In 1991 "Anasthasia" by T99 came out; a massive techno anthem produced by Olivier Abbeloos and Patrick De Meyer. The track became a huge classic and this year it will be re-released on iG Recording, with a whole bunch of brand new remixes.
I recently sat down with Olivier Abbeloos to talk with him about the story behind "Anasthasia", the production of the track, the release of the new remixes and more!
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Also make sure to check out my interview with Lucien Foort, in which he talks about the Quadrophonia classic "Quadrophonia"; which was another track done by Olivier (together with Lucien) in 1991: • The story behind "Quad...

Belgium was a real breeding ground for DJs and producers of electronic music. Many thanks to them.
Belgium thanks you Eclectikman. (I'm Belgian)👍 😁
I agree, ECLEKTIKMAN. 👍😊 For example... take "Charlotte de Witte" in today's times... Another excellent Belgian DJ!
@@COLLIE1972 👌
Pioneers. They deserve much more credit especially influencing the sound here in the uk.
Hardcore will never die
Big up all Junglists
Amen
Belguim is OK. The good boys in Front 242 came from there right? But it was Netherlands, Germany and Italy had the most impact.
T99 Children of Chaos is why I started producing music. Legendary work.
Vogel ah very nice!!!
"Anasthasia" is THEE rave track par excellence! I decided to listen to it a few days ago after many years of not hearing and it *STILL KICKS* ! Such a wonderfully beautiful track .
this is techno no rave....this is rave Prodigy - One Love
without doubt T99 by Anasthasia is the greatest rave track ever created.
It's testament to how good this tune is that I always get drawn back to it over and over again. Love it hard!
“Built out of samples” - brilliant!
🎵Yes this Record DEFINITELY hit the Spot in 1991 ,it's Techno Royalty here in the UK where it was the most successful " it went off in so many ways " fantastic 🥇♥️💯👍🎵
One of my fav old skool race tracks! It's a classic and still gives me the feels nigh on 35 years later!🔥👌🙌
One of the best intros ever
Max respect to this man for my lifelong love of electronic music
🙌🏻
I am really enjoying these interviews, but this one is my favourite. What a top man. Wonderful. Personally, New Beat was huge for me, and played that crucial part moving things from, say, the gothic dancefloor electronics of New Order (and Xymox and many others of course), but onto the dancefloor properly, and on into what would become acid house and all the rest. The interplay between BE, NL & UK at that time was so interesting and magical.
First techno record I ever played. When it first played the crowd went crazy. huge track.
One of the tunes that, once heard, I had to buy immediately, aged 15! It still is massive& I love playing it in sets... 👍✅
Ah nice one! This was also my very first ever CD single, I didn't even have a CD player back then haha
@@muzikxpress yes! Cd single and cassette! hahaha I bought it on vinyl Much later on !
Anasthasia is imprinted in my DNA. A DJ friend used to play it "reel to reel" in clubs all night.
I heard it for the first time in Krypton in Zottegem (Belgium), played by Kris Kastaar... it blew me away!
Ah nice! I was a bit too young to go out clubbing in that time, but I remember hearing it on the radio for the first time and I was like "Wowww, what is this???". Such a great energetic anthem! Still awesome after all these years.
Love from Greece..what a track😍
really did enjoy the interview. I'm sure the rapper on the remix of Anasthasia was called Flex and he was from London Town. I could be wrong
Interesting to hear how this track came into being and how that unforgettable synth sound was actualised. I love a whole load of different styles and genres, sub genres of music, classical to industrial etc. Still haven't forgotten hearing this for the first time in an HMV shop in London and just thinking "what the hell is this?!" I went to the counter, asked for a copy and bought it on the spot. Still a favourite from back then to this day.
Arthur Brain I tried to explain a younger colleague the other day what we felt when we heard this track for the first time.... kinda impossible to explain, so indeed, he didn’t get it haha!
It was a stand out track for the time, not only for that sublime synth sound but the production values as well. The "out of history mix" is the definitive one as those chord sequences and the bass line just make the track complete. I liked a fair bit of Quadrophonia as well as T99. kinda the early days of boundary pushing rave before it went commercial...
Great track ! Still got my copy (vinyl record) when it was released on XL recordings in 1991. Thanks twan !
Thank you! True story; my very first CD purchase ever was the CD Maxi single of "T99 - Anasthasia". Later I got the vinyl as well (both signed now by Olivier hehe)
the best interviews - you take them so deep into it
Thanks so much! Going to Amsterdam later today to interview another well known DJ / producer to ask him everything about one of his classics ;-)
I like that the track is being played throughout the interview 😁😁
This Song Was Released On Vinyl By XL Recordings
That as well, but first it came out on Belgian label “Who’s That Beat”. Then XL did license it from them from the UK market.
Lucky to spend time with Oliver when he'd visit LDN to buy records from Fat Cat with Stefaan from Music Man he stayed at my flat in East LDN - a lovely lovely guy. Hello Oliver 🙂
1st vinyl I ever bought. T99 Anastasia.
Great choice!
Olivier, I've always been your fan #2 with all related to Conga Squad and C-Mos (maybe there is some one more fan than me out there). I really appreciate all the good times you have provided me dancing alone in my dark room.
Badankt Twan voor weer zo,n mooie video/interview met 1 van mijn jeugdhelden!
Dank je Danny!!
The Best Music Ever, It changed everything in Dance Music!!!!
