Party Animals are a pop-gabber group from The Netherlands. The band was created by producers Jeff Porter, Jeroen Flamman together with vocalists MCs Remsy, Evert van Buschbach, Patrick de Moor, Dennis Adam and Paul Grommé. They became the first act in the Netherlands to have their first three singles go straight to number one. [Stichting Nederlandse Top 40, "500 Nr. 1 Hits uit de Top 40", page 330, 9023009444 (Book in Dutch)]

The Party Animals made their introduction on the video for the single "I Wanna Be A Hippy" by Technohead. The clip featured three gabbers and a hippie. The producers Flamman & Abraxas discovered the four Stichting Nederlandse Top 40, "500 Nr. 1 Hits uit de Top 40", page 325, 9023009444 (Book in Dutch)] and saw a potential for opening the mainly underground scene of gabber by making the sound more pop oriented and thus introducing the new genre to a mainstream audience.

The first single was "Have You Ever Been Mellow" which was based on Olivia Newton-John's "Have You Never Been Mellow" and the lyrics still contain parts of the original song with "Never" replaced by "Ever". The music is totally different of course. The single was released in September 1995, however it took three months before it became a #1 hit.

The group stopped in 2000 after considerable success in the Netherlands and even a hit in Hong Kong with "Atomic". They tried it again in 2002 and 2005. However they were not able to revive their earlier success.
