Basic Element is a Swedish music group within Eurodance . The group comes from Malmö and originally consisted of Peter Thelenius (Petrus), keyboardist Cesar Zamini and singer Zetma Prenbo . Currently the group consists of Peter Thelenius and his band who still deliver 60-100 gigs every year at the biggest 90s festivals around Europe.

Peter Thelenius and Cesar Zamini started the group in 1992 and applied through the employment agency for a singer and found Zetma Prenbo. In 1993 they got a record deal with EMI Records and their first single "Move me" was released. This was followed in 1994 by the big hit "The Promise Man" which, among other things, became number one on the Tracks list .

In 1995 , Prenbo left the band when she became pregnant, she was replaced by Saunet Sparell . A new album including the singles "The Ride" and "The Fiddle" was released. In 1995, Thelenius and Zamini began to disagree about the future of the band and Zamini left the band. Thelenius has subsequently continued with the band himself. On the third album Star Tracks , the sound changed and became more like 1970s disco . After that, the band took a break and Thelenius released a solo record in 1997 called Petrus . In 1998 , Basic Element came back with a new album with the original Eurodance sound and with Marie Fredriksson (not to be confused with the singer of Roxette) as a new singer.

From 1999 , the two members took a longer break from Basic Element, but in 2005 the group returned with a reworked version of their old hit "This must be a dream" from 1995, and with Jonas Wesslander as a new member of the band. In February 2006 , a new single called "Raise the gain" was released with a slightly different sound. On February 7, 2007 , Basic Element released their comeback album The Empire Strikes Back . In 2007, Marie Fredriksson left the group and was replaced by Andrea Myrander as singer. She left the group in January 2011 but made a comeback in 2014.
