In 1991, he formed the act Clubland along with vocalist Zemya Hamilton and Btech owner Jan Ekholm. Their debut singe "Let's Get Busy" (remixed by Snap) became a worldwide hit, including No 1 in the Billboard Club Chart. The success was followed up by the hits "Hold On", "Love Strain", "Set Me Free" and "Hypnotized" who all got to the same number one position in the US and established Clubland all over the world. The band worked with many of the top producers at the time including David Morales, Steve "Silk" Hurley, E-Smoove, Eric Kupper, StoneBridge and George Morel.
