"SL2 was the name of a hardcore/rave music act in the early 1990s from London, England. They also recorded, remixed or produced under the names Slipmatt & Lime and T.H.C.The act consisted of DJ/remixers Matt "Slipmatt" Nelson & John "Lime" Fernandez, with MC Jason "Jay J" James providing vocals, and were accompanied by two female rave/breakbeat dancers, Jo Millett (Lime's girlfriend at the time, and who would later become a Jungle music producer) and Kelly Overett (who would later go on to be a member of the Italian eurodance act Cappella). The latter two appeared with Nelson, Fernandez & James in live shows and their videos.By 1992, SL2 had joined the many rave artists who would cross over to the UK chart, with a pair of hits, "Way In My Brain" and "On A Ragga Tip". The latter was also their highest charting hit in their career, peaking at number 2 in the UK in April 1992. It was sampled from a reggae number from Jah Screechie entitled "Walk and Skank" (which itself was based on Slim Smith's "Never Let Go"). "Way In My Brain" (a reworking of Wayne Smith's "Under Me Sleng Teng"), originally a B-Side to "DJs Take Control" and listed together as a single during the former's chart run, recharted via a new remix, peaking at number 28 that summer. By 1993 the act had broken up but would reform again in 1998 after "On A Ragga Tip" was re-released with new mixes. As of 2009 the duo has resumed producing and DJing, this time focusing on the Ravebreakz style sub-genre. The song "On A Ragga Tip" was included as music on the video game FIFA Street. It was also homaged for a Bollywood song titled "Amma Dekh Tera Munda Bigda Jaye" in 1994 for the film Stuntman." - Wikipedia
