History edit
Their most successful single, "Hypnotic Tango", samples the Italo disco hit by My Mine. In 2002, it reached the top 10 of the Media Control Charts,[1] and was one of the most successful dance singles of the year; it also earned them an Echo nomination, and was a hit in Austria, France, Switzerland, and the UK.[2][3] The following year, they released the singles "Ballet Dancer" together with Turbo B of Snap!, and "How Old R U?", another hit. Their debut album, We Love Italo Disco contains songs which sample various Italo disco hits.
In 2006, the group released "Since You've Been Gone", a cover of the 1976 Russ Ballard song. The following year they released their second studio album Put Your Hands Up. The single "Walking in Memphis"/"Can Delight" reached the top of the ClubRotation dance charts for several weeks.
