Edinburgh duo conquer Japan in international dance charts

2Moreish do what many others couldn't by topping the Japan Dance Music Charts through DJ Pools

While the UK music industry looks for the next big thing, Edinburgh-based duo 2Moreish (Craig and Debbz Stephens) have already found it—6,000 miles away. The pair are celebrating a massive international milestone after their high-energy reimagining of the Eurythmics classic, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” skyrocketed to #1 on the Japanese Dance Charts.

This follows hot on the heels of their debut record, which peaked at #2, cementing 2Moreish as a dominant new force in the Far East.

​The "Independent Hustle"

Unlike many acts backed by major label machines, the success of 2Moreish is the result of pure "boots-on-the-ground" hard work. Craig and Debbz personally spearheaded the campaign, working through global DJ pools to break into the notoriously difficult Japanese market.

​“We knew the sound was right, and we knew the energy was there,” says Craig Stephens. “To see an Edinburgh act sitting at the top of the charts in Japan is incredible. Now, our mission is to bring that same #1 energy back home to the UK festival circuit.”

2Moreish is its own beast. Their sound bridges the gap between the euphoric "Rave Scene" nostalgia and modern, chart-topping production.

​What’s Next?

With their international credentials firmly established, 2Moreish are now setting their sights on the UK summer festival season for 2026 and 2027, aiming for slots.

​“We’ve done the legwork abroad,” says Debbz Stephens. “Now we want to show our home crowd why Japan fell in love with 2Moreish.”
