A couple of years later, when there was only house music being played in clubs, Mo & Benoelie were being seen as the 'outsiders' in the Belgian club scene. They played 'other' stuff inbetween. They were not afraid of mixing stuff like The Residents, or The Cramps, or even campy disco inbetween the 'popular' 4/4 house & techno music. Soon they started to develop a loyal following, which would later result in a new scene in Ghent's diverse but booming nightlife.
New parties were being thrown at different locations, and all promoters were trying to find the most original one, because in Ghent there were no Clubs at all. You had 'Free The Funk' in an old glass factory, 'Pablo Eskimo Bar' in an old underwear factory, 'Belmondo' in a contemporary arts museum, 'PopLife' in one of the city's oldest concerthall..
The legendary R & S Records (that was also based in Gent) released "Free The Funk Compilation 1" back in 1995, which was an unmixed compilation with mostly instrumental, mid tempo electronic funk. Four follow ups and a lot of parties later, Mo & Benoelie programmed the first Eskimo compilation: "The Past Presents The Future, The Future Presents The Past" (2000). Their amalgamation of new beat, funk, dub, house, techno, party hip hop, new wave, edgy post-punk disco and more was a revelation to those bored of linear mix albums.
Several follow ups and a Sidetracks later, in January 2003, Johnno Burgess (Bugged Out!, Jockey Slut) decided to give the guys a break and invited them for a DJ slot at one of his Bugged Out! parties @ The End in London. Since then, they were being seen all over the world as the Glimmer Twins..
In 2004 they shortened their name into 'The Glimmers' for obvious reasons and released their highly acclaimed 'Remixed, Re-edited and F*cked Up' album for Eskimo Recordings (The White Box). A DJ Kicks in the famous series for !K7 Records followed (2005) and more recently they mixed their 'journey' in the amazing FabricLive series runned by top night club Fabric in London.
Meanwhile remixes have been done for Bloc Party, The Killers, New Order, Roxy Music, Isolee, Phoenix, Pop Del Arte, Snow Patrol, Calvin Harris, Shirley Bassey and The Chemical Brothers.

The Glimmers' song "Disco Infiltrator" is a dance track that seems to be about the power of disco music and how it can take over and infiltrate one's body and mind. The lyrics speak of a mysterious figure called the "disco infiltrator," who seems to represent the infectious energy of disco music. The singer of the song is taken over by this force, and despite recognizing that they are being controlled by it, they cannot resist its power. The chorus urges the listener to "shake their waist" and "want it," even if they know that they are being manipulated.
The verse "Bare in mind, we all fall behind, from time to time" suggests that the song is also about the human condition and how we all struggle to resist our own weaknesses and desires. The disco infiltrator could be seen as a metaphor for any force that takes over our lives, whether it be addiction, love, or desire. The song seems to suggest that we should embrace these forces, even if they lead us astray, because they are an essential part of what makes us human.
Overall, "Disco Infiltrator" is a catchy, upbeat dance track that celebrates the power of disco music and encourages us to let ourselves be taken over by its infectious energy.
