Soul II Soul, led by Jazzie B, emerged from London in the late '80s blending hip-hop, house, and R&B. Known for hits "Keep On Movin'" and "Back to Life," the group achieved Grammy wins, international acclaim, and U.K. chart success. Featuring rotating vocalists like Caron Wheeler, they released several successful albums and singles throughout the '90s. Despite disbanding by the decade's end, Jazzie B, awarded an OBE, continues to lead reunion performances.

Todd Terry, born in Brooklyn, defined 1980s New York house music by blending disco, Chicago house, and hip-hop. Known for hits "Missing" remix, "Keep on Jumpin'," and "Something Goin' On," he collaborated with the Jungle Brothers and remixed artists like Björk and Janet Jackson. Terry founded Freeze Records and influenced U.K. rave. His collaborations span Kevin Saunderson to House Gospel Choir.

Happy Mondays, from Salford, England, were pivotal to the 80s-90s Madchester scene, blending indie and acid house. Led by Shaun Ryder, they mixed funk, techno, and psychedelia. Known for albums like "Bummed" and "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches," their hits include "Kinky Afro" and "Step On." Ryder's surreal wordplay and their unique sound made them icons alongside The Stone Roses and Inspiral Carpets.
