Fragma, also known as the Fragma Project, are
a German dance project, originally comprising three producers.Their second
release was "Toca's Miracle", which has sold over 500,000 copies and
debuted #1 in the UK. Founded in 1998 by brothers Dirk and Marco Duderstadt,
they produced their first single "Toca Me" with experienced record
producer Ramon Zenker. When it was released the following year, it topped
several dance charts around the world, and reached number 11 in the UK Singles
Chart. In 2000, a mash-up, "Toca's Miracle" was produced, taking the
music of Fragma's "Toca Me" and placing the vocals from solo Gospel
singer Coco Star's 1997 song "I Need A Miracle" (written for Coco
Star by Rob Davis and Victor Imbres) over the top, which gained further attention
from DJs Pete Tong and Judge Jules. As Fragma and Coco were on the same record
label at the time (Positiva), the vocals were re-recorded by Coco and an
official release was made, and went straight to number one in the UK chart,and
was popular in Australia and Ireland. An album was released in 2001; Toca,
as well as two other singles; "Everytime You Need Me" (UK number 3 hit),which
featured vocals by Maria Rubia, and "You Are Alive" (UK number 4 hit)

When newly signed Roc Nation artist Rita Ora visited Clear
Channel with label boss Jay-Z on Feb. 23, it was simply to present music and
videos from her untitled debut. But in a rare move for rotation-based radio,
executives were so moved by what they heard that they walked the
Runners-produced single "How We Do (Party)" to New York's top hit
music station WHTZ (Z100) to premiere the cut on DJ JJ's afternoon show, which
is syndicated nationally through iHeartRadio and SiriusXM. Shortly after, it
was moved into rotation on the station without a campaign for radio adds.The
premiere was unorthodox for Clear Channel and Roc Nation, whose roster includes
J. Cole, Bridget Kelly and Willow Smith. Shortly after the single's debut, the
label revved its marketing strategy, pushing up the single's rollout and
capitalizing on the sudden attention surrounding the British singer."Z100
definitely raised the exposure level tenfold, which puts everything into the
fast lane. We were in go mode before; now, we're speeding," Roc Nation
publicist Jana Fleishman says. "I think Jay just knew it was the right
time and how strong the music is, how it's such a perfect fit for the
station."Listen song here:YouTube
