D‑Passion (Rik Gieling) was born 25–07–1982 in Hoorn (The Netherlands) and started producing in 1998. After some advice from Sebastian Hoff (DJ Promo) he released his first vinyls on the TTM label. These productions had a new sound but were also party orientated (thinking of 'Fuck the free world').

After two rough sounding releases it was time to do something different, so D‑Passion signed for the second Industrial Movement release. The tracks: Blacklist Amok and Kind of rude were featured on this release. The productions on IM 002 sound mechanical and 'fresh'.

D‑Passion’s tracks are already included on lots of wellknown hardcore compilations. Also as a DJ D‑Passion is doing really well, he is regularly booked for large parties in Holland, as well as other countries around the globe.
