"No Limit" is a song recorded by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited.
Release and reception
"No Limit" was 2 Unlimited's fifth single released in January 1993. It was the first single released from their second album No Limits!.
Like previous releases, the UK version of the single removed all of the raps from Raymond Slijngaard, leaving just Anita Dels' vocals. One word from the rap was kept, the word 'Techno' (from the line "I'm making techno and I am proud") which was looped and repeated during the middle of the song, turning the line into "Techno! Techno! Techno! Techno!" and giving the song an extra vocal hook.
To this day, "No Limit" is one of the most well known Eurodance songs and was a worldwide hit, selling 2.8 million copies. It topped many European charts including the United Kingdom, Finland, Denmark and Spain. It peaked at number 25 in the American Dance charts. It was Europe's biggest-selling song for 1993.
