Ultrabeat

Ultrabeat is a British electronic music group formed in Liverpool in 2002, best known for their energetic blend of dance, trance, and commercial club music. The original core members, Mike Di Scala and Chris Henry, began collaborating after meeting through the vibrant North West UK club scene. Ultrabeat first gained major recognition with their debut single, "Pretty Green Eyes," which became a chart-topping hit in 2003, reaching number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.

Throughout the early 2000s, Ultrabeat developed a reputation for their euphoric sound, catchy melodies, and high-energy live performances, which helped to popularize the "Scouse house" genre—a style of dance music associated with Liverpool and the surrounding region. Following the success of their breakthrough single, the duo released further hits including "Feelin' Fine," "Elysium (I Go Crazy)," and "Better Than Life," affirming their place in the UK dance music scene. Ultrabeat's self-titled debut album was released in 2007, featuring collaborations with vocalists such as Rebecca Rudd and MC Whizzkid.

The album's combination of classic dance hooks, trance-inspired synths, and accessible pop sensibilities brought the group mainstream attention and widespread airplay in clubs and on radio. In addition to their own music, Ultrabeat became sought-after remixers and producers, working with notable acts in the electronic music world and contributing to the evolution of commercial dance music during the mid-2000s. Over the years, their lineup experienced changes, with Di Scala pursuing solo projects and other musical ventures, while the Ultrabeat brand remained active in DJ sets and club events.

Celebrated for their vital impact on the UK dance and clubbing landscape, Ultrabeat's legacy endures through their anthemic tracks and continued influence on new generations of producers and DJs.
