Stereo MC's

Stereo MC's are an English hip hop/electronic dance group which formed in Nottingham, England, in 1985. They had an international Top 20 hit in 1992 with their single "Connected". After releasing eight albums for Island Records, K7, Graffiti Recordings, and Pias, they formed the label Connected with Terranova to release their own material and that of other artists within the house/techno/electronic medium. 
Vocalist Rob Birch and disc jockey (DJ)/producer Nick Hallam founded their Gee Street recording studio and record label with money they were given to leave their London flat and, dispensing with using a backing band, travelled to early gigs on public transport. 
As Birch & Hallam they recorded two synth-pop singles in 1983: "What You Say" and "Pray For Me", both released on the A&M label. 
Their live band included singers Andrea Bedassie and Verona Davis, and they were one of the few hip hop outfits to play at rock music festivals at the time. 1992's mainstream breakthrough Connected, a UK Albums Chart #2, contained the hit singles "Connected", "Step It Up", "Creation", and "Ground Level", and won them BRIT Awards for Best Group and Best Album.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first started playing Stereo MC's material in 1989. A year later, the group did a session for his show. However, after 1991, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the group and didn't not play any material from their 1992 mainstream breakthrough album, Connected.
