DuMonde

German Hard Trance project DuMonde emerged in 1997 as a collaboration between René Dumont, Jürgen Mutschall, and Dominik de León. With a powerful blend of euphoric melodies and driving energy, the project quickly carved out a space in the international trance scene. Their early release <a href="spotify:album:0fpWQLCFtKbS9Yea8BNVdq" data-name="Tomorrow">Tomorrow</a> (1998) became a breakthrough success, entering Germany’s Top Ten and appearing on numerous major label compilations worldwide. Further success followed with subsequent singles as <a href="spotify:album:40EMasQrPdEVZzu0cwIHBn" data-name="See the Light">See the Light</a> (1999) and <a href="spotify:album:0IvGoAtpLJT9U6ynjMyK97" data-name="Just Feel Free (Tomorrow 2000)">Just Feel Free (Tomorrow 2000)</a>.

In early 2001, René Dumont left the group. DuMonde continued as a duo, releasing iconic trance tracks as <a href="spotify:album:7uyNam6eQsnfTW47Uytjde" data-name="Never Look Back">Never Look Back</a>, <a href="spotify:album:0R6EW4Knj4GcsUeJZpr2nT" data-name="Memory">Memory</a>, <a href="spotify:album:2XFuBJwi7POquHvFrZcKag" data-name="God Music">God Music</a>, <a href="spotify:album:5VYnbDCwWBai16DKzDnMnI" data-name="Human">Human</a>, and <a href="spotify:album:05gSE6k9oOuQXNZdrp3USr" data-name="Ich will raus / Let me out">Ich will raus / Let me out</a> —timeless anthems still heard in clubs today.

Their remixes for Binary Finary, Alice Deejay, Push, and Barthezz showcased their distinct sound and secured their place in the golden era of trance. Mutschall (aka <a href="spotify:artist:7n7uDz0iG6M1T9BsEFXgcN" data-name="JAMX">JAMX</a>) and de León (aka De Leon) became key figures in shaping the early 2000s German trance scene.

After disbanding in 2007 to pursue solo careers, DuMonde made a surprise comeback in 2024 with <a href="spotify:album:5aLF4XNMkpRxpkriRQ102n" data-name="Sometimes">Sometimes</a>. Now led by founding member Jürgen Mutschall and joined by producer Daniel Körber (aka <a href="spotify:artist:4hDgAFxOmIN0lKNvD6LEI1" data-name="D.Mand">D.Mand</a>), DuMonde is once again pushing trance forward—honoring their roots while embracing the future.
