I don't like how Discogs and others give us Schattenmann, but actually show it under Dave Joy because Dave Joy presents Schattenmann is how it's released. Schattenmann is the group name. Now, in this case, Dave Joy is a member of Schattenmann. And no doubt they were hoping to capitalize on the success Dave Joy had had with "First Impression." But "Amplifier" is not a Dave Joy song, it's a Schattenmann song.
I don't know how successful this song was, although I do know that another Dave Joy trio, Basic Dawn, certainly had a pretty decent hit with "Pure Thrust." Dave Joy wasn't a super prolific artist, sadly, because I tend to like most of what he did, both on his own and with the various groups he worked with; both with original tracks and with remixes.
Of course, Dave Joy was his stage name; his real name is Marc Hunziker, and he was a Swiss DJ. Most of the groups he worked with both as remixer, as a member, or other collaborator of some kind or another, were also all Swiss too—a nationality that doesn't seem to have completely forgotten how to put its own people first.
