Shortly after, his remix of the US number 1 hit “Pussycat Dolls feat. Busta Rhymes - Don’t Cha” attracted massive attention and skyrocketed to the top position of the Dance Charts. Almost simultaneously, his remix of the electro hit of the year 2005 “Coburn – We Interrupt This Program” was released on Swings Records followed by another smasher, “Fly Away ft. Rufus Martin”, which was eagerly snapped up by Ministry of Sound and became a massive club hit around the globe.
