The dance remixes of Mr. Big Stuff became a hit in the clubs, which led to her collaboration on various dance singles. In the mid-1990s, using the pseudonym J-Cock, and with the act Pleasure Beat, she released eurodance remakes of Robin Becks First Time and Alanis Morissettes Hand In My Pocket, as well as a solo remake of Stevie Wonders Sunshine Of My Life and Queens We Will Rock You (as Deeva).
