The 6th of September 2002 Forest National hosted the big Brussels Is Burning party. After appearing first on vinyl, the official Brussels is Burning theme, Decoy and Roy – Inner life, is now also available on CD single.

DJ ROY, now at age 24, started his career at the age of 16. He’s a resident DJ @ Club Reflex (Friday) Belgium, Elsombrero (Saturday) Holland and Bora Bora (Sunday) Holland. His favorite music style is groove, progressive, trance and hist productions are influenced by: Robbie Rivera, Underworld, Tangerine Dream and BT

The track Innerlife is Roy’s first production. He started this project together with Decoy and producer Tim Janssens, with whom he’s currently working on other productions.

DJ Decoy (Danny van Wauwe), known from the projects The Moon and Boss@nova was born in Antwerp and is a resident DJ at Mondial (NL) and Club Reflex (B). He loves Groove, Club and Underground.

The CD Single comes with 3 different mixes, something we should see more often as getting more for the money is always nice 🙂

The CD Single starts with the required Radio Edit, as that one is needed to get airplay on the radios. This version is just a short version of the Original Extended. The Original Extended is a very nice dreamy trance track with great vocals. (Open your eyes to your inner life….)

Inner life is certainly one of the best belgian trance productions in 2002. It’s refreshing to hear something different in a year where we’ve been hearing a lot of dance remakes. (some of which were way to commercial eg. MadHouse).

The third track, the Nord Vs Bonka Mix, has a lot more hard stompin’ beat going in it, although at 2:45 there is a very beautiful soft part too. This is the version to play at the club!

Thanks to David from MOSTIKO for the review CD
