Today’s video of the day is Sash! – "Encore Une Fois" released in 1996.

Energy and melody collide in “Encore Une Fois,” a defining 1996 dance anthem from Sash!. The track blends Eurodance rhythm with rising trance elements. As a result, it became one of the most recognizable club hits of the 1990s. The song features spoken French vocals from Sabine Ohmes. Meanwhile, its title translates to “once more” or “one more time.” The video mirrors the song’s hypnotic drive. Fast cuts, club imagery, and flashing lights capture the era’s underground rave culture. Consequently, the visual style matches the track’s relentless beat and uplifting synths.

Sash! formed in Germany during the mid-1990s. The project was led by Sascha Lappessen with producers Ralf Kappmeier and Thomas Lüdke. Together, they created a sound that blended Eurodance hooks with trance energy. Soon after release, “Encore Une Fois” exploded across European clubs. It later reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. In addition, it topped the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart. The single appears on the debut album It’s My Life – The Album. Therefore, the song helped introduce the group’s multilingual dance concept to a global audience.

However, “Encore Une Fois” was only the beginning. The album also produced international hits like Ecuador and La Primavera. Each track used different languages and guest vocalists. As a result, Sash! built a distinctive international style. Later albums continued the formula while exploring deeper trance influences. Nevertheless, “Encore Une Fois” remains their signature moment. Even decades later, DJs still play it worldwide. Consequently, the song stands as a timeless bridge between 90s Eurodance and modern trance culture.
