Groove Coverage biography

Groove Coverage are DJ Novus, Axel Konrad and the vocalists Verena Rehm (from Neuburg) and Mell Münch (from Munich)

In cooperation with Suprime Music Ingolstadt the project Groove Coverage was founded overnight by DJ Novus (Markus Schaffarzyk) and Axel Konrad in Summer 2001. Debut single Hit Me was not a big success. Supported by his both producers Axel Konrad and Ole Wierk, follow-up single Are U Ready entered the Top 20 of the Dance/Clubcharts. With the next track the final, enormous breakthrough succeeded like no one dared to imagine before.

The cover version of Mike Oldfield's classic Moonlight Shadow (originally written around John Lennon's death) went #3 of Media Control Charts and blessed DJ Novus – in the meantime resident in Ingolstadt - the with a 14-days-residence in the Top 20 of the German Single-selling Charts. Golden record for more than 250 000 sold sound storage media, nomination for an Echo 2003, Mc Mega Music Award 2003 – a dream came true ! Groove Coverage starting touring as Live-act as well as DJ-Act through all parts of Europe. At that time Mell, the lead vocalist, got pregnant. She was replaced by model Henrika Spillner in the Moonlight Shadow video (which was shot in Budapest) and by background vocalist Verena Rehm on stage.

It is said that the song Million Tears, while not released as a single, became a sleeper hit particularly popular in Singapore, where it became associated with the outlawed Salakau secret society. Due to this, Groove Coverage was advised not to play the song at their concerts in Singapore in 2019 and 2023. According to Mell, the song was written in 3 days only.

Single God is a Girl, was the fastest #1 of the German DJ Playlist and Media Control #8. It borrowed a melody piece from a Roxette's song entitled Jefferson... They even got sued for this and had to turn over 50% of their royalties and publishing income for their song. Verena appeared in the video. Simultaneously, Groove Coverage published their first album Cover Girl by the end of 2002. Then Lou Bega (famous for Mambo No. 5) became their songwriter..

Without taking a long break Groove Coverage worked on completion of the follow-up single by using again Verena and Mell's very expressive and emotional vocals. They also contributed to the vocals for the whole album.

The End (Media Control Charts # 13) did not mean the end of the group, but was already the beginning of the second album. It contained a melody covered on the eurodance song Give Me You Lovin by DIP, originally composed by Daniel Peyer. Daniel appeared in the credits as John Bakerman. The End was followed by the single Poison, a cover of an Alice Cooper song.

2004 : Poison reached position #3 in the German DJ Playlist. Groove Coverage released their next single 7 Years & 50 Days in March as maxi (along with a funny video presenting a special sort of boulimic girl). At the end of March, they performed live at Viva TV show Club Rotation. At the beginning of April, the single entered the Austrian charts directly at position #17. Then She, a slow song covering the melody of the Xmas song Stern über Bethlehem originally composed by Alfred Hans Zoller, was released in June.

Poison was released in UK and Ireland after the summer. In October, it entered the Ireland charts at position #7. The same year, Vietnamese artist Thanh Thảo covered God Is a Girl under the name Thiên Thần Bóng Đêm.

Afterwards, Runaway was released, reaching #4 in the German official dance chart. The music video, shot around the theme of a race car, featured the lengedary Kai Ebel, a German Formula 1 presentator.

Then came Holy Virgin in 2005, which was not featured on the album. This cover-version in English of the song Fata Morgana (by the Austrian group Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung) reached #2 in the German DJ playlist. Videoclip featured real-TV star Kader Loth

2006 : The next single was called On The Radio, covering the melody of the song Mann im Mond originally sung by Die Prinzen. It was a completely different song (and less powerful) than the one that had leaked on the internet in 2005.

Then came 21st Century Digital Girl. It was a cover of 21st Century Digital Boy originally sung by Bad Religion.

Their Best Of album was nominated to Grammy awards (USA) as Best Dance Recording. They started working on the 3rd album and promised a release between January and April 2006. 21st Century (and not Let It Be as it was at first announced) was finally released at the beginning of July in Germany.

Groove Coverage did a remix for Max Deejay vs DJ Miko What's Up.

The 21st Century album was already released in many European and Asian countries including Japan and Indonesia, it will be soon out in the US, China and Russia.
