Alimo and Control started their career as DJs and club promoters. In 2000, they got their own club culture TV show on Helsinki local television. They became more and more interested in making music, and they made drum'n'bass music in solo and later Finnish language music under the name Alimo&Control. The Alimo&Control project's most famous song was "Tarkkaillaan", featuring Laura Närhi from Kemopetrol as the vocalist. In 2003, Alimo and Control released an album, This is... Beats and Styles, whose most famous songs were "Dynamite" and "Girls' Anthem".
In 2004, the duo released the album We're Not Ready Yet, whose most famous hit was "Renegades", sung by Michael Monroe and Alimo, as well as "Fire" and "Dance, Dance, Dance". In 2005, they released the album Everything is Everything, whose most famous songs included "Invitation to the Dancefloor" and the title song "Everything is Everything", whose music video was shot in Prypiat near Chernobyl. Beats and Styles won a bronze award in the 2005 Muuvi music video competition and a special mention for productive and good quality video work. The group's music has been published in Sweden, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, France, Italy, United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia among other countries, but so far the duo has not achieved a true international breakthrough.
Beats and Styles released their fourth album Walk, Don't Talk on 14 February 2007. The album's first single was "Ocean Wave", featuring guest artist Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks. The video for "Ocean Wave" was shot in Fuerteventura and was directed by Kusti Manninen. The group also participated in the Finnish Eurovision Song Contest selection for the Finnish entry with their song "See the Signs", but got last place.
Take It Back
Beats & Styles Lyrics

I’m bored out of my mind
I’m still on the run, she still think she’s the one
But I feel I need some time, yeah.
Somehow, we will always be connected,
Somehow, there will always be a way,
Come on now!
Take it back, one day.
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
Finally I’m free, the fear of being me
Is long gone and I’m alright!
You must understand, that I’m a better man,
Wish you could have seen that side.
Somehow, we will always be connected,
Somehow, there will always be a way,
Come on now!
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
Good thing going on,
Know what thing is gone,
We got to keep on moving.
Look back and I smile,
Happy for a while,
But times are always changing…
Somehow, we will always be connected,
Somehow, there will always be a way,
Come on now!
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
You can do it if you want, come on!
We can do it if we want, come on!
You can do it if you want, come on!
We can do it if we want, come on now!
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day.
You can take it back, one day
Take it back, one day. l

The lyrics are straightforward and the message is clear, making the song relatable to many people who have experienced similar feelings of being stuck or needing a change. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus add to its uplifting message, making it an inspiring and motivational anthem.

Лето 2008 года, солнце, жара, я купил свою первую машину и мы с моей девушкой под эту песню едем купаться на речку. Верните меня пожалуйста в то время))
@user-dh5to1dz5j
мне в 8-м 15 было, так что о тачках и девушках речь не шла, но боль от клипов и музыки, делавшей то лето, куда хотелось бы вернуться, со временем ощущается всё сильнее :(
