The story behind '4 Strings - Take Me Away (Into The Night)' with Carlo Resoort | Muzikxpress 061

In this week's vlog you will see my interview with Carlo Resoort about the 4 Strings classic "Take Me Away (Into The Night)", which came out in 2001. It became one of the most well known vocal trance classics ever and during the day it got remixed by people such as Gabriel & Dresden, RMB, Coast To Coast, Ron van den Beuken, Purple Haze, Mac Zimms and many others!

Did you know that Vanessa, who's the face of the group, is actually not the one who did the vocals? Carlo reveals this in the interview!

And if you like this one, then also make sure to check out my other interview with Carlo, where he talks about "Carlos - The Silmarillia", a track he and Piet Bervoets did back in 1997:

Well, there is a bombshell, Vanessa Van Hemert was never the singer. Fascinating learning this stuff, but good to know no-one was treated badly. Also good to know 4 Strings and Susann are working together again. Her voice has a lovely tone!

Furthermore, please keep up the good work with these videos. They are a fantastic insight into the behind-the-scenes/back stories of dance music!

Nawet nie wiesz ile radości i wspomnień przyniosłeś w Polsce . Kochamy Cie 4 Strings ❤❤❤

[vsboy]

The most famous vocal trance song on earth

[phantasiaentertainment]

Take me away defined my youth and i still listen to it with shivers

Thank you for interviewing him.

I've always been a fall of all 4 Strings tracks. All of 'em! The vocals make the tracks sound extra good, too.

I don't typically like the 'stereotypical trance sound'. The epic breakdown isn't my cup of tea; at all.

But 4 Strings's trance sound will always sound good to me. I've always been into a melodic progressive house kinda sound, ex: classic Markus Schulz. But I can hear those influences in 4 Strings, too.

Thanks again!

It's great to hear your interviews in 'english' thank you from the Uk

[muzikxpress]

I also did an interview with Carlo about his classic "Carlos - The Silmarillia", which he did together with Piet Bervoets (from Rank 1). Make sure to check that one as well ;-)

Great one again, Twan! He never told me abt the vocalist, super cool he just shares that straight up.
I was blasting this track right after its release non stop in my car just after I got my drivers license. Carlo is such a cool and humble guy!! and not to forget talented af.

[AvertedVision]

love this song. From stringer to take me away.

[emphatic]

It's really amazing what kind of wizardry the artists had to do back in the day, an ATARI 1040, a synth and a sampler. OMG!

[eeka_droid]

Great journalist job! Loved to know more about the band and the songs, thank you!

[illin]

This was my favorite song when I was in college. So cool to hear the backstory! Never knew he was also behind Madeline's "Beautiful Child".

[Doctorbasss]

Old Behringer DSP 8024 behind on the desk!

[charlessomerset]

I've noticed that the Dutch pronounce the word "idea" as I.D. It was confusing at first because of unknown tracks being listed as I.D. So funny. Thanks for this, Twan. It's amazing to me the number of artists you've gotten access to, but putting faces to tracks I've loved for decades is so satisfying.

[davidrichards]

Still as good today as the first time I heard it!!

[wowerman]

Good to see artists still being active producing.
"Take me away" is for sure one of most recognisable track.
Thanks for interview!

[nuvisionprinting]

Take me away & diving are up there as my all time fave tracks!

[Erika-yifj]

I love his song. It's very emotional in a unique way. Makes me think of something you've been waiting for for a long time

[Filmpjes]

Damn, now I understand why Vanessa van Hemert kinda 'left' the trance scene. Still love all the classic vocal tunes

[Vissepisse]

Thank you Carlos - My fav is "Let It Rain" - it will forever stay close to me.
(Leonety Ambient Mix) is pure bliss
