Biography

Basic Element is a Swedish Eurodance group of the mid 1990s, which has returned in 2005 and is still releasing new material.

From Malmö in Sweden the group originally consisted of keyboardist/programmers Peter Thelenius (Petrus) and Cesar Zamini and vocalist Zetma Prenbo who was eventually replaced by Saunet Sparell.

The history began in 1992 when Peter Thelenius together with his friend Ceasar Zamani, decided to start a group.

1993: Magnus Nygren, EMI records, finally contacted the band after several rejected demos. Later the same year the group released their first single “Move me” under the name Basic Element. The single didn’t make much noise on the radio but it established the contact with the DJ’s around the country, which rated the single very high on the Swedish Dance Chart.

1994: The group released their second single “The promise man” and it was a real bombshell. The single went straight up to no:1 at almost every dancecharts around Scandinavia. The follow-up singles “Touch” and “Leave it behind” also became great hits and the success was now a fact. The debut album “Basic injection” was sold (only in Sweden) in 35.000 copies.

1995: The expectation increased on the group and the 2:nd album: “The Ultimate ride” didn’t leave anyone disappointed. The same year Zelma Prembo, the singer in the group, got pregnant and decided to quit the band and was replaced by Saunet Sparell. With singles like “The Ride”, “Queen of love”, “The Fiddle” and “This must be dream” the group establish itself as one of the biggest Dance acts in Sweden.
