Astroline was a Belgian Eurodance project by DJ/producer Bart Smolders, Christophe Chantzis (Absolom, Ian Van Dahl) and Stefan Wuyts (DJ Jimmy Goldschmitz & Heliac), who were together from the mid 90’s to the mid 2000’s. They are best known for their hit single "Feel The Fire". Vocals were done by Kathleen Goossens. Other producers involved were Gert Corvers and Peter Luts (Lasgo, Ian Van Dahl, Groove Watchers). On stage singer Kathleen Goossens was accomplished by Gert Covers on keyboard and two dancers (An Hoube and Katarina Vincente).

Their first release “Take Good Care (Of Me)” became a real club hit in Belgium and a minor radio hit (#46). Originally the track was released as "Astroline feat. DJ Bart" on 12 inch. For its cd-single release the name "Astroline" was adopted, transforming it from a studioproject to a dance group In the beginning of 1998 their second release "Feel The Fire" topped the Belgian Ultratop Dance Chart in its first week. The single climbed to #9 and became their biggest hit single. Other releases were “Smiling Faces (1998), “No Way Out” (1999), “Angels” (2000) . Their last release was “Close My Eyes” in the summer of 2000. While this single didn’t do anything special in Belgium, they had a nice hit with it in Canada in 2001.
