About E-Rotic
E-Rotic is a German commercial Eurodance act, originally established back in 1994 by [[artist:Lyane Leigh]] and [[artist:Raz-Ma-Taz]] AKA [A=Richard Michael Smith]. Lyane and Richard had an irreconcilable argument with their manager and left the group to establish their own dance act called [[artist:S*E*X* Appeal]] in 1996. It remained a secured secret that Lyane, even if no longer with the group, was still giving her voice to E-Rotic. She can be heard on all releases until "Gimme Gimme Gimme" released in 2000. [[artist:Lydia Madajewski]] then took over the vocal duties.
It was revealed recently (and confirmed) that [[artist:David Brandes]] was the real voice of every E-Rotic rappers, apart from the very first single.
The rumour is that the first single rap was done by [[artist:Michael J. Gibbs]] but that was never confirmed.
[[artist:Jeanette Christensen]] was hired to lipsync the parts sung by Lyane Leigh and rapper Terence d'Arby was hired to lipsync the rapping of [[artist:David Brandes]].
Around October 1996, Terence d'Arby left the group and was "replaced" by another frontman: Ché Jouaner.
Jeanette Christensen left the group in 2001, followed by [[artist:Yasemin]] 2002 and Lydia Madajewski in 2004.
After their great success in Europe in the mid-90's, E-Rotic had a relative success in Japan.
In 2015 E-rotic made a comeback for the live shows with Lyane Leigh and a new rapper, Stephen Appleton.
New single "Video Starlet", produced by David Brandes, released in spring 2016.
in 2020, the classic E-rotic compilation "Greatest Tits" was first time released on double yellow and black vinyl with new mastering.
