Safri Duo is a Danish percussion duo composed of Uffe Savery (born April 5, 1966) and Morten Friis (born August 21, 1968).

Initially classically oriented, by 1999 they were discovered by a label executive working on classical music. After being signed, a track mixing both tribal sound and modern electronica was set to be released in 2000. The result was the popular "Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song)", that became one of the most popular songs in Europe that year.

Paul van Dyk (born December 16, 1971 as Matthias Paul in Eisenhüttenstadt, Brandenburg, Germany) is a grammy-award nominated artist, and one of the world's leading electronic dance music DJs and producers.

He was named "World's No.1 DJ" by DJ Magazine in 2005, and in 2006. He has remained in the "Top 10" since 1998. As of 2007, he has sold over 3 million albums worldwide. A trance producer in the early-late 1990s, Paul quickly achieved popularity with his famous remix of 'Love Simulation' by Humate in 1993, and his hit single, For an Angel, but in recent times he no longer likes to describe his music as trance, but rather simply as electronic dance music. He is married to Natascha van Dyk, who also appears on some of his releases (Vocals on "Together We Will Conquer"). The two were married in Cancún, Mexico.

Olive were a dance/breakbeat/trip hop group from the North of England. The founding membership consisted of producer, instrumentalist and songwriter Tim Kellett, producer & keyboard programmer Robin Taylor-Firth, & singer Ruth-Ann Boyle. The band released two albums, the second without Taylor-Firth, before ceasing activity.

They are best known for the UK number-one single "You're Not Alone". Following Simply Red's 1991 album Stars, which garnered the band's greatest commercial success in the UK and worldwide at the time, Tim Kellett, last among its original lineup (as trumpet player), left the band. Meanwhile, Robin Taylor-Firth had decided to branch out though continuing with George Evelyn's techno/hip hop project Nightmares on Wax. The two met through a mutual friend who had recently joined Simply Red as bassist, and formed a musical collaboration (Taylor-Firth cites the disparity between his relatively "underground" work among Sheffield's electronic music and DJ community, and Kellett's mainstream history).
Reception
At the 1997 Ivor Novello Awards (May 28, 1998), Kellett and Taylor-Firth received the Best Dance Music award for "You're Not Alone". The song was also covered as a 2002 single by German dance producer ATB. During the American leg of the Trickle promotional tour, the band suggested that 60-70% of their audience demographic at the time was gay. This was recognized to the extent that the final show of the tour was played at the San Francisco Pride festival. Today, Olive is generally placed alongside mid-1990s trip hop/electronica artists such as Moloko, Beth Orton, and the Sneaker Pimps.

Hall was born in Harlem, New York, and raised by his mother in Darien, Connecticut.

He has also released music under the names Voodoo Child, Schaumgummi, & as a member of the bands Vatican Commandos, AWOL, Caeli Seoul and Gin Train. He performs frequently in the New York club scene, often at events known as Degenerates.

Miquel Brown (born circa 1945) is a Canadian actress and Disco/Soul singer from the 1970s and '80s most popular for the songs 'Close to Perfection' and the Hi-NRG songs 'So Many Men, So Little Time' and "He's A Saint, He's A Sinner" (both now considered vintage gay anthems) produced in London by Ian Levine.

Also known for her boyish cornrows hairstyle, which she altered into a more womanly cut after some confusion regarding her gender (public, not personal). Originally named Michael, her parents changed the spelling (but retained the pronunciation) so as not to confuse her with a male producer and children's author of the time (Michael Brown). She is the mother of actress/singer Sinitta. She is the step sister of disco singer Amii Stewart. She was born in Montreal and reared in Vancouver, Canada, although some sources list her birthplace as Detroit, Michigan. Her grandfather died when she was 9, her grandmother died when she was 11, and she ran away from her aunt who took her in. As a teenager, Miquel frequented nightclubs, influencing her dream of becoming a performer. As a young woman, Miquel read Medicine at George Washington University in Washington D.C., during which time she married Anthony Blackett and had twin daughters Greta and Sinitta Renet Malone (popularly known as Sinitta, of 'So Macho' and 'Toy Boy' fame) in Seattle, Washington.

Matt Bianco is a UK band that was formed in 1983. They are mainly known for their success in the mid 1980s and their jazzy, Latin-flavoured music.

