Where does your name come from?
We couldn’t find a suitable name and then one night we had a few drinks and we came up with this. We thought it was too crazy but friends loved the name so we kept it.
How did you get into this and how did you meet?
First we were friends and then we found out we had the same taste in music. We started to produce together for a few years before we started Bingo Players.
What makes a good DJ great?
To really feel what the crowd wants and at the same time have your own recognizable style.
How does your DJ pairing work? Who does what – do you each have specific roles?
We both do exactly the same. So it’s a 50-50 thing.
And what about in the studio?
We both can make beats and create melodies but Maarten is the more technical guy and Paul the concept guy.
Where does all the energy in your productions come from?
To create something that you really love, automatically triggers a lot of energy.
Do you make tracks which are an expression of how you feel or which are something that will work on the dance floor?
We think it’s a mixture of both. We always start with creating something that we feel and afterwards we try to apply some tricks to make it work on the dancefloor.
Do you prefer making beats or playing them?
It’s both very satisfying!
What can people expect from your set at Liaison?
Expect a lot of energy and lots of Bingo tracks, we’re gonna make a big party! See you there, looking forward to it!

Liaison return to Pacha after a 2 month break from their epic NYE party and in true Liaison style they’re back with quite a firm! If you was there NYE you’d understand that this party is one not to miss and with the continuity of every great party comes another great Line-Up. So expect to hear the finest, cutting edge sounds of House music once again…
This time round we welcome the Bingo Players to our already chart topping profile. Paul Bäumer & Maarten Hoogstraten have been left gasping for air after a seriously hectic year with bookings in the Netherlands and abroad. Outgrowing local bingo halls to play with the big ballers of the game has been the result of their hard work and commitment. The Bingo Players appear to have been made for each other, the proof of which came in November 2009, when the DJ/producer duo topped the Beatport overall chart for a second time with their remake of the dance floor classic, “Devotion”, which stayed on no. 1 for two weeks and over a month in the top 10! It’s no surprise then that nowadays every DJ supports the Bingo sound and is no wonder why we have snapped them up to join us at Liaison…
Also joining the Liaison roster for the first time will be the famous Prok & Fitch. Tipped by the national media as ‘One To Watch’ in 2009, Prok & Fitch have more than proved the journalists’ predictions right. The hottest DJ/producer pairing in house music have chalked up an impressive array of achievements in the past twelve months, including rocking the main room at Amnesia in Ibiza, touring Brazil and Australia and releasing both critically acclaimed and dancefloor-approved tracks. With massive plans afoot for Prok & Fitch and Floorplay (their very own brainchild) over the coming months – it’d be fair to say they’re still the ‘ones to watch’ in 2010 and beyond…
West London duo Funky Soldiers, now signed to one of house music’s biggest label Mn’2s, will be joining these great talents. As well as our two superb residents Michael Green and Leroy Roberts.
Hosting the Global Room we welcome Essex’ biggest up and coming party “DirtBox”. Launching Winter ’09 these guys have already grown a loyal following and it comes with no surprise as they pinpoint what there all about to a tee. With cutting edge sounds and a true up-for-it crowd they really know how to create an atmosphere, the perfect recipe for a night out!
Not to mention the most distinctive, imaginative décor and entertainment any party has to offer, this is set to be yet another unforgettable event as Liaison returns to Pacha, Saturday 6th March!!!
