Jean-Paul De Coster, Phil Wilde, Raymond Lothar Slijngaard, Anita Dels, Romy Snoeijers Van Ooijen, Marion Van Iwaarden Profile: Popular Eurodance duo founded by Belgian producers Jean-Paul de Coster and Phil Wilde. First released as an instrumental in spring 1991, "Get Ready For This" received an immediate success (#2 in the UK charts). Conscious of their popularity, Wilde & De Coster wanted a more accessible, formatted formula for their project to grow. Raymond Lothar Slijngaard was then contacted to write lyrics and add a rap to the track. On his suggestion, Anita Dels (a singer from the Amsterdam club scene) joined in as the female vocalist. The new re-version of "Get Ready For This" was released in september 1991 and helped to perpetuate the success of 2 Unlimited around the world. The following single, "Twilight Zone", did even better in the charts and became a well known club anthem. A full album announced two more succesful tracks: "Workaholic" and "The Magic Friend". Their second opus, "No Limits!", was released in 1993. It's popularity was such that no more than five singles were taken out of it. Among them, "No Limit" and "Tribal Dance", now considered as Eurodance classics. The decline of 2 Unlimited started as soon as their typical sound was reproduced by other Eurodance acts. By the time of "Real Things" (1994), their distinctive flavour was shared with hundreds of marketed clones. In 1996, a complicated relationship between Ray and Anita precipitate the breaking of 2 Unlimited. For a moment, a background vocalist was due to replace Anita beside Ray, but ultimately, she refused the contract offered to her. A relaunch attempt (2 Unlimited 2) featuring two female singers (Romy (2) and Marion Van Iwaarden) was tested, but only had a mitigated success. Both singers left once their contracts ended in 1998. Recent petitions asking for the return of 2 Unlimited were ignored as Ray and Anita do not wish to work together again.
