<… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands that used the name "LOFT" or "The Loft".
1. Loft is an eurodance act from Germany. Loft stands for "Live Our Fathers’ Teaching".
Members are Courtney Dean, St Patrick Williams and Richard Wayne Williams known as Ranking Richie.
Several vocalists were featured like Kim Sanders, Lori Glori, Gina Mohammed and Sandra Steinborn.
Producers were DMP (Michael Eisele and Dietmar Stehle).
Loft released several hits like "Hold On", "Summer Summer", "Love Is Magic", "Mallorca" or "Wake The World" and the albums titled "Wake The World" (1994) and "Future World" (1995).
In 2004, Loft did a come back by remixing "Summer Summer" and one year later, with a new female vocalist called Sue. The new crew recorded the singles "Still No 1" and "Love Can't Be Wrong".
2. The Loft were a short-lived indie rock band founded by Weather Prophets frontman Pete Astor.
Formed in 1980 as The Living Room by Peter Astor (vocals, guitar), Bill Prince (bass), Andy Strickland (guitar) and Dave Morgan (drums), the band changed its name when they discovered a local music venue also called The Living Room. The venue was being run by Alan McGee, with whom The Loft struck up a friendship and played several gigs for. After signing to McGee's fledgling Creation Records label, the debut single "Why Does the Rain?" was issued in 1984. "Up the Hill and Down the Slope" was issued the following year, earning both band and label some critical success.
A national tour as the opening act for The Colourfield was intended to give the band further exposure, but tensions within the band led to a sensational split live onstage of the Hammersmith Palais, on the final date of the tour.
3. LOFT was the project of a North Manchester IDM artist, who released the EPs "Three Settlements Four Ways" and "And Departt From Mono Games". As of 2019 the person behind LOFT discontinued this project and releases under her new name AYA.

In the middle of the night, c'mon
Hey, this is mysterious
Gotta ask question 'cus I'm curious
I know distractions, kind of scandelous
But when we link up, they can't handle us
Bright light speaks it, what I'm all about
Yo, it's allright, just as long as you dance
If you're from the boomdas, you might end up this place
Now the beat shine cologne is fading
The neon-signs are scrolling up and down here
Show me the world as I like to see it
With romodles flashing all around you
You can say all that you wanna (... What you wanna)
Cus' I still know that I'm gonna
Be the one who's gonna make it
Even though life is hard in the city
You can say all that you wanna
Cus' I still know that I'm gonna
Be the one who's gonna make it
Even though life is hard in the city
Blood is pumping, heavy breathing
In the middle of the night, c'mon
Blood is pumping, heavy breathing
Keep it breathing, keep it moving
The traffic's stuck and a blind man's begging
While screaming "New York City I love you"
People are yearning to be rich and famous
But guess what, limousines, they get stuck too
You can say all that you wanna (... What you wanna)
Cus' I still know that I'm gonna (... Gonna)
Be the one who's gonna make it
Even though life is hard in the city (... C'mon)
You can say all that you wanna
Cus' I still know that I'm gonna
Be the one who's gonna make it
Even though life is hard in the city
Blood is pumping, heavy breathing
In the middle of the night, c'mon
Blood is pumping, heavy breathing
Now everybody move hands, up against the wall
Into the town center let's have a ball
The city needs an extreme makeover
Cause people never sleep, and they are hardly sobber
Let's take a cruise in my range rover
Looking out the window see the bridge is over
Instead let's go to The Loft of chill
Cause city folks like us, got time to kill
Yeah... Are you feeling it
The big city of dreams, blood is pumping
Annex hanging in the air
People rushing everywhere
You can feel it in the air
There's nowhere out of here [repeat as choir]
That's right
Ya'all got five seconds to get on the dancefloor
Last call ya'all
Big city people put your hands up in the air
For real
In the middle of the night, c'mon
Keep it breathing, keep it moving
Blood is pumping, heavy breathing
In the middle of the night, c'mon
Blood is pumping, heavy breathing
Keep it breathing, keep it moving...
