Ray is still with group but Anita left in 2016 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Kim Vergouwen.

2 in a room

The duo consisted of rapper Rafael "Dose" Vargas and producer/remixed Roger "Rog Nice" Pauletta and are best known for their international hit "Wiggle it (just a little bit)" which was #1 for 2 weeks on the US Dance chart (Oct 1990) and made the top 3 in the UK at the start of 1991. Contrary to popular belief, they were not a one hit wonder as "El Trago (The Drink)", which sampled Yazoo's "Don't go" at the end, scraped into the UK Top 40 in 1994.

Hits (Discography):

Date	   UK	Song
Jan 1991    3   Wiggle it
Oct 1994   34   El Trago (The Drink) 

What happened next? A little search led to the fact Dose became some guy called "Fulanito" seemingly celebrating his dominican heritage. Whilst Roger continued remixing and in recent times compiled a Debbie Gibson megamix!

2 Brothers on the 4th Floor

The Dutch dance outfit was created by two brothers Bobby and Martin Boer with Desiree Manders their main vocalist. I still never figured out why the 4th floor. Did they live on the 4th floor? Was their studio on the 4th floor? Who knows?

They mostly had success in their native Netherlands with no less than 9 Top 10 hits. But they manage some success in the rest of Europe and internationally too. One of the early proponents of Eurodance, their most notable songs include "Dreams (will come alive)", "Fly (Through the Starry Night)" and "Never alone" (See: Discography for more).

Acts From 90s

I am going to try to write about an act back in the 1990s as I try to reminisce songs of yesteryear! Strange new year resolution!
