The duo only produced two singles under the Toxic Two name, namely "Rave Generator" and "Chemical Reaction". "Rave Generator" - in essence, a bootleg remix of Frank de Wulf's track "Pure Pleasure"[3] - entered the UK singles chart in March 1992, and rose to its peak at no. 13 in its third week on the charts.[4] The duo performed the song on Top Of The Pops on 12 March 1992.[5]
