Peter & Dave have killed Ian Van Dahl most of there sucess comes from there 'Trance Sound' I feel sorry for her coz she can do alot better the old producers sud take charge and put Ian Van Dahl back into there right place which is Trance. Meanwhile I have added then to my list of crap. Sylver, Milk Inc, Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo.... all used to be good now just a $10 bargan bin.
Ok, it's easy to see that Belgian dance music isn't as good and as popular as it used to be, but i wouldn't say it's crap ... i still love the latest Sylver album, Milk Inc is still doing very well (besides "Tainted Love" maybe), Ian van Dahl has proven to me with "Just A Girl" that they also are still alive ... only Lasgo dissapoints me ...
Trance is just becoming less popular, house is slowly taking over the dance scene ... real trance artists like Gabriel and Dresden, Ferry Corsten, etc. are producing a more house-trance sound ... it's not only Belgian music that's becoming less popular. For example; where's
4 Strings, where's
DJ Encore, where's
Angel City ? (yes i know that they still produce, but they are certainly not that popular anymore) Different times, different music ... the typical Belgian dance sound reached its height in 2002-2004, but now it's slowly dissapearing ... music is always changing ...
It's not that Peter and David can't produce trance ... they just don't want to. And putting Christophe and Erik in charge again ... i don't think that's the solution. Where are they ? They haven't released a thing in 3-4 years ... believe me, there's a reason.
