The band released D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat in 2003. The first single "Move your Feet" was the most played songs on Danish radio and eventually made the charts in 13 countries including Australia, France and Denmark. "Move your Feet" is also available on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy soundtrack. The follow up single "Rhythm Bandits" has made the singles charts in the UK and Australia.
