Pressplay is also the name of a Trip-Hop duo from Manchester, England. Playgirl e Lisa sempre estiveram ligadas ao meio musical; a sua permanência regular nos ensaios de Tsunamiz fê-las pensar nos seus "meros" improvisos de rua de uma forma mais séria, de forma a que um duo feminino fosse criado, com o intuito de intervir activamente na cultura underground da margem sul, através da realização de concertos ao vivo.
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine - aka Carter USM - spent most of their performing live (1987-1998) as two guys and a drum machine and a handful of pop culture samples.

A journalist once quipped that Carter lyrics were cribbed from the London A-Z book of maps.
While remaining punky and independent in spirit, Carter USM signed to Chrysalis/EMI in order to crossover to the pop charts.

Gaby Amarantos is a singer and dancer from the city of Belém, in the northern state of Pará and comes from a family of Samba dancers. She's recorded a few CDs, a DVD, has been featured in newspapers and magazines and has made several appearances on Brazilian television shows. Her music sounds like a mashup of 90s Euro rave, moombahton, cumbia, and the kind of Hispanic electro-pop you hear in discos on holiday when you're out of your mind on budget cocktails. Like Gloria Estefan with techno knobs on – or rather, Glozzer in a clinch with Technotronic.
