| 12": Toca Me[GG020]
Released 6/99 on Gang Go Music (Orbit Records).
This is a promo of a banging instrumental trancer that has now been released on Additive Records. The In Petto RMX has a slight industrial feel to the track, where the closest comparison I can make is to the climax of the Original 3 'n 1 remix of Energy 52's 'Cafe del Mar'. The mid-track breakdown features delicious Spanish guitar licks before hurtling off towards a huge finale. The Club Mix is more mainstream, dropping the industrial sound in preference for a more commercial sound.
| 12": Toca Me (Lmt. Ed. Remixes)[GG020R]
Released 8/99 on Gang Go Music (Orbit Records). This is a limited edition release of further remixes of what has become a huge track.
| CDS: Toca Me[CDTIV-120]
Released 1999 on Positiva Records. Thanks to Brian Harris for this information.
| 12": Toca's Miricle[12TIV128]
Released 4/00 on Posative Records. Track 1 written by Ramon Zenker, Dirk Duderstadt, Marco Duderstadt, Victor Imbrez & Rob Davies. Vocals on track 1 by Coco. Track 2 written by Ramon Zenker, Dirk Duderstadt, Marco Duderstadt. Track 2 produced by Ramon Zenker with lyrics by J Friese and Ramon Zenker. Another revamp of 'Toca Me', this time round being promoted to 'Miricle' status - not sure the track actually refelcts that though. The Club Mix is vocally and quite commercial sounding - i'm sure this will be big in mainstream clubland. The Dub Mix is a welcome addition for those not keen on vocals, whilst the bonus track 'Everybody Knows' is pretty average.
| Album: Toca[724385067709]
Released 2001 on Positiva Records. Licenced from Orbit Records GmbH. How bad can an album be? Cashing in on the success of Toca's Miracle and Toca Me, Fragma deliver their debut album which features eleven pop-orientated tracks. This could esily be mistaken for Aqua - yes, its that bad.
