Review by Iceferno Apr 08, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
I haven't heard much by this guy yet. In fact, for the time being, my listenings of Jurgen's works have mainly consisted of extracts from the Audiojelly website. But I now see why Fire & Ice sounds the way it does. With the creativity of Airwave and the soundscape genius that is DJ Fire, who wouldn't wanna make a nice collaboration out of them!?

DJ Fire has some amazing tunes out, both solo and Fire & Ice-based. His dreamy masterpieces include (and I shall list the works of Fire & Ice too) "Himalaya", the heavenly remix of Unknown Source's "Nadjanema" and possibly the most beautiful piece of dreamy Trance that is "Let There Be Light". There's also euphoric stuff like "Heart And Mind", "Lost Emotions 2001" and "Silent Cry".

Jurgen brings you to the peak of musical dreams with many of his newer songs from 2004 onwards. The double sided "Para Siepmre / Samoa" release from Fire & Ice remains a particularly strong favourite of mine. And if you're into the kind of Cyber Trance I'm into (which, unfortunately, seems to be only selectively available) then you'll want to seek out the Fire & Ice remix of Leon Bolier's "Passionate".

You may not like all of what's here. To be honest, I'm not too keen on the Euro-sounding stuff between the late 90s and the turn of the millennium, but then again, I'm used to most artists not having much of a history who have basically started in the dreamy zone from the beginning. One thing's for sure, if you are anything like as addicted to the dreamy aspects of music as I am, you'll go nowhere before browsing these songs for yourself!!

Fire is very known in the belgian trance and hardtrance scene as being one of the greater producers. Not so much because of his own releases, but mostly because of his famous remixes and co-producing for Bonzai trance progressive and the lightning records labels. The past year, he has been a crucial artist for many new top releases by freebase, who thanks the top chartlisting to Fire's exclusive sight on the hardtrance style.
