Maurice Steenbergen

Creative Consultant

With a career spanning over three decades, I have been a driving force in the Dutch entertainment industry, consistently pushing boundaries and setting new standards.
As a creative consultant, I now bring my experience and industry knowledge to help guide the next generation of creative professionals to success.

Music Production

My adventure started at the age of 19 when I produced "Poing," a track that soared to global success and significantly influenced the rave music scene. This pioneering track paved the way for the harder styles of rave music and inspired "2 Unlimited" to create their hit "No Limits." In 1992, "Poing" became a platinum-awarded chart-topper, reaching #2 in The Netherlands and #3 in Belgium, while securing a spot at #27 in the UK charts.

Since the success of "Poing," I've continued to explore and produce music across various genres, including dance, rock, and hip-hop, further diversifying my contributions to the music industry. Today my work is featured on 175 compilation titles and has two entries in the UK Guinness Book of Hit Records.

Video Production

Transitioning from music production to video production, I leveraged my background in graphic design to create visually captivating music videos for DJ Paul Elstak's early hits and Kadoc's "Nighttrain." More recent is the music video for Deorro's hit-single "Yee", that has amassed over 40 million views to date. Between 1994 and 2014, I produced over 100 projects for major and independent labels, including Sony, BMG, Warner, Kontor and Universal Music. My contributions to the music video industry were acknowledged with six top-10 hits and the Buma NL Award for Best Music Video in 2011.

In 2013, I embarked on a new venture, creating my first documentary, "Oldschool Renegades" in collaboration with Topnotch and Universal Music. This project was a deep dive into the early rave scene of the 90s, featuring interviews with legends like Moby, The Prodigy, Frankie Bones, and many others. The documentary premiered at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). It was internationally recognized at Film festivals, including the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival.
