Biography
German trance duo Nalin & Kane scored a huge international hit record in 1997, "Beachball," which put them in the big leagues of trance producers, alongside other popular trance producers from Germany like DJ Taucher and ATB. Nalin & Kane had been producing tracks for years before breaking into the mainstream with "Beachball," however, originally releasing tracks as Nalin Inc. Then, in 1995, the duo -- Andry Nalin and Harry Kane -- started their own label, Superfly, and released a few 12" records on it. "Beachball" changed everything, and soon the two were remixing popular dance acts like BBE ("Deeper Love"), Resistance D ("Human"), Energy 52 ("Café del Mar"), and Jam & Spoon ("Stella"). ~ Jason Birchmeier, RoviWikipedia on Answers.com:

Origins and "Beachball"
The duo began working together in 1993 as Nalin Inc. and released their first 12-inch single, "Planet Orange", in 1994. They began their own label, Superfly Records in 1995, releasing the singles "The K-People" and "Backfire" before the turning point came with "Beachball". They have since had success with remixes of Energy 52's "Café Del Mar" and Da Hool's "Meet Her At The Love Parade." In late 1999, they released their debut album, Krystal Palace.
"Beachball" was notable for topping the club charts in many countries during its time of release. Like the majority of dance releases, the track has been remixed several times but none have come close to repeating the success of the original version. A cover version by Burnette was released at the same time, leading to two versions competing for chart position.
The track "Open Your Eyes" is featured on Tiësto's, In Search of Sunrise 3.
