Maxx ist ein deutsches Eurodance-projekt, das mitte der 1990er jahre mit hits wie „Get-A-Way“ und „No More (I Can't Stand It)“ international erfolgreich war. The project is most recognized in Europe for its unique mixture of high energy dancefloor beats, female singing and raggamuffin (ragga) style rap. The name Maxx is an abbreviation for „Maximum Xstasy.“
Projektgeschichte
Gründung (1993)
The Maxx project was result of the successful but short-lived collaboration between music executive David Brunner and music producer Juergen Wind (J. Wind) under the German Dance-pop label Blow Up (Intercord). Before forming the project in mid-1993, Brunner had teamed with Wind to release the single, "Another Night," for M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy under Hansa Records (BMG Berlin). Wind had produced the single with his co-producer Frank Hassas (Quickmix) under the team name Freshline. Following the release "Another Night" in Summer 1993, Brunner and Wind quickly began developing the debut Maxx single, "Get-A-Way," under Blow Up/Intercord. Wind handled the music production with Hassas while Brunner mapped out the marketing, promotion, distribution and sales strategies for the music. To avoid conflicts with Hansa/BMG and remain anonymous in the Maxx song credits, the team used producer aliases and a pseudonym in place of the name Freshline. Wind and Hassas were credited as "George Torpey" and "Dakota O'niel" under the team name "The Movement." Brunner was credited as the Executive Producer under the name "The Hitman." Olaf Jeglitza (the rapper of M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy) received false credits under the name "Dawhite" due to his strong affiliation with Wind and Hassas and their production company Freshline Records. In reality, Jeglitza had no involvement in the production or songwriting for Maxx. The raggamuffin (ragga) style rap lyrics of Maxx were composed by songwriter Bruce Hammond Earlam (from Bruce & Bongo). Due to contractual restraints and other label conflicts, Earlam could not officially receive credit for his songwriting role in the project and therefore went uncredited. Maxx rapper Boris Köhler (Gary Bokoe) received Earlam's songwriting credits instead
„Get-A-Way“ und „No More (I Can't Stand It)“ (1994)
The debut single "Get-A-Way" featured vocals from Köhler and session-singer Samira Besic. Due to unknown circumstances, she was forced to depart the project before filming could begin on the music video for the single. A dancer and model named Eliz Yavuz (Alice Montana) was quickly hired to take Besic's place and mime her vocals for the video. In the early stages of the promotion for the single, Yavuz and Köhler were featured together in the initial press photos for Maxx. Yavuz was also falsely advertised as the voice of the single.
"Get-A-Way" was officially released in Germany by Blow Up via Intercord on October 27, 1993. The single became an overnight success in the country reaching No.11 on the charts and remained there for over 26 weeks. It later earned Gold status in Germany for selling over 400,000 units. The single was also a major success in neighboring countries like Austria where it reached No.3 and in Switzerland where it reached No.8. In the United Kingdom, "Get-A-Way" had reached No. 4 on the charts and had later earned Silver status in the country for selling over 200,000 units. The single was also successful in Scotland reaching No. 6 and Ireland at No.8. Thanks to the promotional efforts of Remixed Records, the single was an even bigger success in Scandinavia. In Sweden it charted at No.3, in Denmark at No.4, Finland at No.5, and Norway at No. 8. "Get-A-Way" was also a success in Belgium, The Netherlands, Israel and France while also appearing in the Eurochart Hot 100.
After an intense search in Germany for a replacement singer for Besic, British singer-songwriter Linda Meek was discovered early in 1994. After joining the project as the new lead singer, she immediately began performing live gigs with Köhler as Maxx in Europe. After their debut performance on Top of the Pops, Meek and Köhler then began recording vocals for the second Maxx single "No More (I Can't Stand It)." The single was offically released on March 1st, 1994 and was a massive success like it's predecessor reaching the Top 5 in over 18 countries. The success of both singles lead to recurring appearances on Top of the Pops and performances on other major music chart shows in Europe like France's Dance Machine, Italy's Superclassifica Show and MTV Europe. By mid-1994, "Get-A-Way" had sold over 1.1 million units across Europe. While Meek didn't originally sing vocals on "Get-A-Way" or appear in the music video for that single, she became closely associated with the single by the media due to her being the only single to ever perform the song live with Köhler. Meek was also featured in various German language pop culture/teen magazines alongside Köhler. In the magazine POP/Rocky, she was referred to as "Die Engländerin Linda Meek", "Die Stimme von Maxx" (The Englander Linda Meek, The Voice of Maxx).
