Silent Circle

German Eurodisco band, Silent Circle, was formed in 1985 and consisted of Martin Tychsen (Jo Jo Tyson) on vocals, Axel Breitung on keyboards, and Jürgen Behrens (CC Behrens) on drums. The group's origins trace back to 1976 when Breitung and Tychsen won a young talent competition in northern Germany. Their breakthrough came with the single "Touch In The Night", which became a hit in German discothèques and radio stations in 1986. Following this success, their debut album Number 1 was released, featuring singles like "Stop The Rain" and "Love Is Just A Word". Harald Schaefer replaced Breitung for live performances, allowing Breitung to focus on songwriting and production. In 1987, the band released two more singles, "Danger Danger" and "Oh, Don't Lose Your Heart Tonight", under the label Teldec. The group continued with album releases such as Back! in 1994 and Stories 'Bout Love in 1998, which included new tracks and remixes of their earlier work. Silent Circle's music is characterized by its Italo disco influences rather than new wave or synthpop. The band continued to perform live in Europe well into the 2010s, showcasing their enduring popularity.
