Astroline was a Belgian Eurodance ensemble created by DJ and producers Bart Smolders, Christophe Chantzis (known for Absolom and Ian Van Dahl), alongside Stefan Wuyts (also recognized as DJ Jimmy Goldschmitz & Heliac). Their activity spanned from the mid-1990s until the early 2000s. The group gained prominence primarily through their notable track "Feel The Fire", which featured vocals by Kathleen Goossens. Additional production contributions came from Gert Corvers and Peter Luts (associated with Lasgo and Ian Van Dahl). During live performances, Goossens was accompanied by keyboardist Gert Covers and two dancers.
Biography
The project’s initial release, "Take Good Care (Of Me)," achieved moderate success in Belgium, reaching #46 on the charts. Originally issued under the name "Astroline feat. DJ Bart," the act later simplified its branding to "Astroline" for the CD release, transitioning from a studio-based initiative to a full dance group. In early 1998, their follow-up single "Feel The Fire" climbed to the top of the Belgian Ultratop Dance Chart and secured the #9 position on the overall singles chart, representing their peak commercial achievement. Later releases included "Smiling Faces" (1998), "No Way Out" (1999), "Angels" (2000), and "Close My Eyes" (2000). While "Close My Eyes" saw limited impact in Belgium, it gained popularity in Canada during 2001. Following Astroline’s dissolution, vocalist Kathleen Goossens became part of the dance project Orion Too under the alias Caitlin, scoring international hits with "You And Me" and "Hope And Wait." Producer Peter Luts went on to establish his successful act Lasgo. Additionally, Goossens lent her voice to other projects such as Airwave and Third Bass.
