Lasgo

Lasgo is a Belgian trance group. The group formed in 2000 and composed of Peter Luts and Jef Martens as record producers with Evi Goffin as vocalist. The group's debut single "Something" was released in the summer of 2001 and became a hit all around Europe, charting at #5 in Belgium as well as #4 in the UK Singles Chart in 2002. Their follow ups continued to hit the charts in mainland Europe, but the group's appeal started to decline after 2008, when Evi Goffin left the band and was replaced by Jelle Van Dael, who became the singer after winning a competition to be the singer of the band on Belgian TV.

Links To Peel
Peel first heard the group when he was in Groningen for the Eurosonic Music Festival in 2002. On his show from 15 January 2002, Peel explains how he heard their debut single "Sometimes":


 * "The record you just heard is one that we heard last night in a kind of techno bar that we went into where AC Acoustics were having a drink, but it was so loud in there that we couldn't really have much of a conversation with them. We certainly wouldn't have been able to record one, but we were also in there of course with Aereogramme and we really couldn't record much of a conversation with them either because of the noise. But some of the noise was rather pleasurable actually. We made a list of some of the records that we heard in there will try and obtain some of the others to play in the programme"

The single "Sometimes" got it's release in the UK in February 2002. However later singles weren't played by Peel and the band only had four UK Top 10 singles between 2002 and 2004, before disappearing off the charts in the UK. The rest of Europe, they continued to have some success until the late 00's.
