After a while he felt that only spinning tracks from other producers just didn’t satisfy him anymore. He had a lot of ideas and creativity that he was dying to let out, so he started producing somewhere in 2003.
When he accidentally switched record bags with some guys at a gig, who happened to be the owners of a small Dutch hardstyle label called Special Records, this resulted in his first release in 2006.
Having had a taste of releasing my tracks on vinyl, he spends even more time on developing his skills and sound as a producer. After a release on the Italian label Droppin' Beats, he got into contact with Arjen and Anco Timmermans, better known as the Alphatwins. The Ran-D sound and A2-records were a perfect match.

Ran-D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you ready to unlock the door with the key of imagination?
Beyond it is another place
It is the middle ground between light and shadow
It lies between the pit of man′s fear and the summit of his knowledge
It is a place of imagination
Welcome to the Twilight Zone
Welcome
The shadows
Are you ready to unlock the door with the key of imagination?
Beyond it is another place
Enter the light
Enter
Enter the Twilight Zone
Enter the shadows
Welcome
Enter the shadows
The shadows
The lyrics of Ran-D's song "The Twilight Zone" are a reference to the 1959 television series of the same name created by Rod Sterling. The show explored surreal and supernatural themes through its various episodes, and often dealt with concepts of time travel, alternate dimensions, and the concept of reality vs. illusion.
The opening lines "Light or shadow" sets the tone for the track, with the lyrics evoking a sense of duality. The following lines "Are you ready to unlock the door with the key of imagination?" are a direct reference to the opening narration of the television show, which asks viewers to open their minds to the unknown. The lyrics then describe the "Twilight Zone" as a place that exists somewhere between light and shadow, between the known and the unknown, and between fear and knowledge.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the invitation to enter the Twilight Zone, either through the shadows or the light. The song's lyrics suggest that this dimension is a place of imagination, where anything is possible, and where the mind is free to explore the unknown.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the strange and surreal, and invites listeners to embrace the unknown and let their imaginations run wild.

Q-Base and me have a history together. It’s always been one of my favorite outdoor events, because of the special location and it’s underground feel in the bunkers and hangars. Even before I first played at Q-base in 2009 I went to quite a few editions as a visitor. I can still remember how nervous I was for my first gig at Q-base, it was a dream come true. Since that edition I’ve played 10 times at Q-base (including G4H gigs), and in 2013 I even had the honor of making the Q-base anthem, The Twilight Zone. I’m truly gonna miss Q-base, and I do hope sincerely Q-Dance will develop a new mind-blowing event in the spirit of Q-base. One thing is for sure, we will close this edition down in style and create some precious last memories of Q-base. See you at the open air 03:00 - 04:00, for my b2b set with my good friend mr. B-Front. It will be madness!!!🔥
