Strike were a British electronic dance music group formed in 1994, consisting of Matt Cantor (later of Freestylers), Andy Gardner (later of Plump DJs) and vocalist Victoria Newton.
A chance vocal session for Victoria Newton at the studios of Fresh Records in Ladbroke Grove, landed her the role as the lead singer.
[citation needed] They then began to tour extensively, appearing on MTV and on television programs such as Top of the Pops and playing to audiences as large as 70,000.
[1][2] Strike went on to produce another four UK top 40 hits, like their cover of Paula Abdul's "My Love Is for Real", and an album, I Saw the Future was released in 1997 on Fresh Records.
In September 1999, she made her debut release with "Martha's Harbour", a cover of the All About Eve hit, including mixes by Mike Koglin and Blu.
