DHT- Listen To Your Heart

I'm sure a lot of you will kno this track. It's one of the most classic dance tracks. I decided to post this song coz I stumbled over some prettty interesting stuff about it.

First of all the...band...no duo...no, uh group(gah band is not the right word, nor artist...i keep wanting to use the word band with all these groups...) consists of 2 singers Edmée Daenen (she's like 2 years older than...uh.. me, so she was 15 when she joined) and Flor Theeuwes who is also known as MC Jerky along with two other DJs: DJ Base and DJ Malone. DHT originally stood for Danger Hardcore Team (uh, interesting choice of name) but later changed to Dance House Trance (btw they're Belgian). They are most famous for the cover hit "Listen to Your Heart" which was originally by Roxette. When Edmée joined, the image of the group also changed from an underground happy hardcore (yes happy hardcore is a type of techno apparently, go figure...) music to a pop image which was more widely accepted by radio stations. There's also more that goes on with the image change, but i'll spare u guys of the info, which u can find elsewhere. But here's the original graphic that DHT took on when they were Danger Hardcore Team (right). In comparison check out their present website (link above).

On top of that...did u kno this song was used in the commercials for Czech Civic Forum elections in 1989? (...which then lead to collaspe of Communism....kinda...u can read up on it on wiki) LOL, yea the original goes way back baby!

Anyways my favorite mix of this particular song is by DHT and it's the Edmee's Unplugged Vocal Edit. So here it is =] ('I Go Crazy' is really good too...by DHT again..)
