Their management team organise a european tour who will take all the principal towns from Europe, and near to them will be other artists like: David Hasselhoff , Twenty 4 Seven and 2Unlimited who confirmed that will be in that tour.
Yesterday had the first meeting with ducth press sharing the news, and on Vengaboys website will be posted the dates of their tour.
Vengaboys are best known after their hits Up and down, We like to party, Boom boom boom, We're going to Ibiza, Sha la la. On may 2001 they receive an award for the best sealing dance artist on World music Awards.
My next interview that i made for you, is with a wonderful artist - Simone Denny. For many of you known from dance project Love Inc. And i hope you're enjoying reading.
Simone was Love inc your first dance project ?
B.K.S was my 1st project in the Dance genre. The 1st track I recorded with them was Dreamcatcher. It earned a nomination for a Canadian Juno Award.
How did you meet Love inc team ?
At that time I used to do a lot of session work. One of the sessions I did was for an A&R of one of the record companies and he referred me to Greg Kavanagh ( The K in B.K.S) I knew their music but I had never sung dance music before. Dreamcatcher was my 1st Vocal session in Dance Music.
The rest is history.It lead to me become the main vocalist for one of Canada's major dance acts ahead of its time. I was featured on a few other B.K.S hits and toured Canada with them. From there I went on to be the vocalist for Love Inc.
Everyone are saying that, the dance music genre is not the genre who can express feelings, but you are the one who prove that were wrong, in Homeless and Why Don't You Take me, can you tell us what is the story behind that those tracks ?
I'd have to disagree with anyone who thinks dance music is not an expressive genre. It's very expressive. It creates expansive emotions through lyrics and music. I love the positive lyrics, the high energy and the climatic dramatic drops. For me, dance music is letting yourself be free to unite with others. Its a also a very artistic and creative genre. Homeless was a hopeful track to bring awareness to the problem in the inner-city streets. Anyone world wide in any major city has seen it at some point. Why Don't You Take Me was a remake that we like and wanted to bring back.
What do you of this called "divas" (Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian) who are taken the headlines of newspapers leaving behind the real artists ? Are those the nowadays models ?
Music Divas for me are women who exemplify exceptional strength, confidence, immense talent to the world. For example, Tina Turner. She exudes such determination a woman who surpassed and defeated all odds in both personal and professional circumstances. As for women like Paris Hilton, and Kim Kardashian they are Divas in their own right. They are not music Divas but their foundation is of a business background. Both those ladies are business women they have created a reality TV phenomenon. I don't believe they have left behind "real artists" they satisfy their fans and niche of the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry covers a wide scope. It includes Music, sports ,fashion,art and reality TV. Lots of variety and room for everyone.
Isn't the fault of the press that are promoting this kind of people ?
The press always has a way of sometimes manipulating the artist or entertainer, in fact whatever story they can dig into and it creates a bigger story along the way, the better for the media. But, its not the press who promotes them, its their team, entourage, and themselves. The media just projects them in their own manner, so it doesn't necessarily represent who they really are.
What genre of music defines Simone Denny as an artist ?
Growing up in Toronto my parents played 50's, 60's music and 70's 80's RnB /Soul & Disco. My vocal teacher was an opera singer and a Broadway Diva. I've sung in an American gospel musical, I was a the vocalist in a Juno winning hip hop/RnB group for a period of time, progressed to dance music in which thus far have captured the most worldwide success. Opened for Gwar with a Canadian Metal band called Damn 13. I've done a little of everything! My new project with Stereo Dynamite is more defined as retro Soul. I am really excited about it! It taps into so many sides of me musically. If I must define myself Simone Denny is as a soulful artist who loves any genre my voice lends itself to and is always open to all music.
Europe market is more receptive to dance music then US?
I do agree. Europe had always been far more receptive to dance music. Dance music in the forms of trance, house, progressive house dominated Europe, and with the lights of David Guetta, Calvin Harris who partnered with people like Rihanna, Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland. They were able to incorporate dance into commercial main stream to bring the genre back and more dominant in the US market. For us in Canada, Deadmau5 dominated our charts with his eclectic dance sound where he brought a new element of dance this past decade.
You collaborate with many dance projects among the years which one was your favorite and why ?
I would have to say my most favorable was to work with people like the multi talented Mc Flipside who is a complete pleasure to work with, a house dj/producer/rapper/songwriter who exhibits such humility. Its all about the music with him. Andy Reid and Cory Bradshaw amazing! Phenomenal collaborations with the both of them, they are also the nicest guys and have such passion and drive for the music. Cory Bradshaw aka James Bradshaw knows my voice inside out. I've recoded with him for years and he always brings out the best in me. I have so much fun recording with Cory. I would have to say "You're a Superstar' was my all time favorite track to sing. Such a positive message and and all around feel good song. No matter where I travel its always a pleasure to perform it!
How was 2013 for Simone Denny ?
It was a fabulous year! Collaborating with Adam Sewell and Justin Allen McWilliams from Stereo Dynamyte has been an incredible experience for me.
Tell me a little bit of your project ?
This project is one that will feed the soul on another level. Still powerful and still soulful still full of passion as I do with all of my other projects. My inspiration of of course the soul music greats and icons. The song has been receiving great reviews and we are super excited to release the full album.
Who wrote the tracks and why you choose that style ?
Adam Sewell and Justin Allen McWilliams wrote the 1st single. We are currently recording and writing the rest of the album. I've known Adam for years. When he called and explained the concept of the project and asked if I'd be interested in being a part of it I said yes as it tapped right into a style that I grew up singing.

