POLE FOLDER
Pole Folder started out his musical career at the age of 5, starting out by learning to
play the trumpet and guitar before later learning the art of composition that lead him to
perform within a symphony orchestra, also playing in brass ensembles on regular occasion.
As Pole Folder grew, so did his musical diversity and at the age of 15 he discovered rock
music, channelling his musical energies into rock bands.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Pole Folder soon became influenced by the thriving techno
scene being developed between clubs like Le Bocaccio and La Rocca, becoming influenced by
the electronic sounds made famous at these venues, which pushed him into a direction
utilising electronic sequencers. Ever curious, Pole wanted to push this curiosity further
and with long time friend Alain Bultot, they set up a professional studio where their
group Ragged Life was formed.
Several tracks were created, the most notable of which, “I’ll Be Right Here,”
became a massive anthem in the Belgium club scene and grabbed the attention of Sony
Records Benelux, who realising the untapped potential that Pole Folder had, signed not
only the track, but Pole himself to a publishing deal, which quickly developed into a
production role for many artists that Sony was dealing with.
Pole Folder was also in tune with the fast rising global dance scene and after
discovering the sounds of DJs Sasha and John Digweed soon moved into a deeper direction.
His first release, Apollo Vibes, was quickly signed to John Digweed’s record label,
Bedrock and since then two further singles have been released, in addition to the Moon In
A Blue Sky EP on Sunkissed Records and Protected on Mo-Do Records. Furthering his
commitment to the work Pole Folder has done over the past few years, John Digweed signed
him to an album deal as one of few artists to be given the opportunity to work on such a
project for the prestigious Bedrock label.
After almost 2 years carefully planning and working on Zero Gold, Pole Folder has
produced a concept album that not only takes us through his storied and widely influenced
past, but also into the future, as one chapter closes, and another one begins.
