Brooklyn Bounce is one of Europes most significant Live Dance Acts in the world. They are popular for their progressive sound, strong beats, pumping bass lines and a fat electrifying and bombastic hook line in their tracks. In the eight year history they could release no less than five albums and fourteen singles, which have all stormed the European and World Charts. Brooklyn Bounce was also nominated for two ECHO prizes and a COMET, as well as receiving Gold and Platinum awards.
The producers Matthias Double M Menck and Dennis DJ Bonebeaker Bohn started their commercial succsess in the middle until the end of the 90th. The two Hamburg natives had their first success soon after they met the first time in 1995. Their first chart hit of Boyz R Us - Singin in my mind hinted what will come in the future. In 1997, the duo debuted as Brooklyn Bounce, a characteristical visual dance act fronted by the vocalists and dancers Stephan Damon Zschoppe, Ulrica Bohn and Maeva, two go-go girls from Hamburgs Traxx Club. The Theme (Of Progressive Attack) scaled the German Dance Charts as a club favourite before coming a crossover hit for Brooklyn Bounce in France, Austria, Scandinavia and Germany. The singles success let Brooklyn Bounce decide to produce the debut album, In the Beginning. This album became also big success in whole Europe so they decided to present the second album The Second Attack in the same year.
With the presentation of the album Restart in 2001, Damons career ended with his decision to take more time with his family. Restart was a perfect produced hard trance album, that contains the chartbusters Club Bizarre, Born To Bounce, and Bass Beats & Melody. At this time Brooklyn Bounce was represented on stage by the cool Swede Ulrica Bohn, the fiery Chilean Alexandra Cuevas Moreno and the hot blooded Diabolo Rene Behrens. After many successful years, hundreds of performances together, the third album BB Nation and singles like Club Bizarre, Loud & Proud and Bring it back, Ulrica and Alexandra decided to leave their jobs as singers in the band and pursue new endeavours.
In summer 2003 Brooklyn Bounce started a new chapter in their history. With the support of NESTL SCHLLER and VIVA, two new singers and dancers were sought in a nationwide casting action. A total of eight final contestants competed on VIVA to join the band. With the help of VIVA-viewers, the competition was won by 21-year-old Marina from Gelsenkirchen and 26-year-old Mandy who lives in Mlheim. Together with Diabolo, they presented the X2X (we want more), Crazy and the album X-Pect The Un-X-Pected which has been released in November 2004.
The secret of their success is not a deal with the devil, it is more the unique, tough winking Brooklyn Bounce Sound, a hot style in varnish and leather with a demonic tempting attitude that was often copyed, but never in such a perfect completion.
Brooklyn Bounce plans for october 2005 to release their new single and their sixth album.
