It all began when a German named Mr. Jens Moeller a.k.a Moelli of the "Blue Light Records", situated in Germany was in search of a serious rapper to feature on the his Girl Group "Flash4Dream" on their english version of the album "Flashback". The album contains pop songs for the European dance floor but also has some ballads songs on them. Because of the contact Moelli had with Roberto of Hit Digital Production, Ghana, he decided to let a Ghanaian Rapper feature in two tracks of the album. After several choices of some artistes, Roberto selected DJ Turbo, because of his unique rap style and creativity. Also two backing vocal ladies from Ghana featured in two tracks of the "FlashBack" album.

DJ Turbo will be going to Germany in September, 2004 to perform together with the Girl Group. Turbo has already been invited last year for the launching party in Germany. The interest to see Turbo in Germany perform alongside Flash4Dream was very high when the "Flashback? album came out and will honour their invitation this time round. It would definitely be a premiere for the three Girls and DJ Turbo when they go on stage.
