Rank 1's Other Projects

| I've commenced the painstaking process of turning this page into an entire blog of its own! Introducing Symsonic 2 (The Bervoets & De Goeij Archive):
https://symsonic2.blogspot.com/! These are the other projects Piet and/or Benno were involved in next to their own Rank 1 business. Let me first present an overview of their aliases, followed by actual releases. I've added 2-letter codes (short list) in front of each release so you know whether Piet, Benno or both were involved. NOTE: I have omitted the Benno co-productions he has done with Armin as "Armin van Buuren" as it's a never-ending list of releases that no doubt some devoted Armin diehard keeps track off... This blog is dedicated to the guys behind Rank 1, Piet & Benno, so it defeats the purpose to have an entire segment dedicated to +200 Armin tracks. :P |
