Biography

L.A. Style made chart history in 1992 when their single "James Brown Is Dead" became the first rave track to appear in Billboard's weekly pop rankings. Primarily the work of producers Denzil Slemming, Maxx Mondino and Fonny DeWulf, L.A. Style debuted with the "James Brown" single, far and away their biggest hit. A self-titled LP followed in 1993, but by the time the group resurfaced a year later with the single "Raving on L.A. Style," their 15 minutes of fame had elapsed. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

L.A. Style was a Dutch electronic dance music duo, founded and produced by radio host Wessel van Diepen, who also created Nakatomi and the very successful Vengaboys.

L.A. Style had short-lived success when their 1991 song "James Brown Is Dead" appeared on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart, becoming the first EDM song of its kind (i.e. rave techno) to hit the Billboard pop charts.

They released a self-titled album as well as other singles, but despite success overseas as well as dance club play, L.A. Style's moment faded quickly and they dispersed in 1995.
