Their own work includes the massive club hits "Turtle Funk" (Mixes by Dlugosch & Lange and Junior Sanchez), "I?ll Get Over You" (Mixes by Pete Heller and Ian Pooley) and "What?s On Your Mind" with mixes from Tom Novy and Milk?n?Sugar. Wackside added their talents to produce tracks for Lamont Humphreys ("Fucking Nerve") and Emel ("Free"-Album). They have also produced an as yet unreleased full album called "Doggy Bag". Their latest release is a rework of Shakatak?s classic "Down On The Street" which has been picked as title track for german television?s RTL 2 show "II Club".

In March 2000 they created a new independent platform for their work: Brickhouse Records, distributed by Peppermint Jam Distributions. Brickhouse Records features a lot of uplifting housemusic anthems by Wackside or promising new acts. One of the hottest Brickhouse tracks has is "Touch Me" by Sharon Phillips who has produced some more excellent tracks with Wackside. Expect more from her in the future. Also out on Brickhouse are the Ben Hart E.P., Kenny Blake?s cover of Steve Arrington?s "Feel So Real" featuring Wanda G. and the upcoming "Say your Prayers" by Sebastian Krieg and Tyree Cooper.

Wackside and Brickhouse Records are strongly involved in the Frankfurt club scene. Hubee Held is resident at U60311, one of germany?s leading clubs. The Brickhouse parties features world-wide top DJ?s like Knee Deep, Soulfuric?s Brian Tappert, Paolo Martini (Bini & Martini) or ATFC (Defected). They are regular guests on "House club hottest", a well responded house music mix show on Frankfurt?s dance station Planet Radio.
