Ace of Base
Nineties Swedish group
Ace of Base is a Swedish pop group that achieved international success in the 1990s with synthesizer-driven dance tracks like "The Sign" and "All That She Wants." The name plays on the phrase ace in the hole while referencing the group's electronic, bass-heavy sound.
Their style exemplifies Eurodance pop of that era.
