East Side Beat was an Italian dance project was fronted by Italian-American vocalist Carl Fanini and Italian keyboardist Francesco Petrocchi. They are best known for a cover of "Ride like the wind" that reached #3 on the UK chart. Another cover, this time of Simple Minds' "Alive and kicking" made the UK Top 30.

What happened next?
Carl Fannini went on to work with another Italian project, Clubhouse as well as Alex Gaudino. His most recent release was with Neja on yet another cover, Bronski Beat's "Smalltown boy" in 2021. Francesco Petrocchi went on to become a producer. It is unclear if this is the same Francesco Petrocchi that is an Italian politican.
