Fiocco was a Belgian Eurodance act created by DJ and producer Jan Vervloet, born in 1997 in Belgium, who worked primarily as a producer and frontman. The project began as a studio collaboration and achieved its breakthrough with the 1997 single "Afflitto", which reached Number 1 on the Belgian Dance charts for nine weeks and entered the top five of the Belgian Ultratop. In 1997 Fiocco released the EP The Spirit, which became a larger hit than "Afflitto" and secured the group a contract with Antler Subway, expanding their presence across France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, and Israel; the single peaked at number 2 on the Ultratop, just behind Aqua's "Barbie Girl". The same year the EP Spread The Word Around entered the top ten, and the album Free was issued, further cementing Fiocco’s status as a Belgian dance act. Subsequent releases included "Straight Till The End" (1998) and "The Music" (1999), the latter featuring a trance‑oriented arrangement and remixes by The Oblique and Razzle Dazzle. In 2000 the single "The Crowd Is Moving" reached number 6 on the charts. By 2003 Fiocco issued Afflitto 2003 Remixes, and in 2005 the remixes were released in Spain alongside tracks co‑written by Olivier Adams. The group’s activity diminished after 2005.
