Tzant were a British electronic music group, who had three top 40 singles between 1996 and 1998. Their debut "Hot and Wet (Believe It)", featuring Verna Francis, made number 36 on the UK Singles Chart during September 1996, and two further singles ("Sounds of Wickedness", their most successful single, and "Bounce with the Massive") would make the top 40 in 1998.[1] Tzant's first two releases also found moderate success on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.[2]

The group consisted of Jamie White, Marcus Thomas (a.k.a.
