Doop (band)
Doop ( larger needles for baptism ) was a music project from the Netherlands. It was founded in 1989 by the two house producer Ferry Ridderhof ( born August 24, 1963 in Amsterdam ) and Peter Garnefski ( born May 18, 1964 in Rotterdam) in The Hague.
Ridderhof and Garnefski had met while studying at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. From 1992, first publications came under different names such as Booby Trax, Wax Attack, Sugar ' N' Spice and Vicious Delicious on the market.
The biggest hit of her career, the duo succeeded in 1994 as Doop with the same title, a Techno-/Housetrack, touched down on the sample of Charleston from the 1920s. The single reached in March 1994 in the UK No. 1 on the charts and stayed there for three weeks. In the U.S., Doop was successful. There, the track became a club hit and peaked at # 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music / Club Play charts.
The follow-up single Huckleberry Jam tried to continue on the same principle with a harmonica sample in country-blues style success, but the play flopped. In the Netherlands, the project lived on for some time, but remained internationally Doop the only success.
In the following years, Ferry & Garnefski published further under various names such as Hocus Pocus and Sponk. Since 1998 they form with Edward Boellaard and Hans Weekhout the quartet Peplab.
