Bart Claessen:
Dutchman Bart Claessen was born on January 22, 1980 and he started playing music already at a young age. At the end of the 90’s he had a little studio and with this equipment he produced his first track. That track, ‘Barthezz - On The Move’, was released in 2001 and it became 2001's summer-anthem around the globe. The follow up, ‘Infected’, saw it’s release in 2002.
In 2003 Bart started a new project called ‘StereoShaker’. That release was called ‘Rock ‘n Roll’. After the ‘Barthezz’ and the ‘StereoShaker’ projects, Bart released his first track under his own name ‘Bart Claessen’. Bart changed his style of producing, so people can now hear tracks that are simular to the music that he’s playing in his DJ sets.
Bart also remixed tracks for acts like Ferry Corsten, Chocolate Puma, System F, Blank & Jones, Super8 & Tab, Signalrunners, Bardo State, Robert Burian and many others!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gone forgive but won't forget so here we are
I'm bout my bread you bout a bitch so here we are
When I play I play to win so here we are
I want the cake I want the wraith I want the stars
Thought I had better things to chase but here we are
It's bread to burn and bread to make so here we are
It's heads to turn and heads to take so here we are
She told me she don't suck dick but here we are
I dont catch feelings for a bitch so here we are
I'm in the game you in the game but here we are
I caught a case my lawyer great I beat a charge
Then took an L on my probation, dirty car
Play with my money that's like playing with my heart
I put that blower in ya mouth like CPR
I don't like games I play to win I play it smart
Put yo patnas in a cart when I check out I pay in bars
I called you "bro" and now you moving like you Scar
Now you catching bullets like the dart
I got caught slipping wit no stick so here we are
I'm gone forgive but won't forget so here we are
I'm bout my bread and don't trust shit so here we are
When I play I play to win so here we are
You said you loved me when you didn't here we are
You told me shit would be different here we are
Call me Chance or Yam cuz Clinton isn't here we are
Call me Chance or Yam cuz Clinton isn't here we are
Yambo with a 30, you can't knock it if it's workin
Niggas know that they ain't perfect but we workin on that
I'm still pourin dirty, badder hoes is gettin flirty
I just smoke till I stop hurting then I'm blowin out backs
I think I'm sick, feel like a lick, shine like a star
I'm Yam XanDamn but I just can't fuck with them bars
Your bitch can swallow kids like candy ima jar
If that's a problem we can smoke you boys like gars
The song "We Are" by Who.Is starts with the line "I got caught slipping wit no stick so here we are." The line implies that the singer was caught off guard, without any means of defense. Consequently, it has led to a situation that he finds himself in with a person. The second line, "I'm gone forgive, but won't forget, so here we are," suggests that the singer is willing to let go of the events that have transpired, but he will still remember them. This line shows how the singer has a forgiving nature, but at the same time, he's not naive enough to forget what happened or any lessons he may have learned from the experience.
The song also emphasizes the singer's quest for success and financial stability, which is evident in the lines "I'm bout my bread you bout a bitch so here we are," and "I want the cake I want the wraith I want the stars." The singer emphasizes his desire for material possessions, which he believes will give him satisfaction and fulfillment. The line "It's heads to turn and heads to take so here we are" may imply that he's not doing this alone, as he has "patnas" who are assisting him in this quest for wealth and status.
Overall, the song "We Are" is a reflection of the challenges and struggles that the singer is facing in his quest for success. It showcases his ability to remain focused, even when things don't go as planned, and his determination to achieve his goals.

it sounds like the old Anjunabeats days (read: the BEST Anjunabeats days). It sucks that the newer trance stuff isn't exactly trance, it's too light. But this is the best I've heard from the label in about 2 years. Amazing.
@jonathonkearney750
In love with this tune, I like how the "spacey" pads/leads come through early in the song and continue after the melody 🙏👌 This sums up how good proper Anjunabeats used to be 🙌
@Halfy
Thhis is a FUTURE CLASSIC track! I absolutely love it!
