Critical Mass was formed in 1994 by Ed Bout and Dave Hasselaar.
ID&T records (the centre of hardcore at that time) wanted a live act. At the beginning both producers where the act by themselves but not much later they integrated the singer Ludmilla Odijk and rapper Danny Haenraets alias MC Energy.
At the end of 1995 they got a hit with "Dancin' Together". In 1996 3 big hits followed: "Burnin' Love", "Believe In The Future" and "Happy Generation". In 1997 another single followed called "Together In Dreams". In 1999 the group tried again with a trance single called "In Your Eyes", it became a clubhit. "In Your Eyes" and "Together in Dreams" (both being eurotrance tracks, and not happy hardcore) were picked up by Byte Records. But even Byte failed to make Critical Mass succeed;
