Duderstadt

Dirk and Marco Duderstadt discovered at an early age a hobby between them that would change the rest of their lives: making music. During this time they had to fight their way building a reputation as Producers and DJ’s through several clubs. They finally found a lasting home in the Old Daddy in Haltern.

In 1998 they manage to put together a little studio in which they produced the Herbinger track, this ended up fliping their lives upside down and giving their careers a massive boost within the industry.

It was a question of a song with a guitar that arouses interest of Ralf Zenker from No Respect Records. He then introduced the brothers to Ramon who already had successful productions to his name.

It was from this guitar song Dirk, Marco and Ramon produced the track ‘Toca me’ and finally established in 1999 the now well known Fragma project (www.fragma.de). To their surprise "Toca me" was reaching the Top of all international Dance Charts and entered No. 11 in the Uk Sales Chart.

On the year of the millennium things changed greatly for the two when the 'right' vocals came together with the 'right' track. The accapella from "Coco - I Need A Miracle" was mashed up with "Toca me" and it developed to a huge Radio- and Club hit. DJ’s from Pete Tong to Judge Jules supported the Track to death.

During this buzz period Positiva Records, which also had a contract with Coco decided to release the Track officially off the back of this. The now titled "Toca`s Miracle" entered No. 1 of the British Sales chart and stayed there for some time!

No 1 chart positions followed in Australia, Ireland and Scandinavia just to name a few. Toca’s Miracle sold more than 1 Million units and got several Gold and Platinum Awards in Australia, Great Britain, Norway and Denmark

The follow up single "Everytime You Need Me", sung by the British Maria Rubia, had the same effect on the industry and smashed in at No3 in the Uk’s Sales Chart and went to gain many awards.
