The Musicians

Ron Boots (born 1962, Eindhoven, NL) plays electronic music since the early 80s and is part of the so-called third generation of EM musicians. He owns Groove Unlimited, the Dutch largest label and mail-order company for electronic music.

Remy Stroomer, a.k.a. REMY (born 1979, Haarlem, NL) produces music in the electronic music genre since the mid 90s. He debuted in 1999 with his double-cd ‘Exhibition of Dreams’. His early works can be compared with those of Klaus Schulze from the late 80s and early 90s. He is co-founder of AKH Records and now runs his Deserted Island Music-label.

The Concert

The three part programme combines electronic music with classical elements at the unique site of the Grote of St.Bavokerk, situated in the city centre of Haarlem. Headlining musicians Ron Boots and REMY (Stroomer) will play in front of the world famous C. Müller organ.
REMY performs one hour of music, exclusively composed for this occasion. Besides using electronics and the grand piano, he will be accompanied by violinists Wouter de Ruyter and Dick Bijlsma and cello player Martine de Ket, members of the Symfonie Orkest Bloembollenstreek.
Ron Boots’ part consists of a 45-minute set, inspired by the late 70s period music of Klaus Schulze and also contains completely exclusive music. He will be accompanied by fellow synth player Eric van der Heijden and percussionist Harold van der Heijden. Two musicians Ron has collaborated regularly with in the past twenty years.
The third part of ‘The Return of Planet X’ will see Ron Boots and REMY performing together. Details about this set will be announced shortly.
