Biography
Though Culture Beat remained active throughout the '90s and into the early 2000s, you could distill the group's success down to one song: the 1993 club smash Mr. Vain. Along with other Euro-dance hits from the early '90s -- Snap's Rhythm Is a Dancer, 2 Unlimited's Get Ready for This, Black Box's Strike It Up -- it took some time before Mr. Vain broke in the U.S. However, when it did, it broke big. Mr. Vain was suddenly everywhere: pop radio, sports arenas, commercial danceclubs, dance compilations, and so on. However, Culture Beat wasn't able to capitalize on the success of Mr. Vain, and the group became somewhat of a one-hit wonder, even though they continued releasing music. In the end, the group falls into the same category as forgotten popular dance acts like Technotronic and C+C Music Factory -- ultimately disposable acts with a fleeting 15 minutes in the popular club/dance spotlight. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
