UK Number 40s: Blast featuring VDC - Princes Of The Night (1994)

 


1994 was the year of eurodance. It existed before 1994 and continued after and reached a point where the lines became blurred between it and commercial trance. In terms of quantity of pure eurodance, 1994 was the year we had the most Top 40 hits.

Blast and VDC came from Italy and had 2 Top 40 hits. The first came in the summer of 1994 with "Crayzy Man" and the 2nd was this. A logical reason why this may have only made number 40 is that there's only room for 40 records and the sheer quantity of eurodance was keeping it down there. A look at the Top 40 that week though implies that wasn't the case as there wasn't that much eurodance in it. Maybe the record buying public had got sick of it.

Blast were Fabio Fiorentino and Roberto Masi. Like with a lot of Italian producers of the 90s they had another alias which was Sadomasy & DJ One plus Roberto Masi had lots of other projects. VDC stands for Vito De Canzio and he was the singer who had also sang for several other people.
