Sash! is a German DJ/producer team fronted by Sascha Lappessen, who works in the studio with Ralf Kappmeier and Thomas "Alisson" Lüdke. They had a string of hits in the UK in 1997-8 with "Encore Une Fois", "Ecuador", "Stay" and "Mysterious Times", all of which peaked at #2 in the charts (in fact, they hold the record for having the most #2 singles (a total of five) there without ever reaching #1). They are still active today, but with less success. Their last album was never released in the United Kingdom. Sash! have always been acclaimed for their unique ability to create popular dance hits incorporating the music style and language of a particular ethnic group. This can be seen by simply examining the group's discography. "Stay", "Mysterious Times" and "Just Around The Hill" were performed in English, "Encore une Fois" in French, "Adelante" and "Ecuador" in Spanish and "Ganbareh!" in Japanese.
