Koen Groeneveld (IttyBitty) and Addy van der Zwaan (DJ BoozyWoozy) first worked together in the Turn Up The Bass series of commercial mixes. They started producing music in the 1990s before meeting up with Jan Voermans (Greatski) in 1995. The trio created the sublabel Blue Records for parent Mid-Town Records to release their tracks as Klubbheads. In 1996, they had their first mainstream chart hit with "Klubbhopping", which reached #10 in the UK Singles Chart in May. It was followed up with two other entries in to the Top 40, in August 1997 with "Discohopping" (#35) and in August 1998 with "Kickin' Hard" (#36). In 1999 they co-produced "The Launch" for compatriot DJ Jean, reaching #2 in September. At this time they also split up from Blue Records to found the label Digidance.
They scored a Billboard Hot Dance Airplay hit in 2003 with "E" (which samples Eminem's "Without Me") under the Drunkenmunky name. In other countries, it was released under the title "E (As In Evangeline)" but the track didn't use the "Without Me" sampling. Their song "Yeah!" samples the crunk hit Yeah! by Usher to a similar success. In 2005 they sampled Rune RK's "Calabria" under the name Dirty Laundry. "Calabria" has been one of the most sampled songs used in the Dance community.
As Hi_Tack, they have released a remix of "Say Say Say" in 2006, a track originally by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson (now renamed to "Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U)"), which reached #4 in the UK Singles Chart. The track entered the Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in the United States, where it debuted at #18 for the week ending 6 March 2006. They have also remixed Filter Funk's cover of the Police song, "Message in a Bottle".
Voermans elected to end their partnership in the Spring of 2005 after ten years of collaboration". Groeneveld and van der Zwaan continue to work together in a new label, Unit 54, while Voermans remains with Digidance.

Klubbheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ng napakahigpit
Pakinggan mo ang tinig ko
‘Di mo ba pansin?
Ikaw at ako
Tayo'y pinagtagpo
Ikaw at ako
Di na muling magkakalayo
Wala nang kulang pa
Mahal na mahal kang talaga
Tayo ay iisa
Ikaw at ako
Tayo'y pinagtagpo
Ikaw at ako
‘Di na muling magkakalayo
Unos sa buhay natin
‘Di ko papansinin
Takda ng tadhana
Ikaw ang aking bituin
Ikaw at ako
Tayo'y pinagtagpo
Ikaw at ako
‘Di na muling magkakalayo
Ikaw at ako
Tayo'y pinagtagpo
Ikaw at ako
‘Di na muling magkakalayo
The above lyrics are from the Filipino song that was translated into English as "You and Me". The song talks about holding hands so tightly and listening to the voice that the singer is raising. The singer sings that they were brought together and will never be separate again. The lyrics also touch on the resilience of their relationship, where nothing is missing when they are together, and they truly love each other. They believe that their fates were brought together, and they will always be there for each other no matter what unexpected events happen in their lives.
The song celebrates the idea of a strong and eternal bond of love that can withstand all the hardships of life. It is about two people who are meant to be together, no matter what obstacles they might face. They have complete faith in each other, and they trust each other's love implicitly. The song is a beautiful ode to love, which is uplifting and heartwarming.

Hawakan mo ang kamay ko
Hold my hand tightly
Ng napakahigpit
Very tightly
Pakinggan mo ang tinig ko
Listen to my voice
‘Di mo ba pansin?
Don't you notice?
Ikaw at ako
You and I
Tayo'y pinagtagpo
We were destined to meet
Di na muling magkakalayo
We will never be apart again
Sa tuwing kasama kita
Everytime I'm with you

Nothing is missing anymore
Mahal na mahal kang talaga
I really love you so much
Tayo ay iisa
We are one
Unos sa buhay natin
Storms in our lives

Takda ng tadhana
Fate's destiny
Ikaw ang aking bituin
You are my star
