Netherlands-based DJ/production duo Maarten Hoogstraten (aka Break Mechanic, Marchand) and Paul Christian (real last name Bäumer) started releasing commercial house singles and remixes as Bingo Players in 2006, when they debuted on the German Techtone label with the Sonic Stomp EP. Over time, their pared-down sound became increasingly layered, more rush-inducing, and reliant upon clever vocal samples. Some of their more notable releases across 2010 and 2011 included “Tom’s Diner” (where they sampled the hit DNA version of the Suzanne Vega song), “When I Dip” (Freak Nasty's “Da’ Dip”), and “Cry (Just a Little)” (Brenda Russell's “Piano in the Dark”). ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
