1) B.I.G (Hangul: 비아이지; an acronym for Boys In Groove) is a five-member South Korean boy band under GH Entertainment. The group consists of J-hoon, Gunmin, Heedo and Jinseok.
Gunmin is currently part of the group NIK.
Benji left the group in 2020, in 2021 Minpyo announced that he has left the group as well.

2) Dimos and Michalis Siavelis, 29 and 27 years old respectively, started off with the best possible foundations, which is classical music, and from there managed to enchant us with their electronic compositions! Apart from their 11-year studies in music, both have excellent knowledge of the piano. It was a twist of fate that brought this promising act to Nikos Diamantopoulos and the Yamaha music school where he taught, with Dimos attending classes there and Michalis "apprenticing" at the summer clubs where the well known DJ and producer played.

Their influences range from Yorgie Van Bellen, James Niche, Faithless and Bill Hamel, passing through Banco de Gaia, Deep forest, Future sound of London as well as Jean Michelle Jare, Vangelis Papathanasiou and Brian Eno, while they were also influenced by classic rock acts such as Deep Purple, Dire Straits and undoubtedly Pink Floyd. At the beginning of the 90's, however, their music horizon started clearing up and the two brothers were tempted by the uplifting sounds of house and progressive house.

Their love and passion for music is an integral characteristic of both of the boys. Thus, they showed no resistance in giving in to his greater love and invested in technological equipment, which was the best foundation in order for the two brothers to unfold their talents.

From the moment KLIK Records decided to release B.I.G.'s debut album, it was impressed on every possible occasion that the whole project was recorded literally in front of the Corinthian gulf, as it is a major source of inspiration.

3) Brothers in God, a Swedish 1990's rock band consisting of Peo Thyrén, Stefan Almqvist and Jens Lundvik.

Yo, wait a minute, keep that one
Do the right thing, ah yeah
Ah ah yeah
Check this out
Check this out
Check this out (wait it)
Ah yeah
Ah yeah chiki chiki

Ah yeah, come on
Ah, ah yeah (do the right thing)
Ah, ah yeah
Ah yeah

Do the right thing, not talking about a black or white thing
'Cause that will cause conflict to make this thing legit
But your definition of legit and illegitimate
Is confusion now the Redhead one has said
To make things clearer, 'cause in about a year or two
What you do is take a look up in the mirror
And what you see is the image of hate
That you shed upon the others of sisters and the brothers (ah yeah)

Now in my opinion, you need someone to teach
The whole world is acting like a giant Howard Beach
I asked my man Victor, what he used to do for fun
He said, he learned to shoot a gun before the age of twenty-one
Crime and abortion, all kinds of mind distortion
This is very important but just a little caution
Of what you can do, here's a clue and it's true, yo

Don't wanna burn your sweater, make your life better (ah yeah)
Do the right thing

Do the right thing
You got to do the right thing
Do the right thing
Do the right thing
Do the right thing
You got to do the right thing
Do the right thing yeah

Brothers are stealin' and dealin' and big wheelin'
And to a younger mind that stuff is appealin'
So what do they do, they gather up a crew
Go out and steal and rob instead of gettin' a job
Now your mother tried to bring you up better than that
The same way she loved you, you loved her right back
But now you think you're grown and you argue a lot
Over money you got from dealin' stuff on the block (ah yeah)

Now you're not the only one in the world that has problems
Keep your head straight and you can surely solve them
Be a fly guy and reach sky high
And like the Jeffersons, you get a piece of the pie

I hope you take heed to the message I brought
In another word, the lesson I taught
The Redhead kick a lyric but I won't sing
And the FBI Crew wants you, and you and you to do the right thing

Do the right thing
You got to do the right thing
Do the right thing
Do the right thing
You got to do the right thing
Do the right thing

Right about now, we're gonna start using our own words with whole boys in a house
Don't be counted off as we go on something like this
One, two, three
And Manhattan, you got to do the right thing
Brooklyn, you got to do the right thing
And the Bronx you got to do the right thing
Queen's Island, you got to do the right thing
Long Island, you got to do the right thing
Staten Island, you got to do the right thing
On the West Coast, you got to do the right thing
Everybody, everybody in the world, you got to do the right thing

Uh, do the right thing (right thing)
