Brooklyn Bounce (русск. «Бруклин Баунс») - немецкая музыкальная группа, работающая в стиле Hard House, Euro Trance. В начале своего творческого пути была одной из самых востребованных и популярных танцевальных команд. За двенадцать лет было продано 2 500 000 CD с синглами группы. Одно из самых известных произведений Brooklyn Bounce «Bass, Beats and Melody» получило золотой статус, его продажи достигли 333 000 копий. Проект активно гастролировал, на сцене выступал Рене Беренс и две девушки танцовщицы, видео-клипы снимались на каждый сингл. После выхода альбома «X-pect the un-X-pected» в 2004 году у группы началась стагнация и творческий кризис, из коллектива ушёл один из основных продюсеров - Маттиас Менк.
Brooklyn Bounce был создан в 1996 году двумя диджеями Dennis Bohn и Matthias Menck. Проект стал популярен благодаря их первому треку «The Theme (of Progressive Attack)», который Бонн и Менк разместили как заглавную композицию на своем сборнике «Progressive Attack». Первые треки были исполнены в стиле progressive house. Эволюционный путь группы был сложным и неоднозначным. После популярного в 90-е годы стиля House и всех его ответвлений в начале XXI века Brooklyn Bounce перешли на более коммерческое направление, что ознаменовалось выходом сингла «Bass, Beats And Melody». Именно с появлением этой пластинки началась новая глава в жизни коллектива. В группу пришел «Diablo» из популярного немецкого коллектива 666 разнообразив вокальную часть Brooklyn Bounce и добавив ещё больше агрессивности в тексты. Также появление «Diablo» привело к новому витку популярности группы, поскольку харизма этого артиста и особая популярность, которую он завоевал будучи фронтменом в 666, добавили множество новых поклонников Brooklyn Bounce.
Музыкальная концепция группы с появлением альбома «BB Nation» стала ещё более коммерческой. Тяга к максимальному успеху привела к окончательной трансформации группы из Progressive House в Euro Trance. Многие композиции этого альбома (Bring It Back, Everytime) были наполнены женским вокалом и мелодичными синтезаторными сэмплами, что роднило их со стилем Dancecore. Дальнейшее творчество группы радикально ничем не отличалось от альбома BB Nation, за исключением появления новых Hard House мотивов, проявившихся в утяжелении басовой линии.
В 2007 вышла переработанная версия трека «The Theme (Of Progressive Attack)». Хотя поклонники ожидали новых работ (не ремиксов и ремейков прошлых хитов) и значительного улучшения качества звучания, тем не менее всё что было обещано Dennis Bohn - это альбом кавер-версий на старые хиты Brooklyn Bounce и возможно несколько новых произведений. Считается что сейчас группа переживает кризис и спад популярности. Это подтверждается как слабой активностью творческого крыла в лице Денниса Бона, поскольку с 2005 года всё что издавалось группой было лишь переработкой старого материала, не неся новых форм звучания, так и слабым гастрольный график группы, которая почти не выступает с концертами.

For many years Brooklyn Bounce was the cool Swedish Ulrica, the fiery Chilean Alexandra and the lively Diablo. And not to forget, the two masterminds and producers in the background, Dennis Bohn and Matthias Menck. But after many successful years and hundreds of performances together, Ulrica and Alexandra have decided to, starting in June, leave their work as singers and dancers in the band and pursue new endeavors. One switch already took place in Brooklyn Bounce when front man Damon left and Diablo enriched the dance formation. With the new formation, their success only increased and with 360,000 copies of the single “Bass, Beats & Melody” sold, rung in the second chapter of Brooklyn Bounce.
Now the third success chapter for Brooklyn Bounce has started. Together with NESTLÉ SCHÖLLER and VIVA, in a nationwide casting action, two new singers and dancers were sought. A total of eight final contestants competed on VIVA to join the band. With the help of VIVA-viewers, the competition was won by 20-year-old Noreen from Berlin and 24-year-old Katie, a native of Australia, who lives Cologne. They have been the new Brooklyn Bounce girls since the beginning of September. Together with Diablo, they currently perform the new single “X2X (We Want More!)”, which will be released at the beginning of October.
“After switching to our new record company Polydor, our new pieces are more progressive than ever, but at the same time also more song oriented and more Brooklyn Bounce than ever before. In the future we want to concentrate more on ourselves and our sound. The loyal fans are the best motor for that,” says Dennis Bohn about the upcoming Brooklyn Bounce album “X-pect the Un-X-pected!” (release date: September 2004). Together with Matthias Menck, Bohn is the mastermind behind the progressive house sensation from Hamburg, Brooklyn Bounce. With Matthias Menck he has to date produced, including the current releases, four albums and 14 Brooklyn Bounce singles, plus several special releases, hit compilations and so forth. “The third chapter of Brooklyn Bounce has started. We are happy about our new girls, Noreen and Katie, who together with Diablo will really excite the fans in the clubs,” promises Matthias Menck. And Diablo says, “Team spirit is really important for me. With Noreen and Katie we have found a strong, new line-up that the fans can expect a lot from – we want more!“
