After relocating to the Camden area of London, Apollo 440 recorded their debut album, Millennium Fever, and released it in 1994 on their own Stealth Sonic Recordings label (distributed by Epic Records). They have successfully invaded both the pop charts and the dancefloor with their combination of rock, techno, and ambient. They also changed the writing of their name from Apollo 440 to Apollo Four Forty in 1996, though switched back for their latest album.
The band had been most known for its remixes until the release of Liquid Cool in the UK. However, it was not until the success of the singles Krupa and Ain't Talkin' 'bout Dub that their own musical efforts were brought to international attention — particularly the latter contributed greatly to pushing Apollo 440 into the spotlight.
Currently, the band resides in Islington, London, having once again moved its headquarters (affectionately labelled Apollo Control).
In 2007, the band played a tribute gig to the late singer Billy MacKenzie and decided to go on after that.

Heart Go Boom
Apollo 440 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filling up my belly with some fine wine
All locked up in the afternoon
Kiss my baby and my heart go boom
Make my heart go boom-boom
Diddly-bop, diddly-bop, diddly-bop, boing
Diddly-bop, diddly-bop, diddly-bop, boing
Diddly-bop, diddly-bop, diddly-bop, boing
Make my heart go boom-boom
The lyrics to Apollo 440's song Heart Go Boom paint a whimsical picture of a lazy afternoon spent in the sun, enjoying a glass of wine and the company of a loved one. The singer is sitting on a bench and taking in the pleasant surroundings - and as soon as they kiss their partner, their heart goes "boom".
It's a warmly romantic sentiment, one that speaks to the power of love to make life's simple pleasures all the more enjoyable. The "diddly-bop" refrain is similarly lighthearted, adding an almost childlike sing-song quality to the lyrics. The overall effect is a feeling of carefree joy and contentment, as if the singer is savoring every moment of their idyllic afternoon.
Some listeners may interpret the "make my heart go boom" line as a metaphor for the intense emotional reaction that comes with falling in love. That sudden feeling of palpitations and exhilaration that can come from being around someone you adore. Overall, "Heart Go Boom" is a song about the sheer joy of being in love and finding happiness in the simplest of moments.

The great thing about Apollo 440 was that even if their productions were done in the studio with all kinds of recording tricks, including sampling and electronic music composing, they actually could play their tracks live with a band in a very good way :)
