Dutch dj Vato Gonzalez has reached number seven in the UK top 10 with his single Badman Riddim’. He follows Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten in making an international breakthrough.

Djs are a good export product, says the Volkskrant. Exports of Dutch music have been rising for years and have now reached €64.9m, according to figures from Eurosonic, the largest European music conference. Around 40% of this comes from dance music in which the country leads the world.
Badman Riddim’ is released in the Netherlands later this week.
