About

Bingo Players, the moniker for Maarten Hoogstraten, stands as a monument to resilience in the ever-shifting landscape of electronic music. Originally a Dutch duo with Paul Bäumer (RIP), Hoogstraten continues the project’s legacy, churning out infectious house anthems that command dance floors worldwide. Their sound, a vibrant blend of electro-house, progressive house, and hints of Dutch house, is characterized by soaring synth melodies, powerful basslines, and irresistibly catchy vocal chops. The duo's breakthrough came with the 2009 hit “Touch Me,” but it was “Cry (Just a Little)” in 2011 that catapulted them into the global spotlight, earning them platinum status and solidifying their position as major players in the EDM scene. Subsequent hits like "Rattle" and "Get Up (Rattle)" cemented their fame. Bäumer's tragic passing in 2013 shook the EDM community, but Hoogstraten chose to honor his partner's memory by continuing Bingo Players. Maintaining a rigorous touring schedule, Bingo Players remains a force to be reckoned with, consistently releasing new music and captivating audiences with high-energy performances. Recent projects showcase a continued evolution of their signature sound, demonstrating Hoogstraten's commitment to innovation while staying true to the core principles that made Bingo Players a global phenomenon. The legacy endures, one beat at a time.
