Ian van Dahl is a Belgian trance music group, made up of five members. The band’s members are Annemie Coenen, Peter Luts and David Vervoort, with producers Christophe Chantzis and Erik Vanspauwen. Luts and Vervoort have also worked with the trance group Lasgo. Ian van Dahl is best known for the 2001 summer hit Castles In The Sky, which charted highly across Europe. The original version of Castles in the Sky included vocals from a singer named Martine Theeuwen, who was later replaced by Coenen.

At their live shows, Annemie is supported on stage by two to six dancers, renowned for their energetic bordering on acrobatic routines. Whilst famed for their chart success, the outfit is equally at home on the clubscene, with around 10 to 12 remixes of each single finding their way into the record boxes of everyone from Tiesto to Armin Van Buuren.

Castles In The Sky blew up on international dance floors and went on to storm single charts around the world. They had pulled off a global hit with their debut release and were suddenly being talked about by everyone from Smash Hits to Mixmag. They then set straight to work on a debut album, Ace, and having discovered Annemie’s ability to write strong lyrics, went on to include eight of her songs on the release. Anyone who thought the act was a one hit wonder were proved spectacularly wrong when the album went Gold in the UK alone after just three weeks, and spawned two more Top 10 hits, Will I and Reason, and Top 15 single Try – not bad going for the young Belgian singer’s first professional venture.
