The ID&T label has been around for many many years now, since 1992 at least, releasing hardcore stuff in the beginning, and now trance/hardtrance.
They also organize the biggest raves in Holland (Trance Energy, Innercity, Sensation, Mysteryland etc...)

I think my thread is directed towards dutch TAs for that reason

Could someone tell me the whole history of ID-T ? How did it get started ? How did they impose the whole hardcore scene in Holland and Europe ?
What amazes me the most is how they suddenly changed their style, from hardcore and happy hardcore till 1997/98 and then very uplifting trance; that was around that time that Tiesto and Corsten became big (more like 98/99 though)

What I can't understand is how the majority of dutch ravers and clubbers swtiched from hardcore to trance like all of a sudden, following ID-T's "reconversion".
Was that ID-T's fault, or were dutch people tired of hardcore music ?


Also, many of the current biggest dutch DJs once were hardcore DJs, I got that old Bonzai Jumps vinyl from '95 the other day, DJ Yves - The Main Man, and what did i see on it !!?? That it was co-produced by Tijs Verwerst...aka DJ Tiesto !
That was a shock, hard to believe Tiesto produced awesome hardcore/happy hardcore tunes back in '95 (how old was he back then ???) and a couple of years later became Holland's trance "god".

I talked about it on the TA Hub chat with Biohasard, who also told me that Ferry Corsten used to produce hardcore tracks as well ! (under the Tellurian alias, which was pretty famous back in 94-96). As well as DJ Astrid and Michael de Hey !
That too, was a shock !

So please, someone tell me what's the whole deal, how is it possible that DJs can change their style that radically and what role played ID-T in the whole thing.

I find it kinda worrysome for trance in general, who can be considered just as a big hype, and may go down hill pretty soon

Seems like ID-T and Holland rule the techno world..or what..???



Waiting for your kind answers

Hij krijgt teveel aandacht, wordt op handen gedragen. Dat is nog niet het ergste, maar hij maakt nog teveel fouten in ze mixen. Komt nog eens bij dat zijn ASOT mixen en live performance mixen een wereld van verschil zijn, iedereen denkt dattie mixt zoals in ASOT, maar niet dus...
Hij heeft lekkere platen enzo, dat wel... maar die hoor je amper terug in ze livemixen.
En zijn mening over MP3 varieert van dag tot dag De ene keer staat tie vrolijk door de microfoon te bleren dat je je mp3encoders klaar moet houden, de andere keer rost tie bijna een gozertje in elkaar omdat hij met een CDR komt aanzetten, waarop een ASOT aflevering staat, met de vraag of Armin die wil signeren

(dit las ik ergens, weet niet of het waar of niet is, maar goed )
