Sascha Lappessen, Thomas "Alisson" Lüdke, and Ralf Kappmeier founded SASH! in 1995.[2] The previous year, the three had worked together, under the name of 'Careca', to produce a piece called "Indian Rave."[citation needed] In 1996, SASH! released "It's My Life", which became a European club hit.[3] In 1997, with Sabine Ohmes as the singer, SASH! released "Encore une fois". It reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart,[1] as well as reaching the top 10 of five countries' singles charts and the top 20 of seven countries' singles charts.[citation needed]
In the same year, SASH! produced "Ecuador", and "Stay", which both also reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart.[1]
