Ron van den Beuken (RVDB) is a Dutch DJ and producer of trance and dance music. Under his own name and as Clokx he collected a run of Radio 538 Dancesmashes, from Timeless to Sunset.
In brief
The career started in the late 1990s behind other names: Feel It for 8 Hands, Keep It Up for J&R Project, then The Mystery and Shane. His own name reached a sleeve in 2003 with Timeless.
He studied at the Maastricht conservatory and began a law degree. Dance turned up almost by accident, and the club work later met his conducting background in 2008 symphony concerts.
