Decree

# Decree

Decree is a progressive trance project that emerged from Denmark, built on layered synths and hypnotic rhythmic structures characteristic of the progressive trance sound. Originally formed as a duo by Oliver B. Nonell and Kim Jiwook Bijl, the project established itself through releases that blended driving basslines with ethereal melodic elements, contributing to the European progressive trance scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Following the duo's split in late 2002, Nonell continued Decree as a solo venture, collaborating with various session musicians and producers to maintain the project's evolving sound. The reunion of Nonell and Bijl in spring 2014 marked a return to their collaborative roots, allowing the project to explore fresh interpretations of their progressive trance foundation while drawing on years of individual studio experience.