Popular during the mid 1980s in continental Europe, Matt Bianco epitomised the new jazz pop genre, that they shared with acts such as Working Week, Sade, Everything but the Girl, and The Style Council. The name suggests that Matt Bianco is a personal name, often referred to the main constant member and front man, Mark Reilly, but Matt is in fact "a made up spy, a secret agent; we loved spy TV themes and film scores"
The early years as a trio
Formed by Mark Reilly (vocals), Danny White (keyboards), & the late Kito Poncioni (bass) in 1982 from the shards of the abandoned art pop group, Blue Rondo A La Turk, for their first album, Whose Side Are You On?, they hired then unknown Polish vocalist Basia Trzetrzelewska. Her vocal arrangements gave the album a jazzy dimension that Reilly and White could not anticipate but made good use of. Mixmaster Phil Harding applied what would become his signature style to the recordings. Hits like "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed" and "Half a Minute," which Basia would feature live throughout her solo career, turned Matt Bianco into one of the biggest acts of Europe in 1984. Basia & Danny White, subsequently a couple in real life too, left the group soon after the first album to pursue an apparently more lucrative solo career with Sony, under the name Basia, on the Epic label. They maintained their working relationship with Phil Harding, who would continue to work with Matt Bianco as well. Mark Reilly, now without a musical partner, found ex-Wham keyboarder and session musician, Mark Fisher, and recorded the next (self-titled) Matt Bianco album.

Luscious Jackson is an alternative/pop-rock group formed in 1991. They are named after now-retired American basketball player Lucious Jackson, whose name was mispronounced "luscious" during a sportscast.

The original band consisted of Jill Cunniff (vocals, bass), Gabby Glaser (vocals, guitar), Kate Schellenbach (drums) and Vivian Trimble (keyboards, vocals). The band played nearly every instrument heard on their records, and with the exception of a few non-LP cover songs wrote all of their own material, the majority penned by vocalists Jill Cunniff and/or Gabby Glaser. Between 1993 and 2000 they released one EP, three full length LPs and ten singles on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal record label. Their biggest hit & only Billboard Top 40 entry is "Naked Eye" (#36, March 22, 1997). Other notable singles include "Here", "CitySong (NY State Of The World)", "Under Your Skin" and "Ladyfingers". Vivian Trimble left the group in 1998, and in 2000 (after releasing one album as a trio) the group officially announced the break up of Luscious Jackson. February 2007 saw the release of Luscious Jackson's "greatest hits" compilation, and in the Fall of 2006 the band announced that they have reunited and are to begin work on a new children's album.

Lipps Inc or Lipps, Inc. was a studio band that achieved one significant hit, "Funkytown" in 1980. The song is considered, by some, the last disco song to hit #1 in the U.S.

The group was formed in Minneapolis by Steven Greenberg, who wrote and produced all of the group's music, and who also played several musical instruments. The lead singer was Cynthia Johnson, and the rest of the group consisted of a changing group of session musicians, including guitarist David Rivkin. They achieved some popularity during the 1980s. The group released their debut album Mouth to Mouth in early 1980. Their hit from this album, "Funkytown" spent four weeks at Number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in the United States and was awarded a platinum record. It reached number two in the United Kingdom and was a hit throughout the world. Their further singles failed to match their initial success (their only other Hot 100 entry was "Rock It", which peaked at #64), however they had more dance hits throughout the 1980s, including "How Long?" (originally a big hit for Ace) in 1981, which reached #4 on the U.S. dance chart. The group released their final full-length album, 4 in 1983.

Juliet Richardson (born in 1980 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American singer, known as Juliet, best know for her 2005 album Random Order and hit single Avalon.Her recording debut was in 2000 as the singer for 1 plus 1. Their single "Cherry Bomb" from the Elektra Records album of the same title reached the Billboard magazine Top 40 Club Play Chart in 2001, as well as the Top 50 Dance chart.

Despite the initial promise of success, Richardson expressed displeasure with the marketing direction for 1 plus 1, and the act was recreated as alternative rock band MNQNN (pronounced "mannequin"). This music, differing greatly from the prior 1 plus 1 work, prompted Elektra to release them from their recording contract. MNQNN played rock clubs for a couple of years before the band went on an indefinite hiatus in June 2003. Richardson persuaded Josh Deutsch of Virgin Records to sign her to that label. She reconnected with Steve Sydelink who had worked in her bands and was the drummer in Madonna's band. In 2004, Richardson returned to major label recording, after Sydelink introduced her to record producer Stuart Price (also known as Jacques Lu Cont) under the name "Juliet". The album resulting from this project, Random Order, was released in August 2005; reviews of advance copies have been well received by critics. The advance single, Avalon, reached the top 5 on the European Dance chart in May 2005, and number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in March 2005. Avalon was popular at the 2005 Miami Winter Music Conference. The song also reached the top 30 of the UK singles chart in April 2005. She scored a second number one on the US dance chart in August with Ride the Pain. In August 2005, Juliet released her debut album on Virgin Records. Recorded with the help of producer Stuart Price of Les Rythmes Digitales, Zoot Woman and Madonna's Confessions On A Dancefloor fame, the album drew comparisons to a young Annie Lennox or Madonna thanks to her coolly emotional delivery with a sultry sexual charge. Juliet collaborated with another producer on the album, Guy Sigsworth (Madonna/Björk/Frou Frou) on the song New Shoes. UK radio DJ Pete Tong supported the single Avalon on his influential radio show which many regarded as a stand-out song. Overall the album mixes old school electro and funk with modern day pop sensibilities.

