Digital Explosion is a group that had a great success at mp3.com. The were known as a group with a unique blend of different styles. The group was formed by two brothers from Finland and this teamwork of creating effects, soundscape and melodies has always been inspired by deep emotions, adrenalin inspired beats and swirling breaks. Those were the key elements of composing new and original uplifting dance/trance/techno/pop music. The idea to use old classical melodies in some songs came from their most played song "Hardcore Symphony". The original idea was thought by many to be a remake of an classical song when infact the whole composition is 100% Digital Explosion.
The great success on mp3.com did come with over 4 million plays. At the time when mp3.com had many recording artist on display at the site, they were still amoung the Top10 songs with songs like "With You".
