Who the Hell Was 'Mr Saxobeat Anyway?

Thump went in search of the figure who inspired one of the world's most enduring Eurodance anthems.

Man is a curious animal. We wander through the labyrinth of life hoping to discover some kind of ontological truth. Ever since our ancestors developed the ability to stand upright, the question and the attendant quest for an answer has been our be all and end all.

There are big questions – why are we here? What's the point of life? What happens when we die? – and small questions – What's so great about parma ham? – knotty questions – Are BOGOF deals in Morrisons every worth buying? – and then, finally, the questions we forget to ask.

One of those is this: who the hell was Mr Saxobeat?

Find out over on Thump.
