They are best known for the dance track "Everybody be somebody", which was based on a sample from "Bostich" by the Swiss synthpop band Yello. It spent three weeks at #1 on the US Dance chart in September 1995 and one week at #1 on Canada Dance Chart in January 1996. Other songs included "Move your body" (1996) and "All that Jazz" (1997).

What happened next?
Tragically, Yavahn died of colon cancer in 2003 and consequently as a tribute Ruffneck a couple of previously unreleased tracks, "Music to my ears" (2004) and "Get it Right" (2005). Not a lot of activity since 2005.
