Unique II is an Austrian Eurodance project founded in 1992 by producers Erwin Geppner and Werner Freistätter. The group followed the classic Eurodance model of a rotating cast of vocalists, most notably featuring the duo of Jade Davies and B-Nice during their commercial peak.
Their sound identity is defined by high-fidelity production, utilizing the Korg M1 and Roland JV-series synth palettes that dominated 90s radio. They achieved significant international success with their 1996 reimagining of Matthew Wilder's 'Break My Stride,' which became a global club staple and reached the top of the charts in Austria and New Zealand. Critically, they are viewed as masters of the 'commercial Euro' sound, prioritizing hook-driven accessibility over the underground experimentation of the techno scene. Their influence persists in the '90s revival' circuits, representing a specific moment where European pop and club culture became indistinguishable. They occupy a similar space to acts like Real McCoy and DJ Company, bridging the gap between house music and mainstream pop through high-energy arrangements and dual-vocal dynamics.