Isolée is microhouse artist Rajko Müller. Isolée is a minimalist house producer whose music is reminisent of indie electronic pop music of the early eighties and ambient techno from a decade on. Isolée is credited with creating the very first microhouse record to reach the club charts.

Isolée's 2000 album, Rest, containing the hit "Beau Mot Plage", was arguably the first microhouse full-length.
Rajko Müller was born in Frankfurt, Germany but lived with his family in Algeria at the age of 7 to 12 and went to a French primary school. Around this time his parents bought an organ for Christmas and he tried to do some synth-pop with a school friend. They decided to buy a synthesizer and a drumcomputer. Rajko grew tired of synth-pop and EBM in the end of the eighties and listened more to rock music and independent music. Müller's friends made him discover house music, hip-hop and techno in the early nineties & Müller began a second attempt to record electronic music again. Müller gave a tape to his friend and DJ Andreas Baumecker, owner of Freundinnen records, who worked in a record-store where the members of Playhouse Records used to work.
Müller's first Isolée material appeared on the music label Playhouse in 1997. Isolée full-length album Rest followed in 2000, also on Playhouse. Müller received a large amount of praise, including being listed as the third best reviewed album of the year on Metacritic for his 2005 album We Are Monster.

Sean Tillmann (born on February 6, 1978 in Owatonna, Minnesota) better known by his stage names of Har Mar Superstar & Sean Na Na, is an American singer. While remaining relatively unknown in his home country, he has found fame in the U.K. indie rock/dance scene. Often regarded as a genuinely talented musician,

Har Mar Superstar is a character who bears several physical & behavioral similarities to p... star Ron Jeremy; he is overweight (though he has slimmed down considerably as his stage shows & frequent touring have become more physically demanding), he performs his shows nearly nude, and appears obsessed with his own sexual prowess. His musical genre is R'n'B music. He originally claimed to be Sean Tillman's twin brother, Harold Martin Tillman, from which he claimed his name originated. The name actually comes from a shopping center in Roseville, Minnesota called the Har Mar Mall. He went to, and graduated from the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
Har Mar is also the spokesperson for Vladivar Vodka, who produced a series of television commercials that gained an underground cult appreciation for their blatantly sexual content.
Recently, Har Mar has become a spokesperson for Lynx brand deodorant in the UK. He has been involved in the promotion of the new scent, "click". He was no doubt chosen since image fits very well with the famous "lynx effect" marketing campaign which have famously portrayed the deodorant as being a major factor in attracting potential partners. Advertisements for Lynx bear vague sexual innuendo; some advertisements directly state that using the product will assist the consumer in seducing women.
He made a cameo in the 2004 movie Starsky & Hutch as "Dancin' Rick", a disco dance champion who faces off in a contest with Ben Stiller's character.

Grace Jones (born May 19, 1948) is a Jamaican–American singer, model, and actress. Jones secured a record deal with Island Records in 1977, which resulted in a string of dance-club hits and a large gay following. The three disco albums she recorded Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978), and Muse (1979) generated considerable success in that market. These albums consisted of pop melodies (such as "All on a Summer's Night" and "Do or Die," set to a disco beat) and standards (such as "What I Did for Love," "Autumn Leaves," and "Send in the Clowns").

During this period, she also became a muse to Andy Warhol, who photographed her extensively. Jones also accompanied him to famed New York City nightclub Studio 54 on many occasions.
Toward the end of the 1970s, Jones adapted the emerging New Wave music to create a different style for herself. Still with Island, and now working with producers Chris Blackwell, Alex Sadkin and the Compass Point All Stars, she released the acclaimed albums Warm Leatherette (1980) and Nightclubbing (1981). These included re-imaginings of songs by Sting, Iggy Pop, The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Flash and the Pan, The Normal, Ástor Piazzolla, and Tom Petty.
Parallel to her musical shift was an equally dramatic visual makeover, created in partnership with stylist Jean-Paul Goude, with whom she had a son. Jones adopted a severe, androgynous look, with square-cut hair and angular, padded clothes. The iconic cover photographs of Nightclubbing and, subsequently, Slave to the Rhythm (1985) exemplified this new identity. To this day, Jones is known for her unique look at least as much as she is for her music. Her collaboration with Blackwell, Sadkin and the Compass Point All Stars continued with the dub reggae–influenced album Living My Life.
