For many years Brooklyn Bounce was the cool Swedish Ulrica, the fiery Chilean Alexandra and the lively Diablo. And not to forget, the two masterminds and producers in the background, Dennis Bohn and Matthias Menck. But after many successful years and hundreds of performances together, Ulrica and Alexandra have decided to, starting in June, leave their work as singers and dancers in the band and pursue new endeavors. One switch already took place in Brooklyn Bounce when front man Damon left and Diablo enriched the dance formation. With the new formation, their success only increased and with 360,000 copies of the single “Bass, Beats & Melody” sold, rung in the second chapter of Brooklyn Bounce.

Now the third success chapter for Brooklyn Bounce has started. Together with NESTLÉ SCHÖLLER and VIVA, in a nationwide casting action, two new singers and dancers were sought. A total of eight final contestants competed on VIVA to join the band. With the help of VIVA-viewers, the competition was won by 20-year-old Noreen from Berlin and 24-year-old Katie, a native of Australia, who lives Cologne. They have been the new Brooklyn Bounce girls since the beginning of September. Together with Diablo, they currently perform the new single “X2X (We Want More!)”, which will be released at the beginning of October.

“After switching to our new record company Polydor, our new pieces are more progressive than ever, but at the same time also more song oriented and more Brooklyn Bounce than ever before. In the future we want to concentrate more on ourselves and our sound. The loyal fans are the best motor for that,” says Dennis Bohn about the upcoming Brooklyn Bounce album “X-pect the Un-X-pected!” (release date: September 2004). Together with Matthias Menck, Bohn is the mastermind behind the progressive house sensation from Hamburg, Brooklyn Bounce. With Matthias Menck he has to date produced, including the current releases, four albums and 14 Brooklyn Bounce singles, plus several special releases, hit compilations and so forth. “The third chapter of Brooklyn Bounce has started. We are happy about our new girls, Noreen and Katie, who together with Diablo will really excite the fans in the clubs,” promises Matthias Menck. And Diablo says, “Team spirit is really important for me. With Noreen and Katie we have found a strong, new line-up that the fans can expect a lot from – we want more!“