+2NE1 the Korean brandare back with a new single All or nothing and the promotion of the video is already done and release on principal social networks. I admire all korean thinks because are made with responsibility and everything must be perfect. The same think happen with german projects in 90's and the management were criticizes because of their aggressiveness, exactly like in army.
But if you want to succeed you must do like the book and +2NE1 is doing in their next single All or nothing four aliens girls trying to conquer the earth.
Let;s hope that will be more successful then Missing you and will have success like Falling in love and I am the best.
For many eurodance artists it seems that time has stopped and has no effect over them. Many singers remained the same young and beautiful like their first launch in this industry, and one of them is Plavka (The Shamen and Jam & Spoon lead singer) who shared on a famous social pictures with her .
With sunglasses, and her beautiful smile is till broken hearts, even now, and is not the only lady. Sabrina Salerno, Liza Da Costa, Melody Castellari, Dhany, Terri B! or TSeven are other singers, that time for them is just a guy who can be tricked! :)

When you are alone you really get to see life so clearly. When you are alone you get to have this one on one with God that is pure and not disturbed by others around you. When you are alone you get to take care of yourself in such a nurturing way. When you are alone you get to laugh out loud at something and not be judged at what your laughing at. When you are alone you get to eat in peace and not worry about having a conversation with someone. I am alone I am not in a relationship I am in love with what God has done for my life and I am building my relationship with God in such a mighty way so when the right man does come along I will know God sent him . Not the damn devil.. How will I know I will feel Gods love coming from him I will feel a calmness in my spirit I will feel a trust like never before I will feel a quite peace inside my heart and it will be clear God did this not man but God......#meditateonthatsingleladies

Stay C Seedorfis known as the rapper of dutch eurodance project Twenty 4 Seven who this year is celebrating 25 years from their first release acording to producer Ruud van Rijen.
I don't know if is a coincidence the release of Stay C book - State of mind . Asked what this means for him, the rapper expalined:
As you may know, I train and coach artist and other
creative people in mindset. I also lecture this at a couple of fairs and
festivals like Amsterdam Dance Event and Dancefair. This book is also
about the Mindset, but then for people in general, for every kind of
branche or kind of work. Also in private life it is important that you
have a state of mind that serves you. Nothing is what it is, it is what
meaning you give it. Many people have a state of mind that makes them
angry, or sad, insecure, afraid, or traumatized for a big part of their
life. Just the awareness of the fact that we all decide ourselves what
our reality looks like, can make a big difference.
The book is already release in Holland and can be pre order here , and soon will be released in english too. For more infos check his page www.stay-cmusic.com

The hole maskared is posted on youtube were Jacky was invited as Culture Beat at Zilele "Maramuresului".
Tania answered to fan who was there an enjoyed the performance of Jacky but not of the rapper.
Fan: This was excellent..hearing them live
Tania Evans: They are fakers and using my vocals, it pales in compare the real
artists.He could have got a good singer/artist in to continue and keep
the quality..
Fan : They are not Tania and Jay but there is no one left to the eurodance fans and Jacky is not bad at all..you know the rest...i mean the rapper(he is awfully....bad)
I really don't why she try to hit the singer who never talked bad about Tania and she never sung over her vocals because i was there too and i heard Jacky performing live.
If Tania has problem she must talk with Culture Beat manager and not hitting a singer who never met her and who has a contract with Tania's ex manager Frank Fenslau.
