Sash! Feat Stunt ‘Raindrops (Encore Une Fois) – Sash! ‘The Best Of’ album

After 10 years of huge success, selling over 17 million albums worldwide and earning more than 65 Gold and Platinum awards, Sash! are set to storm back into the charts with Raindrops (Encore Une Fois) featuring Stunt, a mash-up of Sash!’s huge 1997 number 2 hit ‘Encore Une Fois’ and ‘Raindrops’ by Stunt – the producer duo Mark Dowling and Simon, and vocalist Molly Smithen Dowes.

Created in 1995, Sash! are Sascha Lappessen, Thomas “Alisson” Lüdke, and Ralf Kappmeier. Their first success came with the European club hit, ‘It’s My Life’, but it wasn’t until 1997 that they had their big break with the release of ‘Encore Une Fois’. With Sabine Ohmes on vocals, it was a perfect mix of pop, progressive house and trance beats, which reached number 2 in the UK singles chart, number 1 in the US dance charts and made the top 10 of five other countries’ singles charts. In the same year, Sash! produced ‘Ecuador’ and ‘Stay’, which both reached #2 in the UK, followed by ‘La Primavera’ in 1998, which reached #3 along with ‘Mysterious Times’ (#2) and ‘Move Mania’ (#8). The success continued in 2000 with the release of ‘Adelante’ (#2) and with ‘Just Around The Hill’ and ‘With My Own Eyes’, which reached #8 and #10 respectively.

Sash! have worked with a number of high profile artists, including Boy George, Sarah Brightman, Adrian Rodriguez, Shannon, Tina Cousins and Dr. Alban and have been asked to remix Jean Michel Jarre, Todd Terry, OMD and Kylie Minogue, enjoying worldwide success everywhere from the USA and New Zealand to Russia, Australia and Japan.

Hard2Beat has had a phenomenal year. After notching up four consecutive top five hits from Basshunter, H ‘two’ O Feat Platnum and September, they have made history, becoming the first dance imprint to ever achieve this with their first four releases.
