In 2000, a mash-up was produced, taking the music of Fragma's Toca Me and placing the vocals from Coco's I Need A Miracle over the top and renamed Toca's Miracle which gained further attention from DJs Pete Tong and Judge Jules. As Fragma and Coco were on the same record label at the time (Positiva), an official release was made, and went straight to number 1 in the UK charts, as well as in Australia and Ireland.
In 2001, an album was released; Toca, as well as two other singles; Everytime You Need Me (UK #3 hit), which featured vocals by Maria Rubia, and You Are Alive (UK #4 hit) with vocals by Damae.
2002 saw Dirk and Marco set up their own studio, called Evergreen-Terrace.
In 2002, Fragma were permanently operating with vocalist Damae, and have released a second album; Embrace, with hit singles such as Say That You're Here (UK #25 hit), Embrace Me, Man In The Moon and Time And Time Again.
Dirk and Marco are also currently working as a duo under their surname Duderstadt. So far two singles have been released under this name; Sunrise and Taking Over. A third single, Mahananda is expected to be released soon.
The latest release by Duderstadt is Smile, for which they worked with Anita Kelsey. Remixes were provided by the likes of Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Duende.

The lyrics to Fragma's song "Toca Me" are relatively short and repetitive in nature, but they are nonetheless powerful and expressive. Translated from Spanish, they mean "Touch me" and "This afternoon it's leaving me". The repetition of "touch me" throughout the song suggests a physical and emotional hunger, a longing for human connection and intimacy. The lyrics also convey a sense of urgency, as if time is slipping away and the singer is desperate to feel something, anything, before it's too late. The phrases "this afternoon it's leaving me" and "touch me" are almost pleading, as if the singer is seeking comfort or validation from the listener.
The simple yet evocative nature of these lyrics is typical of dance music, which is often geared towards getting people to move and feel good rather than communicating complex messages. In this sense, "Toca Me" is a quintessential dance track, designed to elicit a physical and emotional response from the listener. The repetition of the phrase "touch me" in particular is catchy and memorable, likely to stick in the listener's head long after the song has ended.
