ID:	3409
Name:	Quazar
Real Name:	MG = "Magic" Gert Van Veen & Eric Cycle
Profile:	Quazar from Utrecht / Amsterdam, the Netherlands innitially consisted of Gert van Veen and Eric Cycle. Both had played in a band before, but they were not all that succesful in those days. In 1989 van Veen was a musicjournalist for a national newspaper, "de Volkskrant". He wrote some articles about "The new dance craze" Toghether with the famous resident-Dj of "the Roxy" in Amsterdam, Eddy Declerq, he produced "Pay the piper" (projectname = A-men). It is generally argued to be the first dutch houserecord, although Peter Slaghuis from Rotterdam was a pioneer too. Cycle, van Veen and Declerq had their fisrt underground hit with "Dish & Tell" as "House of Venus", part of which was sampled by Prince. The first Quazar record was "Seven stars". I was picked up by a broad audience even mellow-oriented DJ's played it, but it is definitely milestone for hard (euro) techno. The second release (Here & Now) is also quite experimental. It features an intro by Urban Dance Squad guitarplayer "Tres Manos". The remix edition features the often underestimated slighty melodic technotune "midsummernightsdream". Quazar rose to "world fame in the Netherlands", when they featured the classic documentary "House gewoon uit je dak" in the "Impact" series by VARA-television, the Netherlands. They even managed to penetrate the booming market for (album) CD's. Their outstanding first album "The seven stars" sold well over 10.000 copies. Later atempts were made to appeal to a more general audience. Their tracks became more "song"-like. The vocals (by Farida Melville) got more emphasis. Unfortunately things didn't quite work out for them. Gert van Veen still uses the name "Quazar" for his projects.
