Vincent de Moor (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈvɪnsɛndəˈmoːr]; born 1973) is a formerDutchtrance artist. He is most notable for his work with therecord producerFerry Corsten under the working title, "Veracocha," and for his 2001 single, "Fly Away".
De Moor firstrecorded in 1993 as Fix To Fax. Tracks released under this alias included "Enjoy Yourself", "Do U Feel It", "Pick It Up" and "Take Control". Other early releases include "Het Vliegende Kunstgebit" as Gmoork, "Chinese Juice" and "Exotic Mind" as Outline, and "Voice In The Dark", "Frame Of Pleasure" and "Brazilia Carnavelas" as Sidewalk.
His breakthrough track, using his own name, was "Flowtation". The track was first released in 1996, and reached #54 in theUK Singles Chart in August 1997.[1] Several versions of this track are available, including a 2002remix with vocals. In 1998, De Moor collaborated with Ernst Bijlsma to release "Don't Hurt Me" (as Cache) and, using his own name, released the track "Orion City" and a debut album of the same name. He also found time to release tracks including "Darwin's Voyage", "Magnetic" and "Domino Runner" using his VdM moniker.
"Carte Blanche" byVeracocha, a collaboration between de Moor and Ferry Corsten, reached #22 in the UK chart. Ferry Corsten reportedly chose the name Veracocha after watching a TV program about theIncas. A further apparent favourite of Corsten's from this period is De Moor's remix of 2HD's "Sunflakes". The track featured on De Moor's second albumMoor (2000), along with the singles "Shamu", "Between 2 Fires" and "Eternity (Forever)". 2000 also saw the first release of "Fly Away", which went on to become De Moor's most successful single when it reached #30 in the UK in 2001.[1] Some issues of this track were released under the pseudonym Emerald.
In 2003, de Moor released the tracks "Crystal Clouds" and "Nexus Asia". The following year, he released "Desdemonia" as Raster and "Grooveslide" and "Energy Reflect" as Flashbang. He is also known for hisremixes, most notably of Tenth Planet's "Ghosts", De Bos's "On The Run",Armin van Buuren's "Communication" andAyumi Hamasaki's "Fly High".
In 2007, de Moor reworked two of his well-known tracks, "Flowtation" and "No Hesitation". His 2001 hit single, "Fly Away" was also re-released with new remixes bySean Tyas andCosmic Gate. He also reworked, "Sunflower" (a single originally from hisMoor album) in 2008. This was his last official release.
