Critical Mass

Critical Mass was a Dutch hardcore group, formed in 1993 by [a=Ed Bout] and [a=Dave van Hasselaar]. In the mid-nineties, Critical Mass turned into a popular happy hardcore act, as ID&T records (which was at the center of hardcore at the time) wanted a live act. At the beginning both producers were the act by themselves but not much later they added the singer [a=Ludmilla Odijk] and the rapper [a=Danny Haenraets] alias MC Energy. At the end of 1995 they had a hit with "Dancin' Together". In 1996 3 big hits followed: "Burnin' Love", "Believe In The Future" and "Happy Generation". In 1997 another single followed called "Together In Dreams". In 1999 the group tried again with a trance single called "In Your Eyes", it became a clubhit. "In Your Eyes" and "Together in Dreams" (both being eurotrance tracks, and not happy hardcore) were picked up by Byte Records. But even Byte failed to make Critical Mass succeed.
