Jurgen Vries R.I.P
The demise of Jurgen Vries is officially imminent as DJ producer Darren Tate, who records under the name, has decided to kill him off.
Darren has had three top ten hits as Jurgen, including 'The Opera Song' with Charlotte Church, and he is hoping to make it four this Sunday with his new single 'Take My Hand'.
However, as Darren explained, after that Jurgen's future looks pretty bleak: "It will probably be the last single release for Jurgen Vries."
"I can see eyes around me going 'Don't say that!', but the truth of the matter is I have got my head somewhere else right now."
"There will be a Jurgen Vries compilation which will feature all of the hit singles, but I am now concentrating on other projects."

While I agree that it was uncalled for, this has nothing to do with TTA using his powers as a mod.
I wouldn't really class this as bad news, Jurgen Vries is probably Darren Tate's most irritating alias, the one that produces all the cheesy crap like The Theme...
Will be interesting to see how he refocuses, whether he can produce something as good as Let the Light Shine In again...

yeah, this was very good news but tbh, the theme (dumonde remix) & opera song (magik muzik mix) was quite good

Well, I just looove The Theme, it's a great song. So I'm a little sad about Darren Tate letting go his alter ego Jurgen Vries. But to be honest besides from The Theme I didn't like his songs very much. So good bye Jurgen Vries...
