THUMP sends its deepest condolences to family, friends, and all the fans of Paul Baumer, half of Dutch big-room duo Bingo Players. It was officially announced on Facebook yesterday that Paul had lost his battle with cancer—he had originally announced to fans that he was diagnosed with the disease back in mid-July.

Despite Paul’s condition, he continued to work in the studio while Maarten Hoogsten, his partner in the Bingos, undertook a massive tour and a residency at Hakkasan. As of press time, Maarten intends to carry on the project solo.

Here at THUMP, we’ve always enjoyed collaborating with Bingo Players and we’re deeply saddened to hear this news.

Head to the Bingo Players Facebook page to pay your respects to a true talent.
