What is your favorite track by The Space Brothers? BTW, Also make sure to check out my other interviews with the guys, in which we discuss 2 of their other big classics; The story behind "Chakra - Love Shines Through"; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMmFY9yGrtXXYXU.html The story behind "Lustral - Everytime"; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h89jqbKU17q1ZGg.html

I've always thought Heaven will come is my favourite, but I also like The Space Brothers - This Is Love (Sagitaire mix) as its only on the DMC label, cost me a fortune and is a great tune

"Legacy" because of those beautiful, haunting vocals.

shine is perhaps the better one, but legacy is my favourite...maybe because nice memories, which it always brings to me

Everywhere I go - in the PVD Dub Version, but of course the original of Shine is still outstanding and the best (but I didnt know that it was by them ;-))

These guys are behind so many classic tracks, mind is blown. They were behind "ascension - someone" too? What a banger that is. Lustral - everytime is another belter, though I have to say it's the Nalin & Kane mix that I prefer. Classic.

Well, Shine and Forgiven are the two classic dance tracks that will never, ever age! They're absolute classics, and these guys are in my opinion absolute legends! Saw then live at Baby Gatecrasher a couple of years ago and they were amazing!

Astonishing music producers with astonishing singers and such a good taste sound ! It's so sad that the singer, Erin Lordan, from the song “For a Lifetime“ died of cancer in 2005 with the age of 41. God bless her. It's one of my favourite songs of “Interpretations“ and one of the best songs of its genre. Chapeau !

@stevehenke678 4 жыл бұрын

Well I'll be dipped in shit! I never knew all those records were related, so to speak. I remember going to my local record shop in maybe '99, when there was a new space brother tune in you didn't even have to listen to it in the shop, you just knew it was gonna be amazing.

@scottishserenity 4 жыл бұрын

Shine was the 2nd dance song which I bought. It's what got me into DJing, especially as Shine and Forgiven are at the same BMP :) I remember mixing them without doing any work and thinking "I'M A DJ!" haha. Took a few months to actually mix properly. I miss AudioJelly. It's the only place I could get Miro - By your side (rolled mix). Sent them an email thanking them as I completed my collection (at the time) and Stephen wrote back thanking me for my support. Man it made my year!

(even on their own website, there was no one single pic of them!) so thx a million for this long interview, you really made my day!! ❤️ and do you know you’re interviewing my favourite trance producers from around the world ?? carlo resoort from holland, mike from belgium and now the space bros from the uk!!! 😉

@muzikxpress 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! I met Steve at the Luminosity Beach Festival when they did a DJ gig there (first one since ages!). Since then we kept in touch so when I was going to London to see some friends, I managed to plan some interviews on the days my friends were working. The 3 interviews I did with these guys were my favorites, so much fun! I hope we're able to travel again in the near future. Once I get enough donations / funds, I would love to go back for at least one or 2 more interviews with them (and hopefully some other London based legends hehe).
