  • Mint Royale is a big beat electronic music act from Manchester, England. They were originally founded by the duo Neil Claxton and Chris Baker in 1997; the latter left the band in 2004, but Claxton continued to produce music using the Mint Royale name. Mint Royale first specialised in remixes, and became known after the release of their mix of "Tequila", by Terrorvision. They were championed by British dance guru Norman Cook, whose DJ sets regularly included their work. Their sound was similar to his, to the extent that some people mistakenly believed Mint Royale to be a pseudonym for Cook himself. Their first album, On the Ropes was released in late 1999, and though it was not a big sales hit, some songs from it have achieved recognition. The single "Don't Falter", featuring Lauren Laverne from Kenickie, was a minor hit in the British charts. The song "From Rusholme with Love" has been made recognisable through its extensive use in film and television series soundtracks. Notable examples include the theme tune for the film Kung Pow! Enter The Fist, as well as being present on the soundtrack of the films Vanilla Sky, Get Carter, Serendipity and the television series ALIAS and Spaced. The song "Because I'm Worth It" has also been used as the theme tune for the Jamie Theakston and Zoë Ball chat show The Priory. The song "Show Me", which first appeared on the 2001 US reissue of the album, is played every Friday by John Richards of KEXP and the song has become known as "The Friday Song". "Show Me" was also used in the National Lampoon film Van Wilder The band released their second album, Dancehall Places, in 2002. The first single from this album, "The Sexiest Man in Jamaica", featuring a sample of a Prince Buster recording, became their second UK Top 20 hit. As the band embarked on a series of live shows and a UK tour in 2003, a new single was released, "Blue Song", the video for which featured comedians Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, of The Mighty Boosh fame, as well as Nick Frost of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead fame and Michael Smiley, also of Spaced. The video was directed by Edgar Wright. Mint Royale returned to the studio to start writing and recording their third album in April 2004. The next few months were a turbulent time for Mint Royale with founding member Chris Baker parting company with the band. However, Neil and the resident vocalists returned to the studio to complete the recording of the third album in January 2005 and the result was ‘See You In The Morning’ with the then unknown Duffy singing on two of the tracks. In 2005 the group released "Waiting in the Rain" on the "Wait for You" EP - a remix of "Singin' in the Rain", which was featured in the January 2005 Volkswagen Golf GTI commercial. It reached #20 on the UK Singles Chart after it was released as a single (remixed and renamed as "Singing In the Rain"). This version also features on the album "See You in the Morning". In 2007, Mint Royale released a compilation CD+DVD named Pop Is... , which contained all their singles and videos, as well as a couple of the remixes they had done for other performers, and a new song, "Wham-Bar", based on the Wham! hit song "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)". On 1 June 2008, "Singin' In The Rain" re-entered the UK Singles Chart at number 28 after the success of George Sampson on Britain's Got Talent and Jack Chambers on So You Think You Can Dance Australia. It then became Number 1 on the British Singles Chart announced on 8 June2008.

  • Mint Royale son un grupo de música Big Beat de Manchester, Inglaterra. Originalmente fue formado por el dúo entre Neil Claxton y Chris Baker, pero este ultimo abandono el dúo y Claxton continuo bajo el nombre de Mint Royale. La banda original comenzó en 1997, se especializaron en remixes y comenzaron a ser conocidos a partir de su mix de "Tequila", por Terrorvisión. Fueron apoyados por el guru del Dance británico Norman Cook, más conocido como Fatboy Slim que incluía piezas en su trabajo, esto creo una confusión, ya que los dos tenían estilos muy similares y algunas personas pensaron que Mint Royale era un seudónimo de Norman Cook. El primer álbum "On the Ropes" salio a finales de 1999, a pesar de que no fue un éxito algunas de sus canciones alcanzaron cierta fama gracias a que se usaron algunas de las canciones en series de televisión, películas y algunos programas. El segundo álbum "Dancehall Places" en el 2002 para después comenzar una gira de shows en directo por el Reino Unido. Volvieron de la gira en Abril del 2004 comenzando a escribir el tercer álbum, que después de ciertos problemas con el fundador de la banda original Chris Bake que retraso el trabajo, lograron terminarlo y publicarlo en enero del 2005 con el titulo "See You In The Morning", en el 2005 crearon "Waiting in the Rain" un remix de la famosa canción Singin' in the Rain o Cantando bajo la lluvia que se usó para el comercial del Volkswagen Golf GTI. Alcanzo el puesto #20 en las listas de Reino Unido. Para 2007 tienen planeado sacar el álbum "Pop is..."

Il singolo Don’t falter, con la prtecipazione di Lauren Laverne dei Kenickie, è stato un successo minore della classifica inglese. La canzone From Rusholme with love è stata apprezzata attraverso il suo uso esteso come colonna sonora di film e serie TV. Esempi noti sono il tema del film Kung Pow! Enter the fist, come pure nella musica dei film Vanilla Sky, Get Carter e Serendipity. La band pubblicò il secondo disco nel 2002: Dancehall Places. Il primo singolo estratto dall’album, The sexiest man in Jamaica, divenne il loro secondo successo nella Top 20 inglese. I Mint Royal ritornarono in studio per comporre e registrare il loro terzo album nell’aprile 2004. I mesi seguenti furono un periodo turbolento tra i Mint e il fondatore Chris Baker, che abbandona la band. Comunque Neil e i vocalist tornano in studio per completare l’album; esso esce nel gennaio 2005, intitolato See you in the morning, con l’allora sconosciuta Duffy che canta in due tracce. Nel 2005 il gruppo pubblica Waiting in the rain, utilizzato per uno spot pubblicitario. Esso raggiunse il N° 20 della classifica inglese dei singoli. Nel 2007 i Mint pubblicano una raccolta CD+DVD dal titolo Pop is…, che contiene tutti i loro singoli e video, ed anche due remix.
