This was Frerichs' first serious attempt to release dance records after playing in live bands for many years. Amongst Humate's early offerings was the single "Love Stimulation," which made a big impact in clubs all over Europe. At about the same time, Frerichs was also busy working on other stuff such as the famous Jens project with Jens Mahlstedt -- responsible for the mega dance hit "Loops & Tings." During the mid-'90s, Frerichs set up shop in Hamburg where he remixed and produced under the guises of Humate, Goldfinger, and House of Prince. The two Humate singles released at this time -- "3" and "Sound" -- were well-received in clubs and paved the way for Frerichs to serve up his debut album, The Best of Humate. In 1998, Frerichs released the EP titled The American, which proved a winner in many countries around the world. However, he again returned to his Humate cover for the very popular club track "Choose Life" (2000). ~ David Peter Wesolowski
