Black Hole Recordings is a Dutch recording label founded by one of the world's leading DJs Tijs Verwest (Tiësto), and Arny Bink in 1997. The label is currently distributed by Koch Entertainment.

History

1997-2004

In 1997 when the label was founded by Tiësto and Arny Bink it privately launched only Tiësto’s own productions and mixes. After the release of Magik One: First Flight and Space Age 1.0 Tiësto's fame began to rise and so did the label.[1] In 1998 it began as a private label for the productions and mixes of Tiësto, whose popularity begun rising. Due to the succes of the first two DJ Mix compilations, Magik One: First Flight and Space Age 1.0, he and Arny decided to work with other deejays and released "In Trance We Trust 001" mixed by Misja Helsloot, which was one of the first commercially available trance compilations at that time. With the support the imprint gave to Misja, other deejays and producers got interested in working together. The label released the first DJ Mix compilations to many artists like Stigma, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Johan Gielen, Cor Fijneman, DJ Montana, and Ton TB.[2] As Tiësto released 12" Vinyls for himself he also introduced many tracks from other deejays through the vinyl system on 10 different sublabels, each having its own specific style of electronic dance music. Tiësto has sold over 1,000,000 copies of his DJ Mix compilations, and the "In Trance We Trust" series is one of the leading series in trance based music.[3] Misja Helsloot was the first to work with Tiësto in In Trance We Trust, Tiësto only helped compiling the DJ Mixes until the fifth installment in 2001.[4][5]

Between 1999 and 2000, Tiësto released his own Artist Profile Series after Ferry Corsten's Solar Serenades DJ Mix, Tiësto's number two included Magik Four: A New Adventure; Black Hole CD 07 is the only CD which is also released in the Artist Profile Series, after the four first Magik CDs were re-released in 2000 with new artwork. The sleeves on the first copies were replaced because of unauthorized use of Patrick Woodroffe's artwork.[6] DJ René followed the Artist Profile Series with number three All Over The World, Armin van Buuren's Boundaries of Imagination which became the fourth installment and fifth with DJ HH // Hardy Heller's Artist Profile Mix In Motion.[7]

In the first day of 2001, Prime Time Management became the official booking agency of Tiësto, it's main objective is the development of Tiësto as an artist.[8] Starting December 16 2002, Black Hole began compiling its catalogue for purchase download at beatport.com; it's sublabels were added later that year.[9] In 2001 Jonas Steur joined the label and released music under the artist name Estuera.[10] That same year Ralphie B signed to the label when Tiësto heard one track from him and was released on the "In Trance We Trust" imprint.[11]

In 2004 the label released a 2xCD compilation, "Black Hole Recordings: Best of 1997-2004"; the first disc contains unmixed tracks and the second disc is mixed by DJ Ton T.B. The DJ Mix contains the best of the label from 1997 to 2004.[12]

2005-Present

In 2005, Sander van Dien and Ralphie B joined together on some tracks, they released songs under the alias Midway and later created the alias "First State" which is a breakthrough according to the label.[13] The First State album "Time Frame" has released already two singles and it is expected that "Time Frame II - the sequel" and "Time Frame III" will be released later.[14] It was 2006 when Black Hole asked Jonas Steur for a solo album; "Born for the night" was released in 2007.[15]

Black Hole Recordings was nominated for the WMC Awards: Miami as Best Global Dance Record Label 2008.

Streamline Studios, an independent game developer and digital content provider for AAA video games and Black Hole have confirmed the formation of Streamline Sound, a joint venture which will provide sound solutions for digital entertainment. Streamline Sound combines audio services and 5.1 studio with the artist catalog of Black Hole Recordings, including Grammy-nominated electronic music superstar Tiësto and a large number of independent composers and musicians.[16]

Streamline Sound is the new partner for independent artists who want to create audio for video games, I wanted to help create a platform to not only put my own musical ideas into games but the music of innovative artists from all genres, whether electronic, classical, rock, or hip-hop.

— said Black Hole Recordings artist and co-founder Tiësto. [16]

Iwan de Kuijper, New Media Manager for Black Hole Recordings will be the General Manager of Streamline Sound dealing with business matters, along music industry veteran artist and engineer Tom Pearce functioning as Audio Director for projects.

Currently Streamline Sound has three main artists, ambient expert Tom Pearce, classical composer Geert Huinink, and electronic producer Tiësto. Geert Huinink has been assigned to compose game soundtracks and is part of the Virtualish project to create video game scores in a theatrical show.[17] Streamline Sound will release the soundtrack of Korean MMORPG Granado Espada in the first half of 2008.[18]

On May 24, the Dutch club "The Matrixx" in Nijmegen featured the performance of artists like Cor Fijneman, Cosmic Gate, First State, Mark Norman, Mr. Sam, Phynn, Progression and Ton TB.[19] It is expected that after the release of this party, the exclusive best of CD from the imprint called "10 Years of Black Hole Recordings" will be released.[20]
