The story behind "Dyewitness - Observing The Earth" with Mischa van der Heiden | Muzikxpress 101

[@JonnyChaos]

Absolutely brilliant track. Have loved every version of it from the originals to the hard house versions. Played it in my bedroom when I was 12 then raved to it when I was 19.

[@garethluvsthetruth6782]

dyewitness the masterplan was my first time my ears heard hardcore! legend

[@mschroder8288]

For me that's one of the most epic tracks ever made. I still listen to it regularly and it's still giving me the chills.

[@Pantherrrr]

This is brilliant. When I was at University in Adelaide a few years ago Dyewitness came to a local nightclub. Was such an awesome night. Great energy. Surprisingly Mischa agreed to a photo at the bar afterwards. I say Surprisingly because by this time I was so damn sweaty from being in the mosh, but I had such a huge smile.

[@Vicious-Spiral]

1992 - 1993... those were such amazing times in music development, especially on the electronic spectrum!!! Nice interview AGAIN, Twan... 🥳💖 Superb!

[@euphoriaibiza]

Thanks Twan I have many good memories of this track. When clubs was real underground

[@muzikxpress]

euphoriaibiza glad you enjoyed it!!

[@mackash]

From Masterplan, to Access, to AMbassador The Fade. And everything in-between. Amazing contribution. Thank you Mischa. Thank you muzikpress

[@markmccann1]

Loved Dyewitness. Still have an album and an EP on vinyl. Would be amazing if he he made more music 🎶

[@thev.i.c7844]

i was in MR SMITHS in the UK with my best mate and this came on for the first time.. we danced our legs off ,, happy days

[@yuccafrita9583]

I remember when I first start to dj back in 1994. A record store in LA on Melrose Blvd called DMC Records. I sang this tune to them and they new exactly what it was. One of my favorite tracks!

[@GMaldonado79]

Loved this track! Thanks for putting a face behind the music.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the interview!

[@millso]

Brilliant Twan! Who would have thought the carpenters would have been sampled. Mind blown

Thank you! And I never knew either until I was doing research for this interview haha

I'm sure Mischa remembers his time in Scotland. Moist in Rosyth and the Bunker in West Calder. . 2 cracking venues!

[@justinmarkwilliams]

Thanks for the vid... loved that you played it in the background. One of my favorite hoover tracks.

[@muzikxpress]

And thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobkanorange1847]

Have just stumbled onto your kick ass channel while trying to find some old classics. I love it thankyou so much. There is not enough people looking into this era.

[@muzikxpress]

Thanks so much! I have soooo many people on my wish list still, so I hope I can keep doing this for a while hehe :)

[@hyper2high]

His studio is like the bridge off the Enterprise

[@urabelaeu5511]

First time I bought this vinyl (Spanish issue) in 1993 in Moscow, and the record-store called Discoplay.. In 1997 I used a couple of traks in my guest deejay-set on Stantsia 106,8 FM broadcast.. Later, in 1998 I sold out that vinyl, and in 2009 I ordered through Discogs the 'MID-TOWN records' 12" release.. The immortal Hardcore-Tekno release really !.. Thanks 2 Mischa & Piet for this EP !.. )

[@ingmarbuis8984]

Dye Witness observing the earth was on my Techno Trance 2 cd from 1992. I asked it as a present for my 14 th birthday to my parents. The track was not played much on the local radio stations because most older DJ's were hating it, refuse it to play. I still have my whole music collection from when I was younger. My younger brother sold his vinyl and cd collection 10 years ago, now he is in regret.

[@muzikxpress]

Techno Trance! Great compilations from Arcade! I also have them all still, so many classics :)

[@ingmarbuis8984]

@@muzikxpress 10 years ago everyone said to me. All this old House and Trance CD's, why you don't threw that rubbish away or sell it? Because it is a part of my childhood and I knew at that time that I would love to keep this CD's for the future. I was right, now my 2 daughters love to hear it!

[@muzikxpress]

@@ingmarbuis8984 good decision to keep it all! I still kept everything too! I see lots of people write they do regret selling / giving away their old CD / record collection.

