I would like to see any of you try to produce something that has even half as much energy that a DuMonde song contains. Many of you will bash the hell out of DuMonde saying that their shit is "boring" and "all the same" yet I doubt that 50% of you have even heard a DuMonde tune in a club.

Energy means different things to different people, personally, I find Dimension 5's work to be the most energetic trance I've ever heard. I would love to hear that in a club, unfortunately not many clubs play trance, and even less play goatrance.

why does everyone that is trying to defend dumonde come up with the argument: do it better yourself, well that ain't no argument at all,
i said that dumonde hasn't been good this year (imo, = opinion ) but i'll never say that they didn't deserve to be "famous"/well-known for making energetic trance.. but i'll say this: they better come up with some new kind of tune because another "look a like but never coming close never look back"-tune would for me be evendence that they have lost it!

to be fair we heard pretty much all of their tunes in that one night

As much as I like Dumonde, it's been a while since I completely lurved any of their works...

As for their bassline, they are their weakest link IMO...

Ussually it's either the offbeat an overused one (Can U Dig It? , Never Look Back) or the double offbeat which sometimes sound really disharmonic to me IE The Theme ...

They have power, they have energy, to me they don't really have atmosphere (it isn't really needed) , but for the past year, they miss brilliance.

Originally posted by Verona^My listen to Astral Projection - Chaos / Technodrome, or any number of tunes by Astrix (on the Eye to Eye album) I find these basslines to be powerful & energetic. As a side, I would like to apologize for earlier, I was a bit harsh, I respect Dumonde's work, even if I cant stand it.

Well, first thank you for respecting our work, man!

Generally speaking, we try to do the music for ourselves first, if the people like it they like it - fine , if they don't like it... then they won't buy it, easy game.
But we sell so many copies on our own label F8T Records, that something must be right with our tracks (in the view of the people out there).
And yes we are doing these tunes to play them in a club and not on the computer. If we spin for example a set of 2-3 hours, we use to start softer and then build it to the climax in the end... which is to play our own tracks. The last 30-40 minutes of our sets are always our own tracks, productions or new remixes. The last 30-40 minutes are always the best minutes of the whole set time! Everytime the people go crazy... can't really tell you why... must have to do with the choice of tracks...

But anyway, I also respect if someone doesn't like our music, the world is so big...

regards,

Dominik de Leon of DuMonde

Wow!!!! Can it be? (Can you dig it! )



EDIT: In any case I definitely agree with you - some people like certain kinds of music and others don't. What's wrong is when people start imposing their ideas on others. If it wasn't for that, I can't fathom how, on a messageboard, any sort of flame war could ever start (or how disagreements could ever begin, anywhere).

Allow me to officially beg you to release a full version of your remix of ELT - Rescue Me. I would be willing to way upwards of $200 USD for this.

Also, personally I'd like to see you concentrate on your harder style i.e. Never Look Back, Missed Beat rmx, etc. It just seems to have so much more energy.

Woohoo!

that someone from dumonde comes here is great but that doesn't mean for me that my opinion has changed, i would like to see something new from these two producers, they have done good in the past let them do something new and not something i've seen them so a couple of times..
