The idea for the group started on the dance floor of the discotheque Dorian Gray where Torsten Fenslau worked as a DJ. The group was founded in 1989 by accident, when Der Erdbeermund became a big hit in Europe.
Their biggest hit "Mr Vain" topped the German and UK charts in 1993 and was one of the biggest hits across Europe that year, reaching #1 in the Irish Singles Chart (it also hit #1 on the Australian ARIA chart in 1993, and #17 on the U.S. Hot 100 the following year). Other hits include "Anything", "Got To Get It" and "World In Your Hands".
In 1993, Torsten Fenslau was killed tragically in a car accident, and his brother Frank took over production of the group.
Their third album "Inside Out" was another international hit in 1995 with a Top 10-Charthit in Germany "Inside Out" and three more chart breakers like "Crying In The Rain" and "Take Me Away".
In 1997, Frank decided to have the group go in a different direction and replaced Tania with Kim Sanders. Jay Supreme actually stayed with the group for a short time after Tania's departure. Frank had said on a now defunct message board on the group's official website, that the tracks from Metamorphosis were originally intended to have Jay rapping on them as usual, when a short time into the recording process he also decided to leave the group. There are some unreleased versions with Jay's vocals according to Frank.
In 1998 the project returned a bit less successfully with Kim Sanders, who also was the lead singer of Loft's "Hold On" and "Impossible" by Captain Hollywood Project. The singles like "Pay No Mind" were huge radio hits in Germany and managed to climb into the Top 30 of the charts.
Another change in lead singers gained the most recent member of Culture Beat, Jacky Sangster. Her first single release with Culture Beat was a thought provoking song titled "Insanity". The single did find some success much none more than with the underground sub-culture in Electronica/Dance music. A re-recorded version of their most famous song titled, "Mr. Vain Recall" featuring Jacky on lead vocals was a top 10 hit in Germany in 2003. A greatest hits package was released, and the act is now said to be recording new material with the new singer. Culture Beat didn't release another hit, the planned single "Can't Go On Like This (No No)" was dropped by the label in 2004. Still, before the single was dropped, it became a Top 20 pop chart hit in the German dance charts. Many long time Culture Beat fans and Eurodance, Hi-NRG and House fans around the world are patiently awaiting their fifth album.
Culture Beat sold over ten million albums and singles worldwide
2008: Culture Beat are back with the new Single "Your Love"
German:
Die Band wurde 1989 von Torsten Fenslau ins Leben gerufen. Die erste Single "Der Erdbeermund" enthielt noch gesprochene Vocals von Jo van Nelsen, bei den nachfolgenden Produktionen für das Album "Horizon" setzte man aber auf das Konzept "Rapper und Saengerin", wobei man Jay Supreme als Rapper gewinnen konnte und Lana E. als Saengerin. Groesster Hit dieser Besetzung war "I Like You".
Fuer das zweite Album "Serenity" (1993) aenderte sich die Besetzung erneut: Rapper blieb Jay Supreme, aber als Saengerin war nun Tania Evans mit an Bord. Gleich mit der ersten Single von "Serenity" gelang Culture Beat ihr bis dato größter Hit: "Mr. Vain" (Text: Nosie Katzmann und Jay Supreme, Komponist: Nosie Katzmann und Steven Levis) wurde in 13 Laendern Nummer 1 in den Charts. Nach Veroeffentlichung der Nachfolgesingle "Got To Get It" verunglueckte Produzent Torsten Fenslau toedlich bei einem Autounfall in der Gegend um Darmstadt, seiner damaligen Heimatstadt. Sein Bruder Frank uebernahm seine Arbeit und veroeffentlichte zwei Jahre später "Inside Out", ein weiteres Album mit Jay Supreme und Tania Evans. Frank hatte bei Culture Beat auf diesem Album allerdings keine Produzenten-Taetigkeit, sondern er uebernahm mehr den Job eines Managers. Produziert wurde das Album derweil von fünf verschiedenen Produzententeams. "Inside Out" wurde erneut sehr erfolgreich, genauso wie die Folgehits "Crying In The Rain", "Take Me Away" und "Walk The Same Line".
Fuer Album Nummer 4 aenderte sich erneut die Besetzung: Frank trennte sich von Jay Supreme und Tania Evans und holte stattdessen Kim Sanders ins Boot, die einige Jahre zuvor mit Torsten Fenslau den Hit "Show Me" aufgenommen hatte. Der Sound von Culture Beat wurde für "Metamorphosis" einer Generalueberholung unterzogen und von "Dance" in "Pop" umgewandelt. Es erschienen die Singles "Pay No Mind", "Rendez-Vous" sowie "You Belong".
Nach "Metamorphosis" trennten sich Culture Beat von der Plattenfirma Sony, woraufhin Culture Beat zu Eastwest wechselten. Dort erschien 2001 die Single "Insanity", diesmal mit Jacky Sangster am Mikrofon.
Mit einer Neuauflage von "Mr. Vain", dem "Mr. Vain Recall" landeten Culture Beat 2003 erneut einen Top 10-Hit, sowohl in den Clubs als auch in den Verkaufscharts. Die Vocals stammten in der 2003er Version aber nicht mehr von Tania Evans, sondern erneut von Jacky Sangster.
2008: Culture Beat melden sich zurueck: Die neue Single "Your Love" wurde veroeffentlicht!
