Between 1997 and 2000 the duo scored a string of dance hits in the UK. But two of their biggest hits in that country were also major successes on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States in 1999, where they were released on Tommy Boy Records: The flamenco-inspired "Dreaming" (featuring Katherine "Arrola" Ellis and credited as "Ruff Driverz Presents Arrola"), a Top Ten hit on the UK Singles Chart, which peaked at #20 in the United States, and "Waiting For The Sun," which was their highest charting record, peaking at #2.
Today Carter continues as a solo producer and remixer, while Brown has reportedly since retired from the music industry.

todos los dias son dias de fiesta
Vamos a jugar en el sol,
todos los dias son dias de fiesta
Vamos a jugar en el sol,
todos los dias son dias de fiesta
Vamos a jugar en el sol,
Vamos a jugar en el sol,
todos los dias son dias de fiesta
Vamos a jugar en el sol.. (x8)
Vamos a.. (x8)
Vamos.. (x17)

It is important to note that the lyrics provided are actually from a remix of Ruff Driverz's "Dreaming" that incorporates Spanish lyrics. The original version of the song does not contain these lyrics.
The Spanish lyrics roughly translate to "Let's play in the sun, every day is a holiday." This phrase is repeated throughout the song, with slight variations in wording and inflection. The repetition of this phrase reinforces the idea that the singer is trying to escape their problems and live in the moment.
The rest of the song contains English lyrics that also contribute to the overall theme of escapism. For example, the chorus includes the lines "I'm dreaming, dreaming of you/ Can't stop thinking, what else can I do?" These lyrics suggest that the singer is preoccupied with someone or something that they are unable to attain in reality.
The song's upbeat tempo and electronic instrumentation further emphasize the idea of escape and freedom. The synths and drum machines create a dreamlike soundscape that encourages listeners to let go of their worries and just enjoy the moment.
Overall, Ruff Driverz's "Dreaming" is a song about escapism and the desire to escape everyday problems and live in the moment. The Spanish lyrics included in the remix version of the song reinforce this theme of living in the present and enjoying life.

I'm 33 years old.
When I was 22 people started to have Facebook but I never did.
Already when I was 19 I stopped using a cellphone. After 4 years of having Sony J6, which was a good phone controlled just by one wheel.
I understood in time where this was going.
I started 10 years without technology and did 2 years naked in the forest. As 29 years old I got a smartphone. Not worth it though.
I'm looking forward to live without technology again.
No technology can provide you with such fullness and happiness like a free mind and prana from the nature.

Heard this on pick of the pops on Radio 2, never realised it was such a choon until then. There's something about crappy radio stations suddenly dropping a banger
