Zeebee meets KREML, Austrian techno-freaks, and together with them establishes D-SIRE. With D-SIRE, Zeebee gains many indie fans in Switzerland, Austria and Canada. The D-SIRE LP "Moving back and forward" becomes a classic for many electronic-minded music fans. D-SIRE was produced by "Eisbär" productions Off Course Records in Switzerland. The single release was on the playlist of the then magnificent DRS 3 radio station for almost a whole year.

She devotes herself to copywriting. starts her own career, so to speak, and works with D-SIRE on a second LP, which never sees the light of day. Zeebee opens her own writing agency, takes flying-lessons, dreams of a career as an acrobatic pilot and still carries on giving music the Zeebee treatment in private, teaching herself how to record and produce tracks using Pro Tools and other great facilities. For pure personal pleasure she joins the jazzy "Anabolica" and the funky "Orange Coffee".
