===1999–2005=== The band's debut release was the 1999 album ''[[In Stereo (Bomfunk MC's album)|In Stereo]]'' ([[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony Music]]), which included the singles "[[Freestyler]]", "Uprocking Beats", and "[[B-Boys & Flygirls]]", all of which gained popularity in the [[United Kingdom]]. "Uprocking Beats" reached the number one position on the Finnish Dance charts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehothits.com/artists/1304/bomfunk-mc's |title=Bomfunk MC's - Overview, Biography, Music, Quick and Juicy Facts - The Hot Hits Live from LA |publisher=Thehothits.com |access-date=2012-05-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111203151857/http://www.thehothits.com/artists/1304/bomfunk-mc%27s |archive-date=2011-12-03 }}</ref> ''In Stereo'' sold over 600,000 units.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.take40.com/artists/1304/bomfunk-mc's/bio |title=Bomfunk MC's - Biography, Overview, Music Video & Songs, Facts |publisher=Take 40 |access-date=2012-05-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130207021754/http://www.take40.com/artists/1304/bomfunk-mc%27s/bio |archive-date=2013-02-07 }}</ref> The album's success led to the release of "Freestyler" in [[Scandinavia]] and Germany. By 2000, "Freestyler" had become popular across Europe, becoming the region's highest-selling single of the year. The single also reached the number one position in Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany, and peaked at number two in the United Kingdom. The Bomfunk MC's won the 2000 [[MTV Europe Music Award for Best Nordic Act|Best Nordic Act]] award at the [[MTV Europe Music Awards]]. In 2002, the group released their second album, ''[[Burnin' Sneakers]]'', which included the singles "Super Electric", "[[Live Your Life (Bomfunk MC's song)|Live Your Life]]" featuring Max'C, and "[[(Crack It!) Something Goin' On]]" with [[Jessica Folcker]]. While this album received less international attention, it sold well in Finland. "Something Goin' On" reached the top 10 in Germany. In September 2002, DJ Gismo left the band (later joining the band Stonedeep) and was promptly replaced by Riku Pentti (DJ) and Okke Komulainen (keyboards). After their addition, Bomfunk MC's released a special remix of "Back to Back". In 2004, the group released their third and final album, ''[[Reverse Psychology (album)|Reverse Psychology]]'', under [[Universal Music Group|Universal Music]]. This was preceded by the single "No Way in Hell". Later that year, they released another single, "Hypnotic", featuring Elena Mady. Half of the album was produced by JS16, while the other half was produced by Pentti, Komulainen, and Ville Mäkinen, collectively known as The Skillsters Plus One. ''Reverse Psychology'' and its singles received limited attention outside the Nordic countries. Both singles reached the German top 100 but failed to chart elsewhere in Western Europe. Fan reception was mixed, as many fans continued to see DJ Gismo as a key figure in the band, despite his minimal involvement in the band's music production, apart from providing scratches. Remixes attributed to DJ Gismo were actually produced by JS16, the band's main producer.{{Citation needed|date=May 2012}} In 2006, Bomfunk MC's toured New Zealand during university orientation, performing in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, and Auckland in support of their album ''Reverse Psychology''.<ref>{{cite web|title= Bomfunk MCs coming to NZ|url=http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/CU0601/S00061.htm|access-date=2014-09-17}}</ref>
