Sylver Biography
Belgian electronica duo Sylver (formerly known as Liquid ft. Sylvie) emerged in 2000. Their debut single, called "Turn the Tide," climbed to the top of the official local club/dance chart soon after its release. Producer Regi Penxten and DJ/keyboardist Wout van Dessel (born 1974) were joined by singer Silvy De Bie (born 1981) to assemble an electronica-oriented act and join the Europop scene. After the huge success of their first single, "Skin" followed in January and "Forever In Love" in April 2001. Sylver's album Chances featured their hit songs and remixes. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
