Many fans have been patiently awaiting news as to what has been going on with Dune. An update of the DJ Raw website made Dune's future seemingly grim, in that, there is a possibility that Dune, as we know it, no longer exists. Official news has not yet been released on the official Dune website, however, on the djraw.de web site, through the links section, there is a link to the official Verena web site, which reads: "Verena - my Ex-Dune Mate."
I don't think there's much more that needs to be said about that. Oliver will still be continuing his career as DJ Raw in productions such as 3AD Music and Richie Rich. Through this web site, I will create a new section in which I will follow Oliver's projects as closely as I can. Oliver is a musical genius, and I know that what he's working on will be incredible(we've already been witness to this with the Magic Carpet Ride and Come Alive mp3s released on the DJ Raw website).
Verena's future in music is as of yet unknown, but hopefully she will also continue with a career in music, and you can all be assured that if and when Verena starts to sing again, I will follow her career as closely as I plan on following Oliver's. Verena has an incredibly voice, and she has the ability to continue strong in the music industry.
Best of luck to both Oliver and Verena, and hopefully, someday, we will witness a comeback of Dune. :o)
