Biography
MC Miker G & DJ Sven were a hip hop duo from the Netherlands. The duo consisted of Lucien Witteveen (MC Miker G) and Sven van Veen (DJ Sven). The 1980s saw the two launch "Holiday Rap", a remixed version of Madonna's hit "Holiday", to international success.
Witteveen and Van Veen became acquainted in 1986 in a disco in Hilversum. Here the idea for a version of the Madonna hit developed. Their single "Holiday Rap" became an international success, occupying number one on the single charts in 34 countries and reaching the Top Ten in twelve further countries.
The follow-up single "Celebration Rap" (based on the Kool & the Gang hit "Celebration") did not repeat this success, but still made it into the Top Ten in approximately 30 countries.
