Dr. Alban

Pioneering the sound of early nineties Eurodance, Dr. Alban helped define a genre that blended reggae-influenced vocals with propulsive electronic beats and bright, radio-ready production. His vocal style, built on a rapid-fire, melodic delivery closer to toasting than traditional singing, set him apart from his peers and gave the Eurodance scene one of its most distinctive voices.

His commercial peak came in the early nineties when he scored substantial international chart success, bringing a high-energy, infectious sound to audiences well beyond Europe. The combination of dancehall rhythms and synthesiser-driven club production made his music a staple of the era, and tracks from that period still appear regularly in nostalgia-driven DJ sets and compilations.
