 The popularity of the hardbag genre reached its zenith in 1995 with releases by Commander Tom, Candy Girls, Rollo & Sister Bliss and Mrs Wood all crossing over into the mainstream.Indeed, the sound began to meld with mákina, evident on tracks such as "Forever Young" by Interactive and "Rainbow Islands" by Seb.The two most influential exponents of the sound were Dutch producer Patrick Prins (who, recording a variety of aliases, scored several large UK club and chart hits such as "Bits & Pieces" – Artemesia) and the late Tony De Vit, whose hardbag composition "Hooked" is still considered one of the definitive examples of the genre.
