Andry Nalin is part of the hit duo Nalin & Kane, best known for its 1997 summer smash hit "Beachball". Besides of their production and remix work as well as his national gigs, Andry is spinning all over Europe.

   During this time he met Ralf Beck in 1993, who just returned from the Columbia-University/USA. They both were in fullaccord with their thinking about dancemusic and a few month later their first project was born: Nalin I.N.C. If you listen to their very first release "Apalusa" you already have a clue about the gifted combination of both preferenced & talents. Andry himself has this analysis: "Personally I like to do work with grooves and I love to do the arrangement, but Harry Cane is the best man on earth to give our tracks a fundamental musical base. At the end my clubexperience is very important for the final mix, after years of djing you know how to surpirse the crowd.

   Without resting on their first lorels they prooved their hit-abilitys with the track "Planet Orange" at the end of 1994 on the so far unknown label Shampoo-Records. Years later the B-side of this record would open up new chances for them.

   In 1995 both founded their own label called Superfly Records and changed their projektname to Nalin & Kane. Their creative development was reaching another level, best documented with their 10.005 called: "Beachball". This track smashed all the european charts in 1997 and 1998, in Germany they sold over 200.000 copies.

   It was 1993. A young DJ named Andry Nalin was attending a small private party where he met a certain Ralf Beck (later to be known as "Harry Cane"), who was just gaining his first really interesting experience as a producer of electronic music. A few weeks earlier he had been hired to co-produce a new album with the band "Elektric Music", which had been founded by former members of Kraftwerk.

   These two very diverse characters quickly established that they were not only on very similar wavelengths, but that they also shared the same great love of music. A few weeks later they met "to produce something together" for the first time. This resulted in such works as "Nalin INC: Planet Violet" or "Call U". These titles were released on the underground "Shampoo" label.

   Following their first critical successes in the German dance scene, they decided to form their own label in 1995, so that they could be more independent and compose more freely. "Superfly Records" was born. Actually, the two intended to just release their titles on vinyl and introduce progressive dance music in the clubs. But their success caught up with them.

   The label's fifth release (Nalin & Kane Vol. 3) contained a track entitled "Beachball". Within a few months this underground vinyl release developed into the summer hit of 1997.

   "Beachball" catapulted to No. 1 in the German dance charts and stayed there for 10 weeks! This resulted in Top 10 chartings in the German sales charts, as well as placement in charts throughout Europe. Now, everything that Nalin & Kane touched turned into a hit, such as the legendary remix of Da Hool's "Meet Her At The Loveparade".

   Over the last few years Nalin & Kane have become the most in-demand production team on the European dance scene. Their remixes for Jam & Spoon, Kylie Minogue or Energy 52 have earned cult status. And now everyone is anxiously anticipating the release of their new, long-awaited album, which will be released by "Urban" this autumn.

   Besides their DJing and production work, the two continued to expand their "Superfly" label, developing an incredible feeling for future sounds and styles. In the following year such acts as "Phil Fuldner (title: The Final; top 10 in the Media Control charts) or "Dial M For Mogui" (title: Beatbox; Media Control Top 30) released their debut singles on Superfly and also achieved the crossover from being "cool underground tracks" to becoming first club and then chart hits.

   Today, Superfly stands for innovation and progress within the dance scene, and is appreciated by the recording industry as a gold mine of talented artists and as a reliable club trend barometer. For Andry Nalin and Harry Cane the future of their label is to remain Europe's most "in" DJ label.
