First State Music

Probably one of the most exciting and talented producers in Electronic Dance Music at the moment, Sander van Dien has cemented his place in the record boxes and sets of the biggest and most influential Progressive and Trance acts across the globe. Under the FIRSTSTATE guise, he has been able to produce some of the biggest and most noticeable tracks over the passed 3 years. Until recently, “FALLING” (featuring Anita Kelsey) was somewhat of an anthem, and gained monumental support, especially from Tiesto, who requested that FIRSTSTATE perform alongside him on the famous “In Search Of Sunrise” tour across Europe. From the very beginning, FIRST STATE’s releases have been nothing less then extraordinary, especially the more renown tracks, such as “Evergreen”, “Your Own Way” (feat Elliot Johns), “Off the Radar” and remixes of Vimana’s “We Came”, Dash Berlin’s “Waiting” and Filo & Peri’s “Ashely”. The current hit single doing the rounds all over the world is FIRST STATE featuring Sarah Howells “BRAVE”, and boasted 5 weeks in the Beatport Trance top 5, iTunes Best Sellers top 8 and was a frequent in the shopping carts of consumers across many other download portals.
