Even though distance proved stressing, Gielen decided and continued to come back to Belgium in-between stints to focus on his personal productions and remixes. The outcomes which — Airscape’s “Pacific Melody” and Alice Deejay’s “The Lonesome One” and remixes for Chicane, Vengaboys, Mobility scooter, DJ Tiesto, and Boy George — demonstrated off a method of open-armed Ibizan benevolence well-suited for the increasing late-night ebullient crowds in Holland and Wales.
