Poing is a gabber track by the Rotterdam Termination Source released by Rotterdam Records in 1992. The song, composed by Maurice Steenbergen and Danny Scholte, features a minimalist approach: during the whole length of the track a distinctive pounding beat with a "poing" sound can be heard. The song is the first Dutch gabber track. The track topped the charts in the Netherlands and Denmark and reached number 27 in the British pop charts. There is said that Poing was kept off #1-position by the Dutch radio-DJ's and Top 40-creators, because they thought it was rubbish. That's why it peaked at #2.

Maurice Steenbergen's website is named after the track.
