Basshunter 'Now You're Gone'

One of the biggest internet
success stories - ever!

Basshunter is a Swedish
bedroom DJ/producer, a cyber
geek who wrote a song about an
experience with meeting a girl
on the internet. The girl was
called Anna, and the song
'Boten Ana'.

Basshunter sent it to his
friends on the web, who
forwarded to their friends,
and so on until it ended up in
the hands of a local radio DJ
who played it out on air.
After its first airing the
station was inundated with
phone calls to play it again
and they added it to their
playlist.

The track then went crazy, the
whole of Sweden got caught up
in the story about his love
for a girl on the internet,
and when it was released in
Scandinavia it became the
fastest selling debut single
since Abba, and Basshunter
their biggest selling debut
artist ever!

Through word of mouse, the
track spread and it became
number 1 in Holland, Belgium
and Luxembourg - the first
ever Swedish language hit in
these countries. Germany were
next, the song went top 10,
something only Cascada & Eric
Prydz have managed from the
dance world, the track then
hung about in the top end of
the charts for 6 months..

..Fast-forward to the summer
of 2007 and an English vocal
version 'Now you're Gone' has
become the most requested
record in summer holiday
resorts around Europe, due to
it being the lead track on a
mix cd by DJ Alex. As people
return from their holiday's in
Magaluff and surrounding
islands desperate to get their
hands on a copy it's clear
that the Basshunter phenomenon
is about to hit the UK!
