DUMONDE GO OUT WITH A BANG WITH THEIR FINAL SINGLE RELEASE- GUN
ORIGINAL MIX : JAY FROG 9MM REMIX : SPACE RAVEN REMIX
Release date 22.12.07 :Exclusive download on Massive Trax through trackitdown.net in conjunction with the Trance Awards
Hard hitting German duo DuMonde aka JamX & De Leon are one of the most enduring trance twosomes on the scene. Behind countless trance epics such as ‘Tomorrow’ and ‘God Music’ and the remix magic has turned many records into instant floorfillers – just cast your mind back to records like CRW – I Feel Love and Alice DJ – Better Off Alone.
Fast forward to the present and to what is to be the last ever DuMonde production and they haven’t lost any of their production power as they drop ‘Gun’ – a cutting edge, firing on all cylinders blast of modern hard trance music. Featuring an en-vogue indie rock style vocal by Aydo Abay from cult German rockers Blackmail this is an irresistible genre blending clash of dirty techno grooves, soaring trance melodies and stadium-rock riffing topped off with a searing anthemic vocal and a stinging acid kickback
Remix duties are covered by Jay Frog and Space Raven who give it the right treatment to crossover to fresh dancefloors. Jay Frog’s 9mm Remix turns it into a tough electro workout that still retains its lighters-in-the-air power while Space Raven pumps it up for the harder floors laying on the trance riffage and slamming in an epic breakdown.
Massive Trax is still a fledging label but backed by a wealth of musical knowledge and headed by battle-worn industry fighters who have worked with some of the toughest names in the dance business. ‘Gun’ is all set to be a huge hit for this fresh new label who are committed to not just bringing the best quality European trance music to the masses but also doing their bit for a good cause. As with every Massive release the profits from the sales of this record will go to charity, in this case helping fight breast and testicular cancer, causes close to both DuMonde and Massive
With backing from the likes of Judge Jules with plays on BBC Radio 1, Armin van Buuren on A State Of Trance and finding favour with artists as diverse as Sander van Doorn, Marcus Schössow and Mark Sherry, ‘Gun’ is a crossover smash fully loaded to ensure DuMonde end their ten year career with a bang.

Press Statement from DuMonde 10.12 2007
In what is a sad moment for us,we have decided to call an end to DuMonde. We could quote artistic differences, different directions, solo productions but we will spare you all the clichés.
We spent ten years at the top with DuMonde. With the Album a Decade we captured and highlighted a chapter in our joint career and have decided to make it a closure point for us .We feel that this makes a natural break, drawing a line under the success we achieved as one of the most respected trance acts on the scene. Gun due for release this month will be our final joint production as DuMonde, a track that is a strong and fitting end to a great ten years …
For 2008, both JamX and De Leon have a number of individual projects lined up. Some of the new solo works will embrace the feel of what has been done in the past while others will be moving in completely new and fresh directions.
We would like to thank all of you who supported us over the last ten years our loyal fans, the DJs and producers we worked with and now we are going to go into clichés, friends, family etc, but seriously to all of you, thanks we couldn’t have done it without you.
We hope you will enjoy the future with us as we embark on our solo projects and look forward to your continued support.
Juergen (JamX) and Dominik ( De Leon )

DuMonde are Jurgen Mutschall aka JamX and Dominik de Leon aka De Leon. JamX and De Leon two of Germany's biggest DJs. Their production skills are up there with the world's best, collaborating with the likes of Tiesto and Push. DuMonde's hard techno trance sound can be heard across the entire globe, as their records continue to hit the top 40 worldwide.
The tune that perhaps they are most famed for, "Tomorrow", hit the top 10 Dance Charts in Germany shortly after the two teamed up. "Tomorrow" undoubtedly put DuMonde on the map, and the subsequent remix was hammered by every DJ from Paul Oakenfold to Judge Jules.
Their name as one of the strongest production teams on the scene was illustrated by the success of remixes of tracks such as 'Push', 'Universal Nation', the chart smashing, 'CRW', I Feel Love', and Alice Deejay's, 'Better Off Alone'.
DuMonde's DJ career was now to achieve the dizzy heights in the U.K that it had in Germany where they ranked alongside DJs such as Paul Van Dyk. They held one of the most prestigious residencies in the country at the world famous, 'Dorian Gray', as well as regular guest spots at 'God's Kitchen', in Birmingham, Gatecrasher in Sheffield,' And it wasnt just in the UK and Germany . Worldwide their reputation was spreading with gigs at Velfarre', in Tokyo and ´Glow´ in Washington D.C. To crown all these achievements they also took major dance events like, 'Nature One', Love Parade Berlin ' and 'Global Gathering in Birmingham' by storm.
In November 2001 JamX & De Leon finally founded their own label called "F8T Recordings". The first release Can U Dig It" (Jam X and Deleon) was released early 2002 and became a huge club hit all across Europe.
In 2006 F8T recordings saw a lot of exciting releases from DuMonde! In January they released I Feel You and May saw the release of Tomorrow 2006. later that year the electro track Elektrisch was released under their Jam X & De Leon alias.
In 2007, the long awaited album from DuMonde finally was released!
