666 biographyThe project is produced by Thomas Detert und Mike Griesheimer, the same producers who were behind Activate some years ago. They had also produced projects such as Dyno (There Is Progress), A-Trax (Sweet Lullaby), and Boys On 33 (Slam The Jam). The members are Diablo (real name : Rene), Karin and Mandy. At first they had some problems due to their conspicuous name. "In the beginning some record shops and radio stations didn't want to sell and play our records. But nowadays people have noticed that our music doesn't concern of satanism. We are just party devils", Diablo tells 'The main idea was that we wanted to come up with something new and special. We watched different bands and their live shows. There were only happy and smiling people. We wanted to put a devil to a stage and do a dark show. That's why 666 was good name for us", Diablo explains. Diablo was actually not the real voice, he only lipsynced on stage. Their music, defined as progressive house, uses two languages : English and Spanish. 'Spanish is erotic, powerful, aggressive and little bit dark' Diablo says. Their first single was nothing else than a cover of Activate's Alarma, combined with a sample of No Good (Start The Dance) by The Prodigy. It had a great success all over Europe. The following singles, Diablo and Amokk, had the same success. Then their first album, entitled Paradoxx, was released. The newest single Bomba! was released during the Summer 1999, followed by The Demon and more recently D.E.V.I.L., announcing a new album. 'The familiar 666 style continues. We are working with a new album and I think it will be released in the end of the year', Diablo tells. 2000 : 666's following single was entitled Dance 2 Disco, reminding a little bit of the Vengaboys (according to rumors, the chorus was sampled on a verse of Pet Shop Boys - Can You Forgive Her). They also had recently relesed their second album, Who's Afraid Of, in the same familiar 666 style. Then came the singles Salute (released not confirmed) and more recently Supa Dupa Fly (on November 12th 2001). Supa Dupa Fly climbed at 7th position two weeks in a row in the Norwegian Dance Chart, and reached position #26 on the Swedish Dance Chart. Meanwhile the stage performers team changed : now we have Demon aka Khalid (25 years old) who had worked as dancer / background singer for, among others, 2 Unlimited, T-Spoon and DJ Quicksilver. Floor (26 years old) had worked as dancer / background singer for CB Milton, B.B.E and DJ Jürgen. She has also worked as a model for Diesel and Gap Star.
