Today’s video of the day is 2 Unlimited – "Let The Beat Control Your Body" released in 1994.
Released in early 1994, “Let The Beat Control Your Body” confirmed 2 Unlimited as Eurodance leaders. The Belgian-Dutch duo formed in 1991. Producers Jean-Paul De Coster and Phil Wilde created the project. Soon after, Ray Slijngaard and Anita Doth became its iconic voices. Moreover, their mix of rap and melodic hooks shaped 1990s dance floors. This single came from their second album, No Limits. It followed massive hits like “No Limit” and “Tribal Dance.” Therefore, the track strengthened their dominance across Europe.
Importantly, “Let The Beat Control Your Body” served as the fifth and final single from No Limits. The album version feels mostly instrumental. However, the single version adds Ray’s sharp rap verses. In addition, Anita delivers a soaring melodic chorus. This balance defined the group’s sound. Meanwhile, the song climbed charts across Europe. It reached number two in the Netherlands. Furthermore, it hit the top ten in the UK, France, Germany, and Belgium. In France, they even released a “Bass Edit.” They changed the lyric to avoid slang confusion.
Visually, the clip captures pure 1994 energy. Fast cuts and bold colors dominate each scene. The duo perform with confidence and charisma. Meanwhile, dancers move in tight, synchronized routines. As a result, the visuals match the pounding beat. The style mirrors other No Limits singles. However, it also hints at the slick polish heard later on Real Things. Therefore, this video stands as a key moment in their career. Even today, it remains a defining Eurodance anthem.
