Formation
Jean-Paul DeCoster and Phil Wilde met in their hometown of Antwerp, Belgium, and their first collaboration under the name of Bizz Nizz resulted in a single called "Don't Miss The Party Line" which entered the top-10 in the UK. The two then decided to continue to work together.
Jean Paul de Coster and Phil Wilde initially had created an instrumental track they called "Get Ready for This" and they decided that it needed some vocals. De Coster recalls:

By September he returned the tape to us. To our surprise, he had also added a female vocals of a certain Anita Doth, a traffic warden from Amsterdam. He told us she was a good friend of his out of the city's nightlife. Ray discussed the possibility of forming a duo to front the project. | ” |
They were so pleased with the result that they agreed to work with them as a duo, and thus 2 Unlimited was born.
