Musical career

Early Career

De Moor was born in Delft and first recorded in 1993 as Fix To Fax. Tracks released under this alias include "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 the British charts the following year. It peaked at #54. Several versions of this track are available, including a 2002 remix 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.

Later Career

"Carte Blanche" by Veracocha, a collaboration between de Moor and Ferry Corsten, reached #22 in the British charts and remains popular today. Corsten reportedly chose the name Veracocha after watching a TV program about the Incas. A further apparent favourite of Corsten's from this period is De Moor's awesome remix of 2HD's "Sunflakes". The track featured on De Moor's second album Moor (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 debut single when it reached #30 in 2001. Some issues of this track were released under the pseudonym Emerald.

In 2003, De Moor released the tracks "Crystal Clouds" and "Nexus" as Questia. The following year, he released "Desdemonia" as Raster and "Grooveslide" and "Energy Reflect" as Flashbang. Vincent de Moor is also known for his remixes, most notably of Tenth Planet's "Ghosts", De Bos's "On The Run", Armin van Buuren's "Communication" and Ayumi Hamasaki's "Fly High".

In 2007, Vincent reworked two of his well known tracks, Flowtation and No Hesitation. His 2001 hit single, "Fly Away" was re-released with new remixes by Sean Tyas and Cosmic Gate. He also reworked, Sunflower (A single from his Moor album) in 2008.

Private life

Vincent can be seen as a very private person and very little is known about Vincent's personal life & career because he refuses to do interviews. In 2002, trance.nu arranged to do an interview with him - then again in 2007, but currently, neither interview has been done. As of today, no interview with him exists.^[2]
