2007-11-04: 1st anniversary! - Message from Elles
>> 1 year of this great website!! Great job Andreas!!
Thank you so much for putting this up and keeping it updated for the fans and music lovers!
This last 12 months has been really nice for the projects 'return' or better said keeping it alive. There's loads of new stuff to keep ya all satisfied. And for my own satisfaction... I just love the fact that Armin re-releases my alltime favorite 'The Sound of Goodbye'. For me this song has sooo many memories with touring, performing at clubs, festivals and tv-shows... and flying around the globe with my manager and great friend Raz!! His lyrics are the best and true for what's needed always.
Let's hope all you music-lovers still like the song as much as I do, and let it be in the charts again!!
By the way: my compliments to Simon and Shaker. What a wicked remix!! I've send this link to all my close friends and family too! Can't miss it!
This year has been crazy for me in a different way... I've travelled loads... this year already 29 flights... promoting this project but also doing other work. Like Aerial dancing/Silks combined with Singing. This turned out to be very succesful in the biggest clubs in Mexico West coast... doing Aerial dancing combined with Singing 'The Sound of Goodbye'. Attached a link to see a little video from the performances.
The world is a crazy place where everything is possible and I very much like to explore the things which are not been done yet... so I will continue to go places and do crazy things where people should know about great music and great dj's!!
Right now I'm back in Holland. Studio stuff to do and work to continue. Hope to make u people happy with great songs and melodies. But most to thank the Dj's and the Writers!!! Soon I'll be going to mid America again to see if they still remember tha crazy dutch....smile!
Here some fun links of some other little projects i did...just for fun! Enjoy the music forever and ever and ever................!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx all for being great fans!!!!!!!!!!

2007-10-29: Releases
>> The Priority Q vinyl has been delayed again and is going to be released on 5th November hopefully. In the same week, the new CD-single by Armin van Buuren - "The Sound Of Goodbye" is set to hit the Dutch stores. Including a Radio Edit by Simon & Shaker, the superb Nic Chagall Drumbeat Re-Edit and for those who haven't bought Armin's "10 Years" album yet the rare Dark Matter remix!
------------------------
2007-10-19: "Mirror Of My Memory" vinyl
>> Fresh news concerning the vinyl release of "Mirror Of My Memory". Sirup's 12" contains four mixes and should be available now or in the next days. A little hint for those of you who can't find the record in the online shops: The inscribed artist name is simply "Elles de Graaf", "Priority Q" is misleadingly the title in most cases. Decks.de even calls it "Mirror Of My Money" - strange, but true... If you need help, feel free to ask admin@ellesdegraaf.net!
------------------------
