Massive piece of my childhood. The Kiss 100 dance chart was a highlight of my week and it felt like Waterfall was in it for months, whatever the reality. It's so euphoric and like nothing else.
Hi! Ben Liebrand shared on Facebook your video with Maxi Jazz, and i instantly watched it, and also watched the other videos. I think you are doing a excellent job providing us with some insights that otherwise can't be found on the internet. As an active DJ who is playing music for 30 years, i'm grateful for all that .I wish you grow big on RUclips. Also i subbed :) and.. keep them coming :D
Thank you Gio! And thanks to your message I found out Ben also shared it, how nice, he's such a great guy! And thank you for the kind words, I started this because I'm very passionate about music as you might have noticed hehe ;-) So some people told me I should start a music vlog. I had no experience with video editing or vlogging in general, so it took a while to get things the way I wanted. I'm still not a pro, but I hope people enjoy the content, since I think that is what matters most ;-) I'm happy with everybody who is commenting and subscribing, that keeps me motivated! And of course all people that agree to let me interview them, so we all can find out more about their tracks :)
Thanks Jack! And yes, I think this is the first / only video interview of them together, so I'm very happy I managed to speak to them together. And what a track right??
Waterfall was literally a trance track back in time, and yes it was huge. Every ''trance'' dj's was playing it. I never liked it so much though, so i was getting tired of being played again and again back in time. I'm not into trance music. Now due to this interview, i'm hearing their second single ''Body In Motion'' for the first time, and what a fantastic track is this! It's completely different than ''waterfall''. ''Body in motion'' is a house/euro house jam highly uplifting and energetic track, and i cannot forgive myself that i didn't know it before. I need this ''Body in motion'' track on 12''vinyl. So i really thank you for this interview that made me discover ''Body in motion'' track.
Such down to earth guys. never had any arrogance in them. Especially Rene has had a BIG influence in my career. I very well remember how Rene was putting last tweaks on the high pitched organ sound of Waterfall gheghe. Great interview!
I agree, both super nice guys! Really enjoyed listening to them and hear them share the story behind this great classic! And than you, glad you enjoyed the interview!
hi I live near monaghan and I used to go clubbing in the hillgrove Hotel and the used to play this tune every Saturday night it takes back some good memories and even to day I love the tune and I play it for my sisters young ones and the don't like it it sad the way the music has changed red five life me up was a other good tune the used to play aswell in the club fair play to you guys for makeing so nice of music it just takes me all the way to the top ❤❤
I remember when this came out here in the UK it flew off the shelves one guy bought 3 copies in one go I saw 7 copies sell in 2 minutes of me standing there but I agree its a very unique release nothing sounds like it even at that time I miss the days of buying new CD releases from Netherlands every Monday..
It’s unique alright. I’m 34 and It sounds as fresh as the day it was released. Timeless classic, it gets played wherever I go in the world and always gets me i the mood all these years on. A masterpiece, Amen 🙌🏼
I was about 11 or 12 when I heard it first time at my older cousins house and it got me instantly into electronic music. I also loved the clip which I could watch at VIVA's "Housefrau" show with Mate Galic.
Thank you! A great track indeed, but there wasn't much to find about it online, so because of the 25th anniversary, I thought it would be a good idea to ask Lex and René if they wanted to tell more about this classic. Glad you liked it, thank you!
A brilliant interview - thanks! I remember when this track was released in the UK as I had an acquaintance with the 3 guys who made the video for Waterfall much of it was a telecine conversion of Super-8 film footage. I have fond memories of that era. Atlantic Ocean project - thanks 😀
@@muzikxpress I was working in the television production/post-production industry in central London/SoHo in the early 90’s. 2 of the 3 guys from the production team who made the video for Waterfall had previously worked as creatives for a very well-known London/West-End advertising agency they left to start their own production company. Waterfall was one of their productions. London’s SoHo was, at that time, home to numerous television & film production & post-production companies & freelancers.
I was giving it large to this tune on the dance floors of The Dome, Snobs and Liberty’s in Birmingham after first sinking a few pints of larger at 50p a pint at Central Park...
Amazing to see this. I bought the CDM as soon as it was available in Sweden, and was totally in love with this song as well as the music video. To me, this song will always be associated with dolphins. If I see a dolphin, I hear "Waterfall" inside my head.
Remember hearing this in 1993 when I was a kid and remember when trying to ID it years later well before RUclips I described it from memory in a record shop and they said it was this tune. I promptly ordered it on vinyl and went to collect it the next weekend :) Such a summer tune!
This track is a DJs dream when it comes to mixing. I remember when Mark Goodier from BBC Radio 1 had a section on his radio show called In The Mix. This track used a lot however the beat they used it could mix with most tracks. It appears on the In The Mix 90s hits CD compilation the end of the tune is mixed with Pulps Disco 2000 (Motiv8 mix). The mix of the two tracks lasts for over a minute. It’s one of my favourites.
