More about Eurodancemix
Eurodancemix.com was a website dedicated to Eurodance music. It started officially on July 18, 1997, from the merge of Eurodancemix Montréal (ran by Frédéric Renaud) and Dance Music Artists (ran by M. Fuljahn). Eurodancemix Montréal (formerly known as Eurodance Montréal/Eurodance Muzik Montréal) was dedicated mostly to Candance (Canadian Dance) artists such as Capital Sound and Temperance. Dance Music Artists had lots of information about international artists that were popular in South America and Europe. The website closed its doors in 1999 because there wasn't that much Eurodance music released at the time.
The story behind Eurodancemix Montréal
Eurodance Muzik Montréal was inaugurated on August 10, 1996, and used to reside on Nethosting servers (www.nethosting.com/~wildlife). In the beginning, the site started as a French-only website devoted to Candance music, and it was the first website devoted to Eurodance music in Canada written in French. On January 1, 1997, the site became bilingual and the English language was added to the site, mainly to improve the visitor count; the name then changed to Eurodancemix Montréal. Later in the 2000s and 2010s, the website ran under the name EurodanceHits and is available on the domain eurodancehits.com. The website Eurodancehits.com closed its doors in 2019.
