Airscape

Airscape is a Belgian trance group composed of Sven Maes and Johan Gielen. The group also records as Svenson & Gielen. They are known for the song "L'Esperanza", but are perhaps better known for their remixes, such as Sylver's "Turn the Tide", Vengaboys' "Kiss (When the Sun Don't Shine)", Chicane's "Halcyon", and Mythos N' DJ Cosmo's "Hymn". Their remixes have a distinctive and easily recognized style; they fade in and out looped vocals, overlay simple chord patterns on a fuzzy-sounding synthesizer, and almost always cut the bass and drums about halfway through the song to bring an ostinato to the foreground before returning to the main theme. Similar elements can be found to a lesser degree in their original music as well.
In 2003, Svenson and Gielen announced they were dissolving Airscape, each going solo.