Ross Patzelt thank you! He is on my wish list for a while already, but he hasn’t been to The Netherlands in a while unfortunately. But when he does, I’ll ask and hope he is up for it, so fingers crossed!
I wish, I love that track! But they're not living anywhere close to me or perform in The Netherlands ever... But more important, I know at least 2 of the 3 producers don't speak English and I'm not 100% sure if the other one does :( So that all makes it pretty much impossible unfortunately :( And one of them is also behind "Age Of Love", so that would have been an amazing one as well....
Contacted 1 of them not too long ago, so let's see if it is gonna happen ;-) If people say yes, I also need to find time for the interview appointment since I'm working 2 jobs and I'm usually only free in the weekends.
@@muzikxpress It's funny that I'm not the only person who'd be interested in seeing Doop, although it's at the top of the league of cheesey hits I still love it, nostalgia gets me every time!
Im guessing it is partly because of the equipment used back then. Now you can edit forever, with an endless amount of samples and sounds. But maybe back then you only had 'this' many of options, and it wasn't as "drag and drop" easy as now. So you had a way different workflow.
muzikxpress yep Netherlands capital of trance music. Do you think you could do an interview or try to do one with hiver and hammer? Haven't heard from them in years
@@trancemaster871 I would love that, but I don't have a travel budget for these vlogs; so I can only do interviews with people that live close to me (south of The Netherlands), or people that have gigs close to where I live. Second problem, I've heard H&H don't work together anymore, I'm not sure if they are on speaking terms even, so yeah..... gonna be a hard one .... But.... I have a LOT of stuff coming up in the next few months, so I'm sure there will be some you like ;-)
muzikxpress nevermind just always wanted to hear what they had to say about the trance genre as there legends of the scene. So I suppose a bit like Smith and pledger they went separate ways... I'd be up for a ronski speed interview definitely and signum...these interviews are amazing by the way so much information on legendary tracks from the past love hearing about them... 👍
@@trancemaster871 Ronski Speed is also living in Germany, far from where I live.... I'm in touch with Ron from Signum though for a possible interview somewhere in 2020 (my posting schedule is full already with 1 vlog per week until the end of February!), so hopefully he will say "yes" ;-) Fingers crossed!
Oh trust me, I would LOVE to speak to Vincent De Moor. When I was working for Trance.nu, I did speak to him once for like 5 minutes. I met Vincent at the release party of Armin van Buuren's "76" album at Club Asta in The Hague. He agreed on doing an interview for Trance.nu, but .... that never did happen.... I tried to contact him again later, but... nothing :( It seems he completely disappeared from the music scene. He never did a single interview.... So yeah, I would love to speak to him, even if it is just for 10 minutes. I hope he's doing well and I hope he knows that many people all around the world still love his music a lot.
I,m not even a Dance music fan. I have always hated Disco, House etc but Waterfall is so much more than just a Dance tune. It's an instrumental masterpiece almost by accident and it's gorgeous. The only other tunes of this type that compare is Van McCoy's the Hustle and the Goodmens Give it up....both stunning Tunes that totally transcend their so called genre,s and are so much more that Dance or Disco.
you caught my eye for being a cutie. 👀 but i like even more how you're providing the history behind a lot of tracks/artists i grew up with. maybe some hands up, hardstyle will appear in the future too? 😏
Man, what you're doing is amazing! Keep those interviews coming. :)
Thank you Antonis!
Echt hè! Maar nieuws # geweldig
One of my favorite dance tracks of my youth. Fast, hard, melancolic and dreamy. So unique and timeless.
amazing song i only just discovered the ID of this after hearing it 100's of times on the radio! one of the best things ive ever heard :)
When I heard this track i was instantly hooked on it. It has and will always will be my favourite track.
Atlantic Ocean - Waterfall. So many memorable moments around early 1994. There was pure happiness on the dance floor, in the club - magic! 😍
Massive piece of my childhood. The Kiss 100 dance chart was a highlight of my week and it felt like Waterfall was in it for months, whatever the reality. It's so euphoric and like nothing else.
just want to say that music will never die ❤
Waterfall..... such a huge part of my life
What a fantastic tune... the start of it all
Thank you so very very much 100% 👍
Thanks for your comment, hope you enjoyed the vlog and interview! :)
Yeah, nothing ever sounded anything like it. Totally original.
A icon! Like in the beginning in the house muziek 😎
90s what a great time to grow up!! Sound of our youth
I've been searching for this track for over two decades ! Best song ever! Thank you very much for the interview !
Thank you Max, glad you enjoyed it!!
I am so sad that I can't find the original on spotify, truly a euphoric experience listening to Waterfall.
These interviews are awesome. So many and they always focus on well-selected tracks!
Thank you very much for the kind words! Always happy when people do appreciate my work. Thanks a lot!!
Old but gold!😍
My childhood song in 1994 thanks for them.
What a tune. Classic.
Really interesting, nice guys. Two hours?!? Awesome.

