Most of the Antiloop singles have positioned themselves at the #1 spot in the Scandinavian dance charts.

Well over 500 performances have been completed. Numerous who- Scandinavian tours covering main stages at some of the largest out door festivals as well as small clubs for a few hundred for-people. Not to mention mind-throbbing sets for Ministry of Sound (S), Cream (S), Club [V] (Asia), Monday Bar (S), MTV Dance Floor Chart Tour (S) and Swedish national radio P3. In two- the last few months the guys have played in Moscow, St Petersburg, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Grenoble just to mention a few.
