Duende
Style: Trance / Progressive
Duende was formed in 2004 by Gregory Engelhardt, Antonio Moreno and Thorsten Wittig.
Duende are undoubtedly one of the most exciting talents in the global trance scene today.
Their genre-defining productions have become an essential tool for the world's leading DJ's.
Since their first production "Amor de dios" - which became "Tune of the week" in Armin van Buuren's Radioshow "A State of Trance" they were given more and more credit with each production.
Their remixes for Duderstadt, Alex Bartlett and ATB are one of the last year hottest trance productions and it's definitely going to be an auspicious 2008 for Duende.

Dj Mag review 5/5
”It’s taken a little while for Gregory Engelhardt, Thorsten Wittig and Antonio Moreno to get together and follow up last year’s well received "Amor de Dios"
"Ilimitado" is surfacing now though, and it’s been well worth the wait. The original mix carries with it all the power it’s possible for a trancer from the definitively melodic end to contain.
Short on breakdowns and long on sweeping thematic sequences, the original mix draws on a gamut of electrifying sub-melodies to make its point.
Nothing too exaggerated mind, just unassuming, beautiful note arrangements.
Current bright young things Stoneface and Terminal send the mercury shooting up once again with their remix. Tougher drums and vibrant, piping synths carve out the early atmosphere.
Defining the break with far more distinction than the original, they use excellent arrangement flourishes to wrap it up. A cracking return and the best Afterglow track in ages.”
