As a result, he has been signed to TiLLT! Records where he had several releases, including collaborations with artists like Max Enforcer and Digital Punk. His solo release ‘Be As One’ was one of the biggest summer hits of 2011 and received many support all over the world. Recently, he made a labelswitch together with Max Enforcer to the brandnew Gold Records, a new label in cooperation with Scantraxx. Waverider’s debut was at Defqon.1 2010 which resulted in other great events such as Qountdown, Euphoria and The Qontinent.
