Playahitty is an Italian Eurodance group best known for their 1994 hit single “The Summer Is Magic,” which became a defining anthem of the Eurodance era. Formed in the mid-1990s, Playahitty captured the vibrant, upbeat energy that characterized the genre, combining catchy melodies, driving dance beats, and bright, feel-good lyrics that celebrated life and freedom.
While often associated with live performances featuring various dancers and models, the actual vocals on Playahitty’s early tracks were performed by singer Giovanna Bersola (also known as Jenny B), who also famously provided vocals for Corona’s “The Rhythm of the Night.” “The Summer Is Magic” became an international success, topping charts across Europe and earning heavy rotation in clubs, on radio, and in summer compilations.
Playahitty’s music is marked by its infectious choruses and quintessential ‘90s Eurodance production—punchy drum machines, uplifting synths, and an unmistakable sense of fun. Though their mainstream popularity was brief, the group left a lasting impact on dance music fans and continues to enjoy nostalgic reverence today. Their songs remain a staple in retro dance sets and summer playlists, preserving the carefree spirit of '90s Eurodance for new generations.
