meteen met een Dancesmash op Radio 538. Deze
debuut single “How Deep” scoorde meteen hoog in de
hitlijsten en stond wekenlang op de playlists van diverse major radio-

te stoppen was. "On my Way" werd ondersteund door top DJ’s als:
Armin van Buuren, E-Craig, DJ Jean, DJ José en
Randy Katana die de plaat onlangs nog op Mystery Land
(ID&T) op z’n playlist had staan. “On my way” stond wekenlang op de

Voor de 3e single "We Rock Together" ging Roy een samenwerking aan met

remix zorgde er tevens voor dat Roy Gates wereldwijd op de kaart werd
gezet. De Bijbehorende Videoclip is opgenomen in Polen
waar Roy Gates regelmatig “The Wheels of Steel” bedient in de diverse
toonaangevende clubs.
Ook “We Rock Together” stond op de playlists van TMF en Slam!FM.

"Lose myself" bevat
o.a. een Steff Da

en overtrof het succes van alle voorgaande singles. Hitfacts:
“Dancesmash” (Radio 538), “Grandslam” (Slam!FM), #26 (Top 100), #37 (Top 40) en playlisted op:

Naast de vele optredens in binnen en buitenland bracht Roy
de afgelopen periode veel tijd door in de studio waar hij werkte aan een
nieuwe productie. Dit alles resulteerde in de nieuwe single
“Midnight Sun”, die de ultieme mix is tussen Club Trance en
Electro. Armin van Buuren heeft de Divini & Warning Mix

Kantana, Ron van den Beuken en Cor Fijneman steunen de plaat. Sinds vandaag is “Midnight Sun” playlisted op
