Benjamin Hart, Hubee Held and Michael Rödiger are Wackside, one of germany´s most successful house music producers and remixers of the last years. Hart and Held produced tracks for Logic Records as the Cord Boys and gained dance charts fame with "I Can´t Take It" and "Rockin´ Myself" on Epic´s dance imprint Epidrome. Michael Rödiger is responsible for countless clubhits from the last ten years. His biggest success was "Let There Be House" with early 90s HipHouser Deskee.
