In 1995, the band released their Singles “I Wanna B with U”, “Celebration” and the Manfred Mann cover version retitled and shortened “Doh Wah Diddy”, all chart hits, peaking at nos. 11, 12 and 6 on the German Singles Charts. The same Year, Fun Factory released their second Studio Album Fun-Tastic. By this time they began to become more popular throughout Europe and even saw some of their songs to Chart in the United States and Canada. The follow up single release was “Don’t Go Away”, becoming their last chart success. “Don’t Go Away” was also the last single to be promoted by the band as a quartet, when Cottura left the band. As a trio, the group released two more further singles, the ballad “I Love You” and “Oh Yeah Yeah (I Like It)”. The first of these was dedicated to the leaving member Cottura at the end of the music video, while no video was made for the latter, due to their sudden disbandment in 1997. This is why on the “I Love You” single version, the first rap verse by Cottura was re-recorded by Browarczyk, which became his first and yet only solo Rap verse in a Fun Factory single. In 1996, Cottura started releasing some solo singles and founded the hip-hop and R&B collective and record label, Booya Family, where he produced tracks for a variety of artists including NANA, Pappa Bear, Ray Horton, Jonestown, A.K. Swift and Alex Prince. He also produced Tracks for the Boy Bands *N Sync and Backstreet Boys.
