Vengaboys

Vengaboys is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Timmy Trumpet, Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, L.A. Style and Dash Berlin.

They run in the same orbit as Whigfield, Mr. President, Real McCoy, Alice DeeJay and Corona, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Steps, Scissor Sisters, Kesha, Born This Way: The Remix and Zight, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
