What is this??

He does appear to have dropped off the DJ map.He released that Slice Cd a while ago,but it didnt look like my cup of tea.He seemed to have the progressive world at his feet back in the days of GU12,13,14 etc but its all dried up.

Oh, and I think he has the best producer name ever - i mean all of his tracks have that FUNK element to them dont you think?

Seen him live once, he's a damn good dj..but haven't heard of him in a while either.

Pretty funny: didn't expect a 'homie' to come walking into the place with a flightcase...

Witness the career of Hollander Lucien Foort, ex-rapper turned top trance producer - not your everyday dance floor story. After making a name through his Funk Function alias, acclaimed tracks and remixes landing on albums from scene stalwarts John Digweed and Sasha, Foort got the call to put out compilations of his own. The results, import-only Singularity 1 and 2, proved quality excursions into deeper, more melodic trance, the exceptional second volume frittering between music sub-genres to earn Must Have status.

Slice via Black Hole Recordings is a clubbier, one-disc affair. It clatters along at a good clip with the occasional highlight; wounded dove Kellis swoons on "Help Me," melding into a complementary dub from Mickey Blue Eyes "Keep Me Straight." Neruda's "Alliance" bottles the foreboding mystery of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive by referencing Silencio throughout.

But most of the tunes here are either bop along forgettable fodder, or one line lyric repeated-infinitum tracks that show their cards quickly and lose appeal, such as "Deep Soul Music," We Like the Music," and "Old Skool House Musik." Fine for a dark, thrashing dance floor, pointless on the ol' stereo. As for Silk's revisit of Dead or Alive "U Spin Me," there's always the stop button.

Lucien Foort's Slice: more was expected. :?

Here's some recent news on him.

What does 2005 hold for you? Any major plans you can let us in on?

I need to produce more records you know, the traveling has taken it out of me a bit in the last year. Also I've been focused so much on doing my radio show here on National Radio here in Holland so it's one or the other, so I'll be branding the slice brand a little bit bigger, and making more records seeing as though it's going so well at the moment so I guess I'll stick with that. Oh, and play more I suppose… I'm always playing so yeah, more of what I'm doing now with a bit more structure and more recognisable to a new market like South Africa or South America and the rest of Eastern Europe like Russia and Poland.