At the height of Maxx's success in mid-1994, Wind and Brunner were starting to have notable success with M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy as well. Wind and Hassas had produced the hit singles "Automatic Lover (Call for Love)" and "Run Away" under Hansa/BMG. The single "Another Night" was also beginning to grow in popularity in Canada and Europe alongside the massive success of the Maxx hits. At this phase, Brunner had taken over the music publishing duties for both projects through his publishing company Maxximum Songs/Maxximum Music.
Following the success of "Get-A-Way" and "No More (I Can't Stand It)," Wind and Hassas immediately began work on the debut Maxx album To The Maxximum. The duo produced a total of 13 new music tracks for the album while simultaneously producing Space Invaders, the sophomore album of M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy. To The Maxximum was officially released in June 16, 1994 and had reached No. 22 on the German charts. The album was also a major success in Scandinavia, reaching No. 10 in Sweden and No. 6 in Finland. It also peaked at No.28 on the European Top 100 Albums chart. While the album was a commercial success in Europe, it still failed to match the massive commerical sales of the first two singles. The album had also failed in key territories like the United Kingdom where it had peaked at No. 66.
The Maxx album track "You Can Get It" was then picked to be the third single and was released in September 1994. The single reached No. 21 in the UK, No.13 in Finland and peaked at No.31 on the Eurochart Hot 100. While still commercially successful, the single did not reach the same level of success as "Get-A-Way" and "No More (I Can't Stand It)." In October 31, 1994, the Maxx song "Power of Love," was released exclusively on a Bravo Hits compilation music CD called "Bravo Dance X-Mas."
Due to the success of "Another Night" in Canada, Clive Davis of Arista Records had chosen to bring M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy the U.S. market, despite Maxx's greater commercial success in the European market at the time.
Rückgang (1995)
By 1995, Maxx had begun to struggle to produce new dance hits on the music charts. The album track "I Can Make You Feel Like" was selected to be the fourth single release in May 1995. The single only received distribution in the United Kingdom via Pulse-8 Records and peaked at No.56 on the singles charts in that country.
The fifth and final single "Move Your Body" was released in October 1995. The single heavily sampled the hit "I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Real feat. The Mad Stuntman. It charted in Austria peaking at No.18 and in Finland at No.16. The single was not distributed in any other key territories. A music video for "Move Your Body" was filmed starring Meek and Köhler. The duo also performed the single live on ZDF Television in Germany for the music program called 'Power Vision.' The ZDF television performance by Meek and Köhler was the last time the duo performed together as Maxx. Due to declining record sales, creative differences and other major conflicts within the team, Maxx officially disbanded late in 1995.
Comeback (2014 - Gegenwart)
After almost two decades, Köhler resurfaced on March 15, 2014 and did a live performance at Club Onniteekki in Seinäjoki, Finland with a different singer. Two years later, he appeared again as Maxx at a '90s festival at the Velodrom in Berlin Germany.
Late in December 2016, an official Maxx website surfaced online announcing the reunion between original vocalist Linda Meek (now known by the singer name 'Elyse') and the Maxx founders David Brunner and Juergen Wind. The website revealed their new plans for an official relaunch of Maxx without Köhler's involvement and a new European tour in 2017 with only Meek involved. On August 8th, 2017, Köhler did his final live performance in Katowice, Poland under the name "Gary B. from Maxx" with an unknown singer.
On August 25th, 2017, Meek made her highly anticipated comeback performance as Maxx at the "We Love The 90's Estonia" festival in Tallinn. Today, she continues to tour across Europe as Maxx while periodically using different rappers in her live show to perform the raggamuffin style rap verses on stage.

Real McCoy ist ein Deutsches Eurodance-projekt, das mitte der 1990er jahre crossover hits "Another Night," "Automatic Lover (Call for Love)," "Run Away," "Love & Devotion," "One More Time," "Come and Get Your Love"and the platinum selling album "Another Night." The project name ("Real McCoy") is a special English phrase, and is named much like "the one and only truth."
