TOP LABELS: ID&T

TOP LABELS: ID&T 

Dutch label founded by Irfan van Ewijk, Duncan Stutterheim and Theo Lelie (= I, D & T).

It all started when these three guys organized a post-graduation house party (gabber) called "The Final Exam" in 1992 in Utrecht. After this first major success, they hosted many more events such as Thunderdome, Mystery Land, and Global Hardkor Nation. However, in the late 1990s, hardcore and gabber music lost popularity, and ID&T (which employed over 50 people at the time) decided to abandon its traditional style of music. In 1999, they organized Innercity in Amsterdam, an indoor event without hardcore music.

Over the course of a few years, the company went through some changes. In 2005, the label became the property of Be Yourself Music, which also sold its publishing house. To stay in the music industry, they founded Dance-Tunes.com, one of the largest legal download sites in the Netherlands. In January 2005, the name of the radio station ID&T Radio was changed to SLAM FM and broadcast more commercial music. A few months later it was sold to 2HMedia.

In March 2013, SFX Entertainment acquired a 75% majority stake in ID&T for $100 million. In April 2015, Duncan left ID&T.

Today, ID&T is still the main dance organizer in the Netherlands, Belgium and abroad. Some well-known events: Thunderdome, Mystery Land, Innercity, Trance Energy and Sensation.

Tom Duerden aka Sunda or Saharans is an English Trance producer who has released on such labels as Pure Trance Neon, Borderline, Lost Language, Rated Records, Resonate Together, Time Fusion and Landscapes Music. Tom shared some information about his work. I invite you to an interview conducted exclusively for Visions Of Trance. 1. What is trance music to you? Escapism; beauty; otherworldliness; connection...  2. How do you perceive the state of the current trance music scene? The current trance music scene is fascinating and diverse, with trance fusing with other genres and inspiring a younger generation of artists. I enjoy hearing various forms of trance, from the deep, dark sci-fi journeys by Pico Boulevard and Enlusion to the more upbeat, chunky bass-driven style of HAWS (label). The 140-150 bpm hypnotic trance sub-genre is also thriving, although I tend to pitch down those 150 bpm tracks a bit. The addition of deep, raw, and hypnotic trance charts on Beatport has allowed lesser...
