Twitter all over again! :D

ANNOUNCEMENT 2
What? The Legendary Dutch Force is revived!
When? Tuesday June 23rd 2026
Where? Benno's studio
Taken from Benno de Goeij Instagram Stories:
A few days ago, Benno was teaching his daughter how to DJ, explaining the 4x4 rhythm/tempo and how producers/DJs have an internal "counter" for this measure. It inspired Benno to play with weird rhythms again, and so he decided to make a 3/4 time signature track!
He posted some clips of the track and today he revealed that this new experimental track is in fact the revival of his Legendary "Dutch Force" solo alias!! He also offered to send it to DJs he had at least shaken hands with! This new masterpiece will be called "Who Dares To Play This Record", by Dutch Force!! :D Keep an eye out on the artist page for Dutch Force on 1001tracklists to hear this catchy, fresh, weird and cool track!
Please visit Symsonic2 for the first draft on Who Dares To Play This Record! Once more details about it emerge, it will be filled with additional information and links!