Projekt Geschichte
The project was the result of the successful collaboration between of music producer Jürgen Wind (J. Wind), music producer Frank Hassas (Quickmix) and rapper Olaf Jeglitza (O-Jay) under their music production company Freshline Records. Prior to forming the project in 1989, the team had produced a number of different projects under changing names (i.e. The Alliance, The Admirers, The All-Stars, RAP IV RAP) in the 1980s. When ZYX Records CEO, Reinhard Piel, commissioned the team to create a new cover version of the Technotronic hit „Pump Up the Jam“ for Germany, Jeglitza composed new rap verses for the new cover version. The new version (titled Pump Up the Jam RAP) was released under the project name M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy. The single became a surprise success peaking at No.16 in November 1989. The follow-up single „It's On You“ was released in 1990 and reached No.11 on German charts while also charting successfully in Austria, France, and Switzerland. The single also hit No.1 in 12 other countries in Europe and sold a total of 2 million units. The single featured vocals from singer Patricia Petersen (Patsy) and rap from Jeglitza. When ZYX requested a music video and a live tour based on the success of the single, a Frenchman of African descent named Georges Mario („Shampro“) became the frontman/rapper M.C. Sar. Unbeknownst to the public, Mario was a really a lip-sync artist that had been hired to mime Jeglitza's rap vocals and play the M.C. Sar character for live performances and the music video. Jegliza remained anonymous during this early phase of the project. Four more singles („Don't Stop.“ „Make A Move,“ „Let's Talk About Love,“ and „No Showbo“) and an album (On The Move!) were later released. Each of these follow-up failed in comparison to the commercial sales of the first two singles. As a result, Wind, Hassas and Jeglitza discontinued their relationship with ZYX records in 1992.
Another Night (1993-1995)
After leaving ZYX Records, Wind negotiated a new deal for Freshline with Hansa Records/BMG Berlin in late 1992. A decision was then made to reinvent the musical style of M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy from Hip House to Eurodance and Pop. Wind wrote and produced the project's new single („Another Night“) with Hassas while Jeglitza wrote new rap verses for the single. After testing out Petersen's voice on the single, Wind felt dissatisfied with the quality of the vocals and began a search for a new vocalist. Singer Karin Kasar was later identified thanks to a producer duo known as the Berman Brothers (Frank and Christian Berman). At the time Kasar had been under contract with the brothers doing session work for them. Wind selected her as Petersen's replacement after hearing a demo of her voice on the single. Before she could officially participate in the project, a deal was first made between Wind and the brothers. In exchange for Kasar's participation, the brothers would be listed as producers alongside Freshline as „Freshline & The Berman Brothers“ in the song credits. The brothers would also be allowed to make official remixes for the single. Once an agreement was finalized, Kasar was set to take part in the project. However, the executives at Hansa/BMG had objections to her playing the frontwoman due to her being overweight at the time. To resolve the dilemma, David Brunner, A&R at Hansa/BMG, and Wind decided to reduce Kasar's role to that of an anonymous session-singer. Petersen remained in the project as the frontwoman while miming Kasar's vocals for live performances and music videos. Mario was initially set to remain in the frontman role, but Brunner and Wind decided to remove him from the project while still keeping "M.C. Sar" in the projekt-name. Jeglitza was then promoted into the role of frontman role under his music alias "O-Jay." The rap verses were recorded with Wind at ____ in ___ while Kasars ocals were recorded with the brothers at Boogie Park Studios in Berlin. A mix for the single created by the Berman Brothers was chosen by Wind to be the official single version. Andy Selleneit, BMG Berlin's CEO, strategized with Wind and Brunner to map out a success strategy for the single in Europe. Under the name „D.N.B.“, Brunner was credited as Executive producer even though Wind and Hassas were responsible for the production. Jeglitza also receieved additional producer credits.
When released in the Summer of 1993, "Another Night" was only a minor hit in Europe at first. The single had reached No.18 in Germany but had barely made it into the Top 100 in several other European countries. Following the release of the single, Wind and Brunner decided to form a new project called Maxx under the German dance-pop label Blow Up/Intercord. Wind and Hassas produced the single under the aliases "George Torpey" and "Dakota O'niel" and the team name "The Movement." Brunner was credited as executive producer of the single under the name "The Hitman." The debut Maxx single "Get-A-Way" was released in October 1993 and became e a major commercial success in Europe alongside the growing success of "Another Night."
By mid-1994, M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy had begun to achieve notable commercial success. Thanks to the promotional efforts of BMG in Canada, "Another Night" had suddenly hit No.1 in the Spring of 1994 in the country and had stayed there for several weeks. The follow-up singles "Automatic Lover (Call for Love)" and "Run Away" and the album Space Invaders were released in Europe in 1994 and became successes on the charts as well. For live performances and music videos, Petersen mimed Kasar's vocals while Jeglitza performed over enhanced playbacks of his own voice. Singer Vanessa Mason was added to the live act later that year as an additional singer due to her having a similar voice to Kasar.
