[edit] Notable singles

Distant Soundz recorded and released a cover of Cyndi Lauper's 1984 ballad, "Time after Time." The track received considerable airplay in the UK, and a video was made. Shrimpton performed the hit live on various TV appearances including Channel 4, BBC Wales, and on BBC One's Top Of The Pops. The cover is also credited as one of the few UK garage records to be played on BBC Radio 2, with Steve Wright championing the single on his afternoon show. Now widely regarded as a 'club classic', the version is still as big as ever in nightclubs across the UK and Europe.^{[citation needed]}

Following this was the DJ Sasha supported "Distant Soundz – Runaway" that became a firm Capital 95.8 favourite. Various performances of the single were made at Capital Radio ‘Party in the Parks’ and Emap ‘Feel the Noise’ events. Released on Incentive / Ministry of Sound, the single has been featured on countless compilation albums, television programmes and a Microsoft Xbox commercial.

Distant Soundz’ next single, titled "Just Wanna Luv U", featured vocalist Damae from the million-selling dance act Fragma. Again receiving support across the Capital Network, the single gained airplay both in the UK and overseas. Released on the Inferno Label, "Just Wanna Luv U" has been featured on various compilations.

The single "Stay (With The Sun Comin Up)", pending release on UK Based Gut/Gusto Records, was first supported in the UK by BBC Radio One DJ, Judge Jules.
