Career
Commercially successful were The Disco Boys especially with cover or productions with longer quotations or samples from other songs. Their first hit in the Media Control Charts, Born to Be Alive, was a remake of the disco hits of Patrick Hernandez from the year 1979. The vocal part comes from Roberto Blanco ( RB).
For You, her -now commercially most successful titles, used for long passages of the same songs by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, which in turn is based on the song by the same name is also Bruce Springsteen. It was co-produced by Syke'N'Sugarstarr. Since the start of the Bundesliga season 2008/2009 until the end of the 2009/2010 season Borussia Dortmund used the song as a running song. For You was the first time in 2005 in the charts and was re-released two years later. From 2007 to 2010, the single was always in the German chart, interrupted only by several enforced breaks due to a force at the time chart exclusion rule for low -placed songs. Nevertheless, it brought the song to a total of 93 chart weeks, reaching as high position No. 17 in late 2010, over three years after its release, For You was certified platinum.
Hey St. Peter is the cover of a track by Flash and the Pan from the year 1977. The single could reach 2006 number 8 in the Finnish single chart in February. The single BBB Baby cites the hit You Is not Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman -Turner Overdrive in 1974.
On 12 February 2005, launched the disco festival into life for the 10th anniversary of Disco Boys, which takes place annually since then in the Kassel exhibition halls.
In the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Disco Boys published more successful club hits without samples of other artists to use. I Love You So, What You Want, Shadows and other singles were an adjunct to their existing mix compilations, released and reached high in the charts in Germany. The singles were largely co-produced and written by Christoph Hoeffel and Robin Fields. Since 23 June 2010, the single Love Tonight is available. It is delivered in a package with remixes of the song, among others, Jay Frog, SONO and the Tune Brothers.
