“The Abyss & Judge sound is very diverse,” says DJ/producer Gevrey Heijnes, “but catchy as well. We prefer hardstyle with great melodies, heavy basses and pounding kicks.” He should know, since he forms the Abyss & Judge duo together with fellow DJ/Producer Justin Putuhena.

Abyss:
Gevrey decided to get involved with the magic of vinyl at the age of 15. Records and mixing tracks were really something to focus on and so oldstyle, hardcore and houseclassics (Late 80’s and early 90’s) were the start in his repertoire. More people started to notice Gevrey’s unique skills and passion to always look for exciting new musical paths. So it was no surprise when the hardstyle sound started to conquer the scene, Gevrey was on the forefront.

After sending a mix-cd to Q-dance Gevrey performed in the talent room of Qlubtempo #5. After this, things just got better and Gevrey played on several major events in Holland; Matrixx, QrimeTime, DefQon One Festival, Qlimax(VIP), X-Qlusive labels, Seqtion and several other local/national and international events (Lloret De Mar, Callela, Mallorca). Since 2003, Gevrey (co) produced a handful of well received productions on labels such as Straight On Recordings and DJS Records.

Judge:
Justin started playing the piano when he was just 5 years old. He got hooked on dance music at a young age. But when he got his hands on a set of two turntables and a mixer, Justin found his life’s devotion. He started to perform at local parties. At the age of 15 Justin also started producing tracks. In June 2004 Justin got a call from Q-Dance that he was invited to play at the Deqon1 talent night at Q-Beach after sending a mix-cd. After that things were going forward with Justin and he released his first record at DJS Records. In 2006 Justin decided to learn more about producing, mixing and mastering and he studied “Studio Engineering and Producing” at the Sound Academy in Utrecht.

Gevrey and Justin met on a gig in Purmerend in 2006. They joined their forces witch led to the release “Bassreactor” with on the B-side “We're back and Syndicate” in 2007. They decided to form the DJ/producer duo Abyss & Judge. In 2008 Abyss & Judge signed to the Dutch Master Works label, home of many dance floor heavyweights including Showtek, Southstylers and Dutch Master.

The duo have made a lasting impact with their two releases “Hardstyle Revolution/One Life” and “Rapture/Shadows”. “But with three EP’s under our belt and a series of new releases scheduled for 2009 we’re happy that we’re part of one of the leading hardstyle labels in the world,” says Justin with a happy smile on his face.

Shadows
Abyss & Judge Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The face in the window is turning black
Rotten eyes observing me
Night and day searching for a home
Promise you remember me
I am lost in the fog, of silence and fear
My inner conflicts have driven me here
I'm so dissapointed in myself
Something is creeping behind my back

Coming closer every night, feeling like an oversight
Deep inside lies the mark I made, pushing away my honesty
Shadow People are killing me
I am lost in the fog, of silence and fear

My inner conflicts have driven me here
I'm so dissapointed in myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Shadows" by Abyss & Judge brings to light the pagan past of Transylvania, a land of ancient rituals and mystery. The opening line, "Our obscure pagan past's in ruins" refers to the fact that the knowledge and traditions of the ancient pagan religion that existed in Transylvania have been lost over time, and only remnants remain in the form of ruins of castles and silence.

The lyrics mention "deathlike silenced land of living deads" which symbolizes the decay and death of the ancient pagan practices and beliefs. The line "an evil empire is shining in the mountains" suggests that the modern culture that has taken over the land is perceived as evil in the eyes of the pagan followers.

The reference to "Transylvania's forest gem" points to the beauty of the land that has been blessed with age-old traditions and mystery. The line "The shadows of past are praying in the fog" suggests that even though the rituals and practices have been lost to time, the shadows of the past continue to haunt and remind us of what once was.

Line by Line Meaning

Our obscure pagan... pagan past's
The history of our pagan ancestors has been shrouded in mystery and is not well known

In ruins dying bloodfreezing castle
Their once great and mighty castle is now in ruins, and the coldness of death seems to overtake everything around it

Deathlike silenced land of living deads
This land seems to be filled with the undead; everything looks dead, yet there are signs of life still lingering in the shadows

An evil empire is shining in the mountains
Despite the bleakness around, an evil force still rules this territory, perched high in the mountains

Transylvania's forest gem
The forests of Transylvania are a shining example of a long lost time

Scene of ancient... ancient rituals
The place where the forests thrive was once a site of great spiritual rituals

It's glittering so individual
The forests are a shining example of their own unique and special power

Proud and orphan
It stands alone, yet strong and proud

Lamenting our pagan victory
Despite the beauty around, there is sorrow in knowing that their pagan ancestors' triumph is now a thing of the past

Our past is already... already in ruins
The past of their ancestors is long gone, and has been thoroughly destroyed and forgotten

Hard silence of oblivion has descended on it
The memories of these people are now lost in a thick, heavy blanket of silence and ignorance

In the mist is circling the prayer of the ancestors
But even though there is no-one around to remember or appreciate it, the spirits of the past still haunt the land

The shadows of past are praying in the fog
These remaining spirits cry out in the shadows, caught between the past and present

Transylvania's forest gem
Still, the beauty of the forest remains for all to see

Scene of ancient... ancient rituals
And the memories of the ancient rituals that once took place there linger on