After noticing how quickly "Another Night" had reached No.1 in Canada in 1994, Arista Records CEO Clive Davis became interested in bringing M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy to the U.S. market. This wasn't the first time Davis sought to bring a European dance project to prominence in the U.S. market. He had previously brought the Swedish Pop group Ace of Base to massive success in America in 1994. Once a new deal was finalized between Arista and BMG, the project name was shortened to Real McCoy and an all new release of the Space Invaders album and it's three singles was quickly planned for 1995. The project was officially re-branded as a trio act featuring Jeglitza, Petersen and Mason. The album was re-titled Another Night. The cover art, imagery and marketing for the album was completely changed to present a lighter romantic tone. The album track "Love & Devotion," was selected to be the fourth single release. Several album tracks were removed and a new team of producers were hired by Arista to write and co-produce three new cover songs ("Come and Get Your Love," "Ooh Boy," "If You Should Ever Be Lonely (Deep in the Night)") and an original track ("Sleeping with an Angel") for the new release. "Come and Get Your Love" became the fifth single and a double A-sided single featuring "Ooh Boy" and "Sleeping with an Angel" was the final single release.
Thanks to the combined promotional efforts of Arista and BMG, Real McCoy became a mainstream commercial success in 1995. "Another Night" quickly reached No.1 on the U.S. dance charts and remained there for over 45 weeks. "Run Away" achieved Gold status in the U.S. and Silver in England. "Come and Get Your Love" reached No.1 on the U.S. dance charts as well. The massive commercial success of the three singles drove the Another Night album to Platinum status in the United States, Canada and Australia. While Real McCoy's success was on the rise in 1995, the Maxx project had quickly begun to decline due to the project's inability to produce new hits on the charts in Europe. By the end of 1995, the Maxx project had completely disbanded.
One More Time (1997-1998)
In 1997, a new Real McCoy album One More Time was released. When Petersen departed the project, Wind produced the album without Hassas and support from a new team of producers. American songwriter/producer Brent Argovitz became involved in the production while also working together with Jeglitza as a songwriter on the project. The production team previously hired by Arista to produce cover songs for the Another Night album returned to co-produce new songs with Wind. The Berman Brothers also became involved in the actual production for this album as well instead of only doing remixes.
David Brunner was no longer involved with Real McCoy
Early in the planning phases, Petersen had unexpectedly departed the project. Argovitz discovered singer Lisa Cork as Petersen's replacement. As a result, Kasar did not return to record vocals for the second album. Mason and Cork recorded vocals for the album instead.
The lead single from the album (also called "One More Time") peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a massive success in Australia reaching Platinum status. It also became a Top 20 hit on both Rhythmic/Dance format radio and on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. Despite the chart success of the single, the album itself failed to repeat the same success of the Another Night album. Two more singles ("I Wanna Come") and "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!") were released in 1997 from the album and became commercial failures. The disappointing commercial sales of the album and the final singles lead to the quick demise of the lineup in 1997. In 1998, BMG re-released the original Space Invaders album, under the title Real McCoy - Love & Devotion in Germany. Petersen recorded a solo single "Money 4 Me" that same year with ? david brunner.
Continuation and hiatus (1999-2009)
Between 1999 and 2000 major changes happened ___ , two new Real McCoy singles were released with an all new lineup and Jeglitza ____ . Rapper Jason Ammon and singers Gabriele Koopmans and Ginger Maria Kamphuis were marketed as the 'new' Real McCoy. The first single released with the new lineup was a re-recorded version of "It's On You." Koopmans and Kamphuis recorded new vocals for the song while Jeglitza re-recorded his original rap verses. A music video was filmed for the single in Miami, Florida starring Ammon, Koopmans and Kamphuis with a cameo from Jeglitza. Ammon mimed Jeglitza's rap vocals in the music video.
Late in _ 1999, Jeglitza secured the Real McCoy trademark
The second single titled "Hey Now" was released in 2000. The single would be the final Real McCoy song released under BMG Berlin. featuring rap from Ammon and singing from Koopmans, and Kamphuis. Both singles became commercial failures resulting in the demise of the new lineup.
In 2006, Jeglitza collaborated with the Polish band Ich Troje under the name Real McCoy to create the song "Follow My Heart." The group represented the band song in Poland at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest.[1] The song, however, failed to qualify for the grand final. In early 2007, Jeglitza released a Real McCoy song titled "People are still Having Sex" was released in Germany. The single was a cover of the famous La Tour single of the same name.
In August 2009, Jeglitza performed as Real McCoy with singers Debbie Butts and Gemma Louise Sampson for DJ BoBo's "DJ BoBo and Friends" concert in Engelberg, Switzerland.[2][3] Jeglitza also recorded the track "Two Hearts" with Butts and Sampson, but the track was never released officially.
