Netherlands in 1997. Widely regarded as one of the originators of the Dutch trance sound, the group have produced a number of dancefloor hits since their conception. Although the two members of the group (Benno De Goeij andPiet Bervoets ) had worked together before, Rank 1 (a name first used in 1999) was their first project with commercial success.Their biggest hit commercially was the 1999 track "Airwave", which reached #10 in the
UK Singles Chart and #25 in theBillboard Hot Dance/Club Play charts. This was later re-released by Rank 1 remixed with added vocals as "Breathing (Airwave 2003)", and also provided the base for a noted mash up with Donna Williams, as "True Love Never Dies", which was later vocally re-recorded usingKelly Llorenna , by Flip and Fill.Discography