I do hope this was a short part of a bigger DJ Misjah interview. I'd love to hear more about his productions with DJ Tim.

I don’t go back that far. But this is a good interview I like it. Let’s do another one.

[@mortenhn1981]

Very interesting interview, really loved it, any chance that you would do a "The story behind" Masterplan from Dyewitness ? :)

[@muzikxpress]

Morten Nielsen Thank you!

[@seeyouintheeighties]

god I love this channel twan, I do miss the 2x camera with you in it.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! And I did use 3 cameras for this one actually haha ;-) But I don't really feel the need to be in the actual interview as well to be honest. The most important to me is the person(s) that tell their stories. So you will only see me doing the intro / outro ;-)

[@JJ1979J]

Never realized he was from the same home town after I bought Trippin out last year.

[@norepetitivebeats]

Thanks for the upload. It's great hearing these stories. Very interesting that it was The Carpenters sampled in that track. Which part? Does anyone know?

[@muzikxpress]

You are welcome! And the samples are taken from the intro of "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft" ;-)

[@doyasaymore3612]

@@muzikxpress And it was actually a remix of the Carpenters, on their best of compilation!

[@norepetitivebeats]

It's odd, because I always thought that the voice was a Dutch accent speaking English, possibly Dyewitness themselves, on Observing The Earth.

[@w0lf6pack]

"What would you like to hear again" another track by Dyewitness is literally a quote from the same DJ that was also was used on OTE. Here is the original video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpalh2N7pK99j5o

I bought the record in midtown. I was even maybe next to them in the cellar (listening records to buy) when they were in the studio. Funny record, but sometimes i wish i could feel less alien.

[@iaindouglasmcwilliam8684]

The DyeWitness name story is funny!

[@leightonhay9298]

The future ep is the all time track, it's a track that is perfect, I feel the future ep had such a big influence due to the sounds in the track, the drops, the rhythm, the collaboration with Trevor riley Neil skinner aka mc cyclone the nightraver, and nd the way it was dedicated to the support from the fans in Scotland but really the hanger 13 fanatics like me, the future is still the future, dyewittness is a integral part of dance music, only if I had one more, what would you like to hear again

[@ignite137]

Potverdorie, ik heb deze track nog op een Techno trance CD, die ik als kind toen regelmatig aanschafte!

[@muzikxpress]

Haha, ja deel 2, die gele CD ;-) De eerste 2 delen (de roze) heb ik toendertijd zooooo vaak gedraaid, top CDs!

[@basalbers3900]

[@muzikxpress]

@@basalbers3900 Haha ja 4 was ook geel (met rood of roze geloof ik). Daar stond een fraaie bilpartij van een leuke dame op de cover. En deel 2 was helemaal geel en daar mochten we de voorkant van een jongedame bewonderen ;-) Ze waren goed bezig daar bij Arcade haha

[@nanodisco]

Regelmatig aanschafte? Hoeveel heb je er dan...?

[@doyasaymore3612]

Enige nadeel was dat Technotrance net als Turn up the Bass daarvoor nog wel eens knipte en editte in langere versies en zelfs Radio edits. Technotrance 2 was sowieso een hele goede CD, wellicht nog wel leuk om ook eens de verdwenen heren van Sequencial/Fiction/First Contact op te zoeken, Psychotronic, bijv. Mr. Fact! Andere nummers op Technotrance 2 waren Workoholic van 2 unlimited, Poing van RTS, Body in motion van Sadomasy en DJ One.

[@ilikethispost7826]

I was a bit dissapointed with this interview. I used to be a massive Dyewitness fan so was looking forward to some of his stories. Shame he didn't elabourate some more and go into some more detail.

[@oddioj1350]

In his defense, this was probably about 30+ years ago.. I can't remember what I did 2 weeks ago, so I'll let him slide, very long time ago.. I've had the pleasure and it was a dream come true to see him DJ years ago as Dyewitness.🙏.. He was very gracious and humble in my meeting him, true legend. The X Trax label is one of my very favorite.

[@acciid]

I'm more upset that he didn't give a shout out to the Scotland Posse.
