Both Liken and Adimora later continued to release solo material and remained active as DJs, remixers and producers under the names Tim Deluxe and DJ Omar / Omar Chandla, respectively. Deluxe had a hit in 2002 with his second solo single, "It Just Won't Do", which reached the top 20 charts in five countries including the UK where it peaked at No. 14.[4]
