Xandee (better known as Sandy, the female singer of the pop group Touch of Joy) has blown away the competition in Eurosong 2004 with her song 1 Life. With 50 points out of 54, Xandee was the clear winner. Many people tipped Natalia (runner up at the Belgian Idols 2003 contest) as the big winner, but her song turned out to have a lot less potential then Xandee’s dance inspired track.

Indeed, this is the first time a ‘dance track’ (albeit with some ethnical influences) will be sent to the Eurovision song contest. With her great voice, outstanding performance and a song that instantly nests itself in your head, Xandee is expected to be a serious contender for the final victory. Dancevibes will certainly support Xandee and welcomes the arrival of a new dance diva …

Last week Danzel’s debut single Pump it up! entered the Flemish Ultratop charts at nr 25. A great start for Johan Waem, alias Danzel, which was one of the 20 finalists of ‘Idool 2003’ in Belgium.

Producer Jaco Van Rijswijk took the original song by the Black & White Brothers and a sample of ‘In the mix’ by Mixmaster to create a new groovy 2004 edition together with Johan

Check out the Danzel – Pump it up review!

Peter Luts updated his website www.peterluts.com with some new remixes.

Ian Van Dahl‘s single Where are you now? has been given the Peter Luts treatment. This probably means that this is the next CD Single to be expected from Ian Van Dahl (as they only make remixes for vinyl/cdsingle releases)

Also the track Long Island has been remixed into the Heliac Arena remix. (Heliac is the name of Peter’s studio)

Lô is a new project by L-Vee that started 10 months ago. While lots of people love his trancy sound (eg. Fire & Ice, Airwave), Lô is something completely different. Quoting L-Vee himself, it’s some kind of ‘futuristic-electo-pop-rock’ written, composed, produced and sung by L-Vee.

Right now enough tracks are ready for a full album. It’s however not yet certain that the album will be released as it is not easy to convince recordcompanies to invest into full albums these days. We’ve had the opportunity to listen to some short samples and were impressed!

Check out DJ Airwave site for more info! Also don’t forget to read our L-Vee interview if you haven’t done so already!