Always reminds me of been a kid in the 90s❤
Daaamn this track! Amazing memories, I was only starting to go to gigs age 14 back then. Great times!
Ahh! Memories! Remember listening to that specific tune as a child and loving it instantly! Amazing you got to speak with the guys behind it!
Thanks Jack! And yes, I think this is the first / only video interview of them together, so I'm very happy I managed to speak to them together. And what a track right??

This track always makes me happy and was the reason I started to love dance music. Thanks for your interviews, so many tracks I'm in love.
Thanks so much!

I was about 11 or 12 when I heard it first time at my older cousins house and it got me instantly into electronic music. I also loved the clip which I could watch at VIVA's "Housefrau" show with Mate Galic.
William Röttger of Lowspirit Recordings in Berlin once told me in 94 he had an eye on that Great Song about a possible licensing Deal 👌
Hello MuzikXpress, A record that was requested many times When I use to broadcast on the FM dial back in 1994. Great track, Good video ! Thank you !

Great! Thanks for uploading.
Thank you!!
@@muzikxpress no! Thank you 🙏
Great channel love all the interviews 👍
Thank you very much!!
Great interview! And wow, never knew they were all right around the corner from where I lived 😂

@@muzikxpress I said it sounded like some waterfall, came out around 1993 lol 😂 that was it the guy knew what I meant.
Actually, it was on most compilations in that era.
Waterfall! LOVE!!! 😍😍😍
Legends
brilliant! i've always wondered who are behind music like this and where are they now
Hope you enjoyed it! I have some more stuff in the works for later this year with people who hardly ever do interviews 😉
@@muzikxpress thankyou💙
great interviews!
Thank you! Got some more great names confirmed for the next few weeks! :)
MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR WATERFALL
What a track right???
@@muzikxpress Got lost in this track many times in the 90s era Awesome
Leuk interview!! So 20 years later I find out that both gentlemen also made The Morphanage - Your Mind which I have on maxi cd for all those years :)
Dank je! And correct, that's another of their many collabs! :)
Great interview! Thank you for doing this. Keep up the great work!! :)

Ross Patzelt thank you! He is on my wish list for a while already, but he hasn’t been to The Netherlands in a while unfortunately. But when he does, I’ll ask and hope he is up for it, so fingers crossed!
muzikxpress I agree with Mauro but I’ve always wanted to know how him and Ricardo made ‘New Time, New Place’ ;-)
It hit all the clubs when i was working in the canary islands and was a total floor filler ❤
Freaking Dutch...You've made so much for dance music. :)
Hope you can do an interview of BBE, regarding their 1996 hit, Seven Days and One Week.
I wish, I love that track! But they're not living anywhere close to me or perform in The Netherlands ever... But more important, I know at least 2 of the 3 producers don't speak English and I'm not 100% sure if the other one does :( So that all makes it pretty much impossible unfortunately :(
And one of them is also behind "Age Of Love", so that would have been an amazing one as well....
@@muzikxpress , thanks for the reply!, Oh too bad! That track is still as fresh as ever!
Iffy Yeah it sucks, I think they only speak Italian / French. But indeed, still 2 amazing timeless classics!
Tuneage!
Absolutely love this!
I was wondering if you could do ‘Luvstruck’ by Southside spinners.
Peace
Thanks Pieter! And that one is on the wish list for 2020 ;-) Already spoke to Benjamin about it, so hopefully we can make it happen next year!

Did the new version come out?
I don't think so, so not sure what did happen tbh!
Hey man , I would very much like a ' story behind ' of those 2 guys from DOOP - DOOP . Keep up the good work !
Contacted 1 of them not too long ago, so let's see if it is gonna happen ;-) If people say yes, I also need to find time for the interview appointment since I'm working 2 jobs and I'm usually only free in the weekends.

Twan, I've noticed that all tracks spoken of in your vids are made within a few hours. Spooky coincidence?
Haha, well wait until you see the next interview ;-)
Im guessing it is partly because of the equipment used back then. Now you can edit forever, with an endless amount of samples and sounds. But maybe back then you only had 'this' many of options, and it wasn't as "drag and drop" easy as now. So you had a way different workflow.
I would love to see a video about Chestnut - Pot Of Gold.
Haha, René did a remix for that one too under his TFX alias ;-)
For some reason I always thought this track was Italian but I was wrong ha ha a masterpiece nevertheless and still sounds amazing
