2-Trance - In My Dreams (Original mix)

At the tender age of 11 in 1998, I embarked on my musical journey alongside Jef Buter, delving into music production and giving rise to our collaborative project, 2-Trance. Over the years that followed, we dedicated ourselves tirelessly to refining our craft, striving for a professional standard as we produced and remixed tracks.

Our efforts bore fruit in early 2003 when Jef and I achieved a breakthrough victory in an online American talent show with our debut single, “2-Trance – In My Dreams.” The track garnered widespread attention, receiving extensive airplay on radio and television.

“In My Dreams” caught the interest of Woody Van Eyden, leading to its signing in 2003 with Clubbgroove Records (Germany), a label co-owned by ‘ATB.’ Renowned DJs Woody van Eyden and Alex Morph contributed an impressive remix, further enhancing the track’s allure. It became a prominent feature in the inaugural ‘ATB – The DJ (In The Mix)’ release in 2003.

By 2006, “In My Dreams” had attained global recognition with its re-release on vinyl, making waves in numerous dance charts worldwide. This success propelled 2-Trance into the limelight, garnering attention from DJs and trance enthusiasts internationally.

In early 2005, Jef and I, alongside Danish DJ and producer Michael Splint, and Spanish DJ & producer Lucas Carmona Moreno (aka LCM!), ventured into establishing our own record label, Novascape Records. From 2005 to 2007, Novascape Records released a series of highly successful trance tracks, earning international acclaim from DJs and securing regular features on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance radio shows.

In 2007, Jef and I amicably decided to part ways, each pursuing our individual musical endeavors.

Since 2005, I have been actively engaged as an independent producer and composer in various music studios, collaborating with esteemed national and international artists. This collaboration has yielded numerous chart-topping singles and albums, including an official number 1 hit and a golden record with the children’s song “Henkie – Lief Klein Konijntje!”

From 2012 onwards, I have collaborated with Theo Nabuurs (better known as Mental Theo), achieving numerous high rankings in international dance charts with our joint projects and singles. Our music has also been prominently featured as the theme for Dutch TV shows.

My projects continue to expand, drawing inspiration from life’s journey and encapsulated in new music. Alongside my wife, Sawitree, we passionately by traveling, explore the world, immersing ourselves in nature, diverse cultures, and vibrant cities. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this world, we find solace in wellness. These experiences have culminated in musical collaborations between Sawitree and me, where we infuse our life passions into our compositions. Our music resonates with listeners, earning impressive streaming numbers and placements on prestigious playlists. Additionally, our captivating travel journeys are documented through our travel journey page, offering glimpses of the beauty and serenity we encounter along the way.

Under my own name, Johan de Leeuw, I have ventured into the realm of balearic chill sound and began releasing this music in 2024. Concurrently, alongside Theo Nabuurs, we have fully immersed ourselves in techno under his alias, Theodor Nabuurs. Our techno productions are released through one of the world’s largest techno labels, Filth on Acid, led by Reinier Zonneveld.

In 2024, a new chapter unfolds as I proudly announce the relaunch of Novascape Records under my direction. This significant milestone in my musical journey allows me to revive the legacy of Novascape Records and continue its mission to enrich the vibrant music industry.

With a fresh vision and renewed passion, the relaunched Novascape Records aims to set new standards in the industry, fostering creativity and innovation. Our focus will broaden to encompass a diverse array of music styles and beautifully curated playlists, each telling its own story and achieving distinct goals.

Life is beautiful, and the journey of discovery worldwide is endless. This provides so much inspiration for new music, and I will continue with this for the rest of my life! Keep an eye on my site and stay updated!
