The young Alex Christensen first made a name for himself as a producer and DJ. His early successes from this period include the single "Ritmo De La Noche" (1990, as writer and producer for the group Chocolate) and "Das Boot", the first single from his own music project U 96, which landed Alex Christensen a number 1 hit in Germany. The producer went on to enjoy further success as a writer and producer with other artists such as Rollergirl, Marky Mark, ATC, Bro'Sis, Sarah Brightman, Right Said Fred, Yvonne Catterfeld, DJ Ötzi, Helene Fischer and Coldplay. In the early 2000s, Alex Christensen dedicated himself to his own career as a musician and composer.

Two more albums from this series are released, Classical 90s Dance 2 (2018) and Classical 90s Dance 3 (2019).
