2007 saw Ultrabeat reach the top 10 of the artist album chart with their debut album along with supporting Cascada on their debut tour. 2008 has thus far been an equally successful year for the guys. In March Mike's performances at the Clubland Live concerts were one of the highlights of the tour. The summer saw Discolights as the biggest track across Clubland in the UK and further afield right across Europe to Ibiza where it was the stand out track of the season at the Clubland night at Es Paradis in San Antonio.

The guys have now finished work on their second album, self named after the title track Discolights and it will be released on the 1st of December. The album contains 16 tracks including 14 brand new compositions that cover a variety of styles but predominantly stick to the Ultrabeat style that we all know and love.

In a few weeks the guys will be appearing live on stage again at the Clubland Live 2 tour in Belfast, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham, Manchester and Hull.

If your wondering who the guys behind the group are, Ultrabeat is Mike di Scala (pictured on the right), Chris Henry (left) and Ian Redman who all hail from Liverpool and who are also known under a whole host of different aliases as DJ's, producers and performers across many different genre's of the UK dance scene some of which you will probably recognise - Rezonance Q, BCD Project, Whelan & DiScala, M&C and ReCon to name but a few and it was through the Rezonance Q alias and the track 'Someday', that AATW first came into contact with Mike di Scala. Whilst sat in Mikes studio discussing Someday, Mike played us 'Pretty Green Eyes', a cover of the old happy hardcore track by Force & Styles. Mike has sung the majority of the Ultrabeat tracks though guest vocalist Rebecca Rudd has sung tracks like Elysium, Sure Feels Good and I Wanna Touch You.
