2 Brothers on the 4th Floor is a Dutch eurodance band, consisting of the brothers Martin and Bobby Boer. Since their creation in 1990, the group has been fronted by Dutch singer Desire Claudette.The Boer brothers had already been experimenting with music in a small bedroom when they finally gained note in 1990, when their single Can’t Help Myself was picked up by Dutch radio stations and became an international hit. The brothers then brought together rapper Da Smooth Baron MC and singers Peggy “The Duchess” and Gale Robinson to form their stage act. The release of their next single, Turn Da Music Up was somewhat less successful, but helped the band to gain name recognition. 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor made two hit singles together before separating. Martin Boer moved into a new professional studio and started making remixes under the name Dancability Productions, making remixes for artists such as Becky Bell, Twenty 4 Seven and Luv’ (for their Megamix ’93), while Bobby Boer designed record covers and CD inlays for other artists.2 Brothers on the 4th Floor was revived by the Boer brothers in 1993. Bobby joined Martin in his studio and, after some time, released the single Never Alone. This single was the first to be launched with rapper D-Rock and singer Desirée Manders (stage name: Des’Ray). The song “Dreams”, which the title song of the band’s first album, was a song that captured the essence of Eurodance. Due to the genre’s popularity when the song was released in 1994, the song became a hit both nationally and internationally. The band’s renewed style and concept was accepted well by Dutch audience. Never Alone topped the charts for weeks and went gold. Dreams, the band’s subsequent single, went straight to number one and remained on the charts for weeks (as well as reaching the top 30 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the United States) and Let Me Be Free, its successor, remained in the top ten nationally for some time.
