Sad to hear this. As much as some of their 'newer' works don't grab me, their older stuff def. (pre 2002-2003)did rock and it's a shame to lose one of the major players out there albeit with their new less is sometimes more approach! Hope it works out well for them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to let you know, we are separating a bit from the global dance scene and will release less music under our aliases „DuMonde“ or „JamX & De Leon“ and also less music on F8T Recordings and AccessTunes.
The basic reason is the shrinking market and the weak support from the people which has lead to the situation, where we are now more concentrating on other music productions for other people and also more „music on demand productions“ for big industry companies. But still you can expect some selective DuMonde releases and DJ appearances from us during the next months, we just don’t do that much anymore, because of „see above“.
Anyway, trance music will always be our love and we hope it will grow again during the next years. And hopefully the whole music industry will „re-vitalize“ soon and become what it was 5 years ago. But that’s not in our hands but in yours, because it’s you who will decide how to support the music you love.

yeah it's a bit of a shame but like you said, they started to suck ballz circa end of 2002 anyways so not as much of a shame as it could have been =).

yeah it certainly is a shame. Dumonde are one of the all time best trance acts in my opinion. I think that they were just never promoted well enough. I saw Dumonde when they came to Hard Kandy in Melbourne a year ago, but they have always been missing from the big raves. Question is, why havn't they been included in these big events (e.g. Two Tribes, GK, Summadayze, etc), instead of only being included in the small ones.

Yeah heard this a few weeks back.
I've got some great memories of Dumonde, so it'll be sad that we wont see them round anymore.

sounds like they are having a cry like airwave did a couple of years ago
why dont they just try and diversify their music to appeal to new tastes ?

yeah well they can print trademark sounds onto new productions, but music tastes change over time and good producers will accomodate that by leading the way and being at the forefront of the genre.
