Tzant
musical artist
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. Tzant's first two releases also found moderate success on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.
The group consisted of Jamie White, Marcus Thomas (a.k.a. ODC MC, formerly of Clock) and Moussa Clarke. White and Clarke also released records under the name PF Project. White also later released tracks under the name Mirrorball with Jamie Ford, while Clarke, together with Nick Hanson, released under the name Musique. PF Project mixed the first Euphoria compilation album, which peaked at number 1 on the UK compilation chart in 1999. In 2008, Marcus Thomas co-penned Roebeck's underground hit "Just Wanna Be Loved", from the album Hurricanes on Venus, alongside composer Luke Corradine.

Why this record matters
“Tzant” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tzant, musical and artist provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7861943. VIAF identifies the subject as 139921844. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2008.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
