After their first album, the group switched focus from covers to creating original music. Their first single of original music, "Give me a Shake" (1997) is their only #1 single.

In 2002, Mina left the group amid pregnancy with her first child. A new member, Aki, joined the group to take her place. Since then their popularity has greatly declined and they have since decided to concentrate on solo endeavors outside of music while releasing new material periodically. In 2008, Aki left the group and Mina returned.

2) MAX is a dutch electronic music dj.

Max Wolters, born and raised in the Netherlands, started listening to electronic music at primary school; recording lots of tapes with cheesy radiosounds. A few years later he started digging a litte further, exploring the music through all kind of sorts, from the minimalest, organic spacetracks till the most explosive tekno and hardcore.

MAX begun buying records at the age of 18 and started dj'ing for an audience in may 2001 in a dj-contest, where he stranded in the semi-finals. Now a few years later MAX has already played throughout the whole country, with gigs in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Venlo, Eindhoven and Utrecht. These parties varied from small dark underground squat-parties till giant colourful stylish dance-festivals. All these experiences have brought him a clear view on how to entertain all kinds of audience.

As a dj he realizes that he has to entertain his audience, not just himself. His choice of records therefore makes sure that everybody will get and understand the beauty and power of electronic music at the end of a set. Most of the times by playing decent tracks with lively mixwork, neat uplifting suprises and a smooth banging end.
