Benno de Goeij (born 1975 in Oud-Beijerland, Netherlands) is a Dutch trance producer. He is perhaps best known for his participation in Rank 1 with Piet Bervoets and Kamaya Painters with Tiësto. Since 2008 De Goeij has been known as the co-producer behind the Dutch trance acts Armin van Buuren and Jochen Miller.

History

Early years (1996–1998)

Benno de Goeij began working as a producer in 1997 alongside Piet Bervoets whom he met at a party.^[1] They decided to create music of their own and created the duo Pedro & Benno with singles "Scream For Love", "Talkin' To You", and "Speechless" released under Karma Records.^[2] They also created tracks under the aliases A.I.D.A., AMbassadro, Chiqeau, Control Freaks, Gualagara, Jonah, Mac J, Precious People, R.O.O.S., Simplistic Mind, System Eight, Triotone and Two Disciples.

The Rank 1 project (1998–2003)

In 1998, Rank 1 was born as they thought it would be a perfect joke to see a group named Rank 1 at a number 1 position. This joke became real when "Airwave" hit numerous charts at that position. They also remixed Cygnus X's "Superstring" song and released an anthem for Sensation in 2001 known as "Such Is Life" from the album Symsonic. In 2003 they re-released "Breathing" which was another charting track since it was a more break beat version of "Airwave".^[3] In 1998 Tiësto and Goeij created Kamaya Painters, with three successful singles.

Work outside of Rank 1 (2004–present)

In 2007, their first work with Armin van Buuren was created, it featured Kush and was entitled "This World Is Watching Me"; The song was written by van Buuren, de Goeij, Pete Kirtley, Sacha Collisso and Zoe Durrant.^[4] As of then Goeij began helping Armin on his next studio album. In early 2008 Rank 1 collaborated with Jochen Miller on the song "And Then..." which was written, composed, and arranged by de Goeij.^[5] In 2008, Armin van Buuren released his third studio album, Imagine, which included Goeij's writing and production abilities in all songs except for "Imagine", "Fine Without You", and "Intricacy".^[6]
