1996 Happymen – Love Is You
In 1992 the first meeting with Max Moroldo at Logic Studios in Milan took place, where Nathalie Aarts was working full-time as a Studio Manager. This lead to a long-time future collaboration and a lot of productions together with, for and on the Do It Yourself label.
In 1993 the idea of Happymen was created, by Max Moroldo, Rossano Prini and Fabrizio Mascheroni and Nathalie was asked to sing the very first single on the label Do It Yourself (which in 1995 became a very successful record label!).
This first single was titled “Are You Ready” and was released in 1994 (on vinyl). “So Lonely” was the extra track on the b-side. Arranged and mixed by Happymen with Roberto Zucchini and Marcello Catalano at Gianburrasca Studio (Milano-Italy).
The track became a success and was licenced to many countries then afterwards.
After a few years, in 1996, when Do It Yourself had already officially become a record company, Happymen decided to create a follow up, this time with the help of Gianluca Mensi and again with Nathalie on vocals! The song is called “Love Is You” and was written by the same team and created by M2 (Moroldo & Mensi) at M2 studio (Valenza-Italy). With the collaboration of the Stunned Guys (Maxx Monopoli & Giangy Rossi) who created the “The Stunned Guys Hardcore Mix”.
Released on vinyl and cd-single and this time a video-clip was created of the Radio (“Happy”) Version, which was different than the “progressive mix” that was heard on the Italian radio stations, but preferred by the other countries (The Netherlands – Babyboom Records, Germany – Orbit Records, Spain – Contrasena Records, ecc.).
1996 is also the year where Nathalie started working full-time for the Do It Yourself Record Label at the Licensing Department.
In 2004, after 8 years and inspired by the movie “The Lord Of The Rings”, Stefano Mattara and Paolo Gasparin (also the male voice in the song) wrote the song “Tesoro”, which was again interpreted by Nathalie, her first time singing a song completely in Italian! The beautiful voice of the narrator was G. Zani. Released on vinyl and produced in DM studios (Padova-Italy).
You might not always be able to recognise Nathalie in the various video clips of songs that were produced, that is because she has always chosen not to be identified, to enable her to continue interpreting all her other music projects.
