Rimini Project is an Austrian-based dance trio that emerged at the tail end of the 1990s Eurodance boom. Formed after Sarah K.
won a singing competition in Rimini, Italy, the group was curated by producer Hubert Rinder to bridge the gap between commercial pop and the burgeoning trance-influenced dance scene of Central Europe. The lineup, featuring siblings Sarah K. and Sammy B. alongside Swedish vocalist Scandinavia, provided a multi-cultural vocal palette that helped them find success across German-speaking territories and Scandinavia. Their sound identity is rooted in the 'Rimini' style of dance music: sunny, melodic, and rhythmically driving, utilizing Korg and Roland synth palettes typical of the era. Critically, they are viewed as a quintessential example of post-90s Eurodance evolution, where the genre became more polished and pop-oriented. Their influence is primarily felt in the 'Euro-Trance' and 'Hands Up' genres that dominated European clubs in the early 2000s. They occupy a cultural space of 'vacation pop,' often associated with summer hits and resort-town clubbing culture.
