SHOKK/Flutlicht - have they lost their way?

What a quiet year it has been for these two (ex?) outstanding producers.

Last year saw the best hard trance tracks I've ever heard, whether they were originals or remixes - Altitude, First Impression, Icarus, Alone With Me, Teardrops, Ignition, Excelsis, and of course Isn't It All A Little Strange ...

...and this year - practically nothing. Well, apart from the non-event that was "My maddness...", which slightly saved face with the Marcel Woods remix. The Flutlicht b2b shokk live on HQ XL radio 18-10-03 is.. well.... crap. It's nothing at all like what I remember

I used to dream about seeing SHOKK/Flutlicht play live - but now, gimme Wag or Yakooza any day.

Thoughts? :/

I thought SHOKK was takin a break from the EDM scene not too sure about that tho

can someone else confirm?

Also im not too sure about Flutlicht either.



haha well im a big help here aren't I?

1 half of flutlicht has taken a break from EDM and the other half just dj's live

dunno bout shokk tho.

flutlicht have the talent,their just not putting it into practice...

Marco who was half of both producing wise has indeed taken a hiatus which is why there's nothing new, Dani Djs as flutlicht & Claudio as SHOKK but with a lack of decent hard stuff to play now (Dave 202 etc being the only wank out) they've had to play softer

Sux to be us dont it m8 , im missing it so bad as well as are a lot of people here you see a thread every now and then saying "Whats happened to hard trance" there hasnt been any top notch Flutlicht/S.h.o.k.k. style hard trance in a while and it sux but we have to deal thats my opinion anyways.

And i thought that set was fucken impressive great tune selection especially , cold nights and expander

reverb is taking g a break, IMO he is a fuckign genius, all genius need a rest, cladio and dani are great and soudn peopel but marco is opart 9f both projects, maybe one day he will return so totally kick hard tranc eup the arse ike he has

Exactly but i think we are all yet to see anyone come near to the mark that Flutlicht and S.h.o.k.k. where at , i dont see it happening either !

Yeah they took a brake.
They had some great tracks and some mediocre tracks
lets hope they'll be back with some new sounds

Take a look at Marco's site:

http://www.reverb-audiolab.ch/

as an avid hard trance fan, i've also been disheartened by the lack of quality hard trance released over the past year or so. but more recently though, i've found new outlets which have rekindled my undying passion for creampies errr i mean hard trance.

try:

dj josher - do you want me, a lot of good shit is comin out of the stik label.

bitch project - m-dry, 1st release out of warmduscher's new label... could fakten be our saviour? here's hopin...

mmmmmm creampie.

ooh ooh. just cause i wanna, my fave shokk/flutlicht remixes/productions are as follows (in order of how much they were sweetnuts):

1. dj energy - exelsis
2. cosmic gate - back to earth
3. dave joy - first impression
4. alex bartlett - amnesia
5. marc dawn - expander
6. dj spoke - ignition

k i could go on but they truly are mind-blowing for mine.

I'm glad there is appreciation for SHOKK's absolutely outstanding remix of Altitude, which has got to be one of the finest pieces of music ever.

My uninformed opinion is that European hard trance as a whole has taken a bit of a dive compared to the UK scene recently.

If you read the message at reverb's site, you'll find out that there will never be Flutlicht and SHOKK as we know them anymore

omg nooooooooooo!!!

Icarus was one of my favourite tunes EVER...there are countless amazing tracks produced by both Flutlicht and SHOKK, Flutlicht in particular...and now no more of the Flutlicht I know and love...

well, i guess change isn't necessarily bad, unless whatever "new" Flutlicht/SHOKK sound that appears ends up sounding like crap.

That's a shame, Flutlicht is one of my favourite producers during the last couple of years. I'll miss their remixing and producing skills.

yeah, hard trance is very scarce lately...pity. if youre looking to increase your library try adam sheridan - lektrik (adam sheridans inside out mix)...dark and bangin
