Black Hole Recordings, 2004:Looking Back; 2005:More To Come

It has been a good year for Black Hole Recordings, off course Ti�sto has had his great events, was voted as best dj of the world again and released two albums.
But not only Ti�sto had a great year, our other acts Cor Fijneman, Mark Norman, Dj Ton T.B. and Mojado (recently signed to Black Hole) made a tremendous career move in 2004.

Cor Fijneman travelled all around the world and performed in Greece, Hong Kong, did a great performance at Space during Miami Winter Music Conference, Switzerland, Washington DC and Los Angeles (USA), Rio De Janeiro (Brasil), several gigs in the United Kingdom and most of all Holland and Belgium.
In Holland Cor Fijneman performed at all the big festivals such as Impulz, Innercity, Mysteryland and Dance Valley.
Cor Fijneman also made a huge step in Belgium where he played a one hour live set at the Belgian TMF Awards and produced the official theme for the Award show.
Besides that Cor Fijneman performed at the major festivals in Belgium like Illusion At The Beach and RE:Activate in Antwerp.
He also released many singles in 2004; Healing with the vocals of Anita Kelsey, Don�t Break My Heart featuring the vocals of ex 2-Unlimited singer Romy (this was the official theme of the TMF Awards in Belgium) and Hot Wired/Fuzz Ball under his dark alter ego Silence The Sneak.

yea there looks to be a real bias in their ranking. im not saying that TA is the end of all rankings, but how can mark norman seriously have three of his productions in his top 10 where as we only have one of his in our voting (and its not moving on)?
