History

The duo became known for the single "Satisfied" which sampled from the Chaka Khan 1984 hit "I Feel for You".[1][2] In 2021, they were one of the remixers of "Wellerman", a sea shanty originally recorded by the British singer Nathan Evans. The Official Chart Company gave the remixers a chart credit alongside the singer (as Nathan Evans x 220 Kid x Billen Ted) with the remix of the song topping the UK Singles Chart in March 2021. It also charted in other countries.[3][4][5] The duo then followed up the number one with "When You’re Out", a version of Kandi’s "Don’t Think I’m Not" with Eurovision star Mae Muller on vocals.[6] As this record did not chart in the Top 75 it made the duo one-hit wonders.[7]

On 20 June 2024, Billen Ted charted outside the Top 75[8] with a version of "Man In Finance (G6 Trust Fund)" by Girl On Couch.[9][10] This release saw their version of Megan Boni's song "Man In Finance" being further remixed by David Guetta, with all three acts[11] sharing a chart credit for their number 89 song.[12]

They have also produced for Melanie C[13][14] and Gracey.[2]
