T-Spoon

T-Spoon is a Dutch eurodance project founded in 1991 by rapper Shalamon Baskin (aka Shamrock) and co-founder Remy de Groot (aka Prince Peration). The project signed a recording contract with No More Music.

The band’s name is said to have come from an anecdote: while stirring a cup of tea, Shamrock reportedly said he would rather have a gold record than a gold teaspoon. Prince Peration then came up with the name T-Spoon. A later explanation attributes the name to a sheriff nicknamed Teaspoon in a western TV series.

The group achieved international success from 1993 with its first single No Time 2 Waste, which quickly entered the top 10 across Europe. In the following years, T-Spoon scored hits in many countries, notably the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Israel, Ireland, Scandinavia, South America and, of course, the Netherlands.

Tracks such as A Part of My Life, Where R U Now, Take Me 2 the Limit and the well-known Sex on the Beach made audiences dance worldwide.

The project displayed considerable musical versatility, producing powerful eurodance numbers as well as groovy RnB, energetic happy hardcore, and even euroreggae and eurodisco tunes.

Over their career they released four full studio albums, including a remix CD and a greatest hits compilation. Members and collaborators involved with the project include Jean Shy, Serge Ramaekers, Dominic Sas, Ingrid Simons, Shalamon Baskin, Remy de Groot, Linda Blokland and Greg Dillard.
