Biography
T-Spoon is the name of one of Holland's most successful dance acts ever. They have been hailed by many critics as the best live dance act in the world. It all started out in 1993 with their first single "No Time 2 Waste", which wasted no time in cracking the top 10 in their home country. It did not take long before other countries followed.
During the following years they scored a string of hits, which brought them success in countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, Israel, Ireland, Scandinavia, South-America and of course their home country, Holland. Songs like "A Part Of My Life", "Where R U Now", "Take Me 2 The Limit" and of course "Sex On The Beach" kept people moving all over the world. Releasing 4 full CD's, including a remix CD and a hit single collection, they proved to be one of the most versatile dance acts to have ever existed. They produce powerful euro-dance tracks, groovy R&B songs, upbeat happy hardcore tunes and even euro reggae and euro disco tracks.
Behind the T-Spoon scenes we find Dutch Remy de Groot, better known as Prince Peration. He is the founder and one of the driving forces behind T-Spoon. One of the co-producers was Serge Ramaekers.
In 1997 they released one of the biggest summer hits of the 90s with their anthem "Sex On The Beach". In the year of release it went top 3 in the Netherlands and top 10 in Belgium... but the big international success came in 1998, when "Sex On The Beach" was released in Ireland and the UK. It entered the UK top 40 at #2 and stayed in the top 10 for more than a month, which is something uncommon in the British charts.
1999 sees the continuing success of "Sex On The Beach", when it went to the #1 position in Japan and the Fiji Islands and entered the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand! 1999 also sees the UK release of "Tom's Party", which also entered the UK Top 40. They became the second Dutch dance act ever to score two top 40 hits in a row (after 2 Unlimited).
Spring 1999 saw the first pre-release of the forthcoming album T-Spoon in the form of the smashing "Got 2 Get U Back". The new album was completely produced by Remy de Groot and Axel Breitung. In June the second pre-release was taken off the album: "Summer Love". This track reached a top 15 placement in Holland.
A huge mega deal with Sony Music/550 Music in the US and Sony Music/Epic Records in Canada saw the release of "Sex On The Beach" throughout North-America in August. October 99 also sees the release of the new Dutch single "I Want To Be Your Man". At the same time "Delicious" was released in Belgium.
In 2001 the new single "Sexy Lady" was released. It features the rapper King Lover who also did the regga raps on "Sex On The Beach" and "Message Of Love". It includes a B-side entitled "Rivers Of Babylon". 2004 spawned more succes through the new version of their greatest hit, surprisingly called "Sex On The Beach 2004". T-Spoon and the T-Spoon DJ Team keep on moving bodies all around the globe!!
