In 2002, it reached the top 10 the Media Control Charts,[1] and was one of the most successful dance singles of the year, it has also earned them a Echo - a nomination, and was a hit in Austria, France, Switzerland, and the UK.[2][3]
The following year, together with the front man of the Euro Dance they have produced Snap! project, which became known as the Turbo Single "Ballet Dancer". Also in the 2003 "How Old R U?" appeared, which then became another hit of theirs. It became the best single of the year in the dance charts.
