With the song "Slice Me Nice", an international club hit was achieved in 1984, regularly played in discos alongside Modern Talking and Silent Circle. The productions are part of the Euro-Disco scene of the 1980s and are characterised by electronic sequences and catchy choruses. The collaboration with producer Anthony Monn had a significant influence on the stylistic direction.
