The Boomtang Boys were remix guys who recorded a few singles in the 90s. They returned in 2002 as Boomtang and scored their biggest hit with Movin' On. The Boomtown Boys were from Toronto. They were Tony Grace, his brother Paul Grace and Ron DeBoer. They started out in the early 90s doing remixes for Charlene Smith, The Philosopher Kings and Ashley MacIssac among others. They signed with Virgin Canada and released the 1999 album Greatest Hits Vol. 1. They scored a top ten hit single in Canada with the single Squeeze Toy featuring Kim Esty. After Paul Grace left in 2000, Tony Grace and DeBoer changed the group name to Boomtang and released the 2002 album Wet. The single Movin' On topped the Canadian charts. Grace and DeBoer play all the instruments. The vocals are by Divine Earth Essence which is Divine Brown and her sisters Boo Boo and Michelle. The album is available as a digital download. Though Grace and DeBoer continued to do remixes, they never recorded again as Boomtang. They formed the jazz group Four80East in 1997 and have concentrated on that. Their latest album was released in 2020. Paul Grace died in 2019. Here's the video for Movin' On by Boomtang.
