They were also influential in the birth of the electro movement in America and helped pave the way for modern dance music styles such as electro-funk and electro-hop.
In 1982, Soulsonic Force and Afrika Bambaataa released a single called "Planet Rock". The song borrowed musical motifs from German electro-pop, British rock, and African-American disco rap. All the different elements and musical styles were blended together; and in doing so, they offered hip-hop as a new vision for global harmony. The song became an immediate hit and stormed the music charts worldwide.
Their most well-known songs are "Planet Rock", "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and "Renegades of Funk" (which is one of the earliest political-conscious rap songs alongside Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five's "The Message").
Soulsonic Force feature on the title track of the Freestylers' debut album We Rock Hard.
