Flip & Fill are a Manchester, England based dance act, consisting of prolific Mancunian producers/remixers, DJs Graham Turner and Mark Hall. They are signed to the All Around The World (record label) record label.

Having released tracks since 1999, they reached #34 in the UK Singles Chart in March 2001 with "True Love Never Dies", a mash-up of "Airwave" by Rank 1 and Donna Williams's True Love Never Dies, with re-recorded vocals by Kelly Llorenna. On a second release, it reached #7 in February 2002, which was higher than Airwave itself had climbed in the UK charts. The track had previously circulated as a mash-up of "Kylie Minogue vs. Airwave", but actually Kylie is not the one who sings this song at all.

In addition to Kelly Llorenna, Karen Parry has also provided vocals for the act, including on their 2002 #3 hit, Shooting Star. Jo James is another singer who provided vocals for their releases "Field Of Dreams" and a remix of the Whitney Houston classic "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". Interestingly, Jo James was the singer on the original version of Shooting Star by the Hardcore Act "Bang!". They also produced a remix of Japanese megastar Ayumi Hamasaki's song "July 1st" which was released on her album Ayu Trance 2. The album peaked at #3 on Japan's Oricon album chart.

There are many ways that Flip And Fill have been described along with their name, the official wording of the group is Flip 'N' Fill[citation needed] but many Americans always write it differently, Current Flip 'N' Fill are touring the UK Club scene, remixing and re-editing more famous classics, Including N-Trance - Set You Free, which was released in 2003 and redone in 2006, It reached #7 in 2003 and #2 in 2006, both versions are available on 12' Vinyl

Their 2002 hit "Shooting Star" was originally the 1997 Happy Hardcore track by Bang! (Bang! - Shooting Star ). Other classic Happy Hardcore tracks covered by Flip n Fill are "Field of Dreams" (Force & Styles - 1997), "Pacific Sun" (Force & Styles - 1997), "Discoland" (Tiny Tot - 1995) ). They also released a song called 'Irish Blue' which has appeared on many dance compilations.
