Formed by Markus Boehme (born July 1972) and Martin Hensing (born January 1973), the German electronica ensemble Future Breeze became involved in the local dance music field after sending a demo to Klaus Derichs and Marc Romboy at the independent label Alphabet City. Future Breeze's first hit single, Read My Lips, was released soon after.

Markus Boehme attended organ classes while Martin Hensing learned how to play flute, before both began programming music on a home computer to create their first electronic tracks under the name of Synthetic Compulsion.

After releasing Why Don't U Dance With Me? and the chart-topping Keep the Fire Burning, Serge Menga joined them to produce How Much Can You Take? ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
