Clubzone biography

The man behind Clubzone was Mike Koglin who had been working closely with Logic Records since his first release dating back to 1988. Being a fanatic house music keyboardist and programmer, he moved from Germany to London in 1990 to pursue his professional career as producer and remixer. Since then his programming and remixing credits included names like The Shamen, Lena Fiagbe, The Sugarcubes, Bass Bumpers and Alison Limerick.

Clubzone is a team effort with late rapper Richy Lyte (whose work with the KLF and N-Trance needed no introduction). Nat Brown lent her vocal talents to Clubzone's Hands Up, after having completed an extensive world tour with Felix the previous year.

Hands Up was - as the title suggested - a truly uplifting Euro House track with additional club mixes and a special Alex Party remix. After successfully being launched on Ibiza this summer, it went Top 40 in the UK, and charted #1 at Hitmakers and #3 at Billboard in the U.S.

On year later, the pop/dance duo Clubzone hit again the chart ceiling with their new club thriller single Passion Of The Night on Logic Records. Nat was replaced by the gifted vocalist Beverli Skeete, whose credits include background vocals for David Bowie, Carleen Anderson, and Chaka Khan, as well as a current project with Tears For Fears. Ricky Lyte co-wrote Passion Of The Night with Mike Koglin, Clubzone's producer.

Passion Of The Night was a heat-driven, decadent, organ-rooted anthem that filled you up with contagious energy and hearty vibes! Included on the 12 vinyl and CD-5 are three mixes whose sounds vary from European Hi-NRG in the Original and New mixes, to fundamental house in the Beverli Does the UK Club Mix. Also included on the single, for nostalgic pleasures, is a bonus 1995 remix of Hands Up.

Ready for the streets and clubs on November 6, 1995, Passion Of The Night was destined to be a hot commodity this season ! In addition, a hi-energy video shot in the UK has been created to complement the vigour of Skeete's powerful voice and the overall intensity of Passion Of The Night.

Mike Koglin released his first solo single entitled On The Way. 2 years later, he released The Silence in 2000, a techno cover of Depeche Mode track.
