Urban Dance Squad ( UDS for short ; translated as “urban dance troupe”) was a Dutch crossover and funk metal band .
Band history
The five later founding members met in 1986 in Utrecht ( Netherlands ), initially only for a very successful jam session at a festival, and then founded a band under the name Urban Dance Squad . In 1989 they brought out their first record Mental Floss for the Globe , with the singles Deeper Shade of Soul and No Kid in particular achieving worldwide fame. Her second album Life 'n Perspectives Of A Genuine Crossover was released in 1991. In 1993 DJ DNA left the band and UDS had to go on without him. As a result, the massive Persona Non Grata (Latin expression for "unwanted person") came out in 1994 . The song Demagogue became a hit on the club scene.
In 1996 UDS released the album Planet Ultra . It was more in the direction of the early albums Mental Floss for the Globe and Life 'n Perspectives Of A Genuine Crossover . In 1997 DJ DNA returned and UDS started a small tour through Germany ( Rheinkultur -Festival) and the USA. In 1999 Artantica came out with the old line-up. In 2000 UDS separated.
In 2006 UDS were on tour again, but without DJ DNA. They played among others on the Lowlands Festival in Biddinghuizen (province of Flevoland , the Netherlands) to its release The Singles Collection to promote .
