The story of Culture Beat is tightly connected to the history of German Dancefloor.

Their 1993 global hit „Mr. Vain“ topped the charts in 13 countries, including Germany, the U.K., and France, and became a dancefloor classic. Equally successful was the album “Serenity” - with its additional singles “Got to Get It” and “Anything”. An album that many experts judge as a milestone in the history of dance.

Culture Beat was founded in 1989 by the late Torsten Fenslau - a DJ at the legendary Dorian Gray Club in Frankfurt. After his tragic death at the end of 1993 his younger brother Frank took over Culture Beat and produced the albums "Inside Out" with the hit Singles "Inside Out" and "Crying in the Rain" and "Metamorphosis" with hits like "Rendez-Vous" and "Pay No Mind".

"Mr. Vain" continues to be a cultural phenomenon, used in over 60,000 TikTok videos and featured in the 2024 Apple TV film Wolfs (starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney) proving its lasting influence across generations.
