B-Front is de alias van de Nederlandse hardstyle-dj en producer Bob van der Palen uit Veldhoven.
Levensloop
Op achtjarige leeftijd kwam Van der Palen in contact met muziek door een bezoek aan de studio van zijn toenmalige buurman, waarna hij op tienjarige leeftijd zelf begon te produceren.[1][2] In 2005 had Van der Palen zijn eerste release met 'Motherfucking Psycho' op 'DJs Records', gevolgd door de hit 'Lunatick' in 2006. Zijn eerste grote optreden was op Defqon.1 2008, maar zijn doorbraak was op X-Qlusive Holland 2009, dat zette hem op de kaart.[3] Van der Palen noemt DJ Zany en Michel Pollen als zijn voornaamste muzikale inspiraties en invloeden.[4]
Samen met Adaro, Frequencerz en Ran-D richtte Van der Palen in 2015 zijn eigen label op: Roughstate.
In Januari 2016 kreeg hij zijn eigen X-Qlusive in de Heineken Music Hall. "Een kroon op je werk", zoals Van der Palen het zelf omschreef.[5][6]
Van der Palen is niet alleen actief onder de naam B-Front: samen met Frequencerz maakt hij deel uit van de live-act 'B-Freqz'. Daarnaast heeft hij samen met Frontliner de live-act 'B-Frontliner', en maakt hij ook onderdeel uit van de act '2-Sidez' met Jaimy Ernste, die ook draait en produceert onder het alias 'Pulse'. In 2017 bracht B-Front zijn eerste album uit genaamd 'Beyond Reality' met tracks als Infinite, Beat the Darkness & EVP.[7]