Oh wow! I was a dancer on the 1st European Tour....UK, France, Belgium, Ibiza etc... we also shot a video for MTV Party Zone....there were so many changes of the live set up....by the time Top Of The Pops came, all original members (rapper & 2 dancers) were replaced by a larger crew...even the original rapper was replaced...I was too young to understand what was going on but there was a lot of drama behind the scene - what a memorable time 😎 - big tune!!!
Oh wow, I bet you have some amazing memories and stories from that time, how cool! Hope you enjoyed the interview!
@@muzikxpress oh ja veel verhalen en herinneringen. Very glad I found this.....and your channel is interesting- 👍🏾
@@afrogroov helemaal top! En dankjewel!!
Love tour channel man!! Great interview as always!!
Thank you Johan! Got some super cool names coming up in the next few months btw, can't wait!
This and Maximizer, so good. Listened to Children of Chaos many mornings as a teenager.
Thanks for this videos, TH-cam is amazing.
Thanks for watching!
'L&O - Even now' is one of my most favorite New beat tracks ever
yes! Good one! BTW I did an interview with Serge Ramaekers as well about "The Sound Of C", you might like that one too ;-)
@@muzikxpress I already watched that one, it's actually how I found your channel ;)
@@Jeroen74 Haha oh that's cool!
Good questions and honest answers - loved the reply in particular to the best mix question.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
One of my fav tracks thanks for bring it up Twan :)
You're welcome, hope you enjoyed the interview!
Legendary track ❤❤❤
Twan, great interview. Oliver was DJing back to back with CJ Bolland last year in Dublin. Such a great show. Of course he played this track (The perc and truss techno remix of it he mentions here). Could you try and interview CJ too? So many good tracks to ask about.
Thank you very much! And yes, CJ Bolland is on my wish list. I hope this whole corona-crisis is over ASAP, since because there's no events, we also don't get any foreign DJs coming to The Netherlands for a few months. And I won't be able to travel to other countries either, so I hope (if he says "yes" of course!) that it will happen one day, but not sure when. Fingers crossed hehe
Enjoyed it! Love the background stories!
Thanks Dohan, me too hehe ;-) That's why I started with these vlogs, there are so many good stories and cool triva that should be shared with the world :) Glad you enjoyed it!
oh lordy... didnt know he was also part of Quadrophenia.
Yes! Did you see my interview with Lucien Foort about “Quadrophonia” as well?
@@muzikxpress no - I'll check it out! Enjoying these behind the scenes interviews.
@@donw9483 Thanks so much! Always happy to hear / read that! :)
Such a brilliant interview
Thanks a lot Jamie!
I heard this first time at a rave in a huge indoor market (Time Rag Market Rave '91 on TH-cam). The intro felt like GOD was descending upon us.
The stab is from "Carl Orff - O Fortuna , Fortune plango vulnera"
Hope you enjoyed the interview Nathan!
Awesome!
Classic!
Yes! And my very first ever CD Maxi single I bought, so extra special for me I could interview Olivier about this amazing classic!
Good clasic I remember from the early techno years. James Brown is dead, springs to mind. And ofc Human Resource and T99.
❤❤❤💯 🔥
Such a brilliant classic always ive still got it on record plus i recently did a official remix for olivier i did a 909 hardcore remix of it
Oh wow, that's cool! And yeah, when I did record this interview, lots of people were working on the new remixes, nice one!
@@muzikxpress Thank you where Olivier said there might be a 4 part remix package my tune is on the 4th pack as james f im also known more offline as jamie and thank you for such a brilliant interview i enjoyed that ive also got the t-99 class tune nocturne on record still as well the oldskool will never die

RAVE ON!.-
Id like to hear you do one on Plastic Dreams by Jaydee
@@tomserna6722 check out Muzikxpress episode 100, there you can see it 😬😂
hero
"What are you going to charge, la cuca de Mayo?" - what in the heck did they come up with the phrase you hear in "Anasthasia" during the gaps in the drops in that house-techno track? And who did that voice-over for that phrase?
That is not what it says ;-) It is a sample from African band Amampondo and the track is called "Skulumayele".
@@muzikxpress What does "Skulumayele" mean?
@@charlessmith263 no idea lol
herinner me nog goed wie er als T99 optrad op vele parties & televisie opnames... idd.
De pat... en de stef...
superb!
Thank you!!!
what does the vocal sample in this track actually say ?
Good question, not 100% sure tbh
it sounds something like "watch me light my charge" etc . great channel you have
Thank you very much! Working on some cool names for the rest of the year. I have 3 great names confirmed already, hope everything is pushing through. Thanks for your commment!!
basic instinct disco : )
@@acd274 no, that’s another track, which is also from Belgium though, but definitely not this one.
THE MOST LUNATIC FUCKING BREAK EAR BONES TRACK OF THIS ERA AND BEYOND
Party time
Where can we find the album ?
I got my copy of Discogs some years ago.
@@muzikxpress thanks
can you tell me what the line on the track is. Not the rap version. The other version . The guy shouts out something like what skool am i in. He probably does not say that at all. Do you know what is being said?
I know which sample you mean, but I have no clue haha #sorry
@@muzikxpress oh no. you will not be speaking to Mr Abbeloos in near future will you? If you do can you please ask him if you do not mind. Will be much appreciated.
@@marksmarsh2039 he has both youtube and soundcloud account, you can redirect your question there.
