It was first released on Great Stuff Recordings in late 2006, but was later re-released with many remixes, by [Tomcraft](/source/Tomcraft) and DJ F.E.X., among others. ==Background== "Exceeder" was Mason's third single; his first two singles, "Helikopter" and "The Screetch", were released in 2004 and 2005, respectively, to little fanfare. He and Coen Berrier composed "Exceeder" in late 2005, carrying inspiration from the "Electro Nation" parties which they and other Dutch DJs threw in cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Mason was concerned that it sounded too cheap and clichéd to release as a single, however, so he originally made it a [B-side](/source/B-side) to an [Italo disco](/source/Italo_disco) track called "Follow Me",{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaK0gf3sAdM|title=The story behind "Exceeder" by Mason | Muzikxpress 128|date=December 19, 2020|via=YouTube}} which, in his own words, "nobody cared about because when it came out, people were pushing for the B-side". Originally released solely in the Netherlands through independent label Middle of the Road Records, "Exceeder" started gaining traction and became the subject of a bidding war, which culminated with Mason deciding to sign with Great Stuff Recordings, a renowned house and techno label in Germany. It gained massive popularity on [Beatport](/source/Beatport) and became one of the most popular tunes in [Ibiza](/source/Ibiza) in the summer of 2006.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RisQxWBqOY|title=Mason vs Princess Superstar 'Perfect (Exceeder)' | The Making Of A Dance Anthem|author=DJ Mag|date=28 April 2024|via=YouTube|accessdate=11 October 2025}} Many DJs later found "Exceeder" to be a desirable track to dub lyrics onto, and created songs such as "[Technologic](/source/Technologic) Exceeder", "[Fergalicious](/source/Fergalicious) Exceeder", and "[Hollaback](/source/Hollaback_Girl) Exceeder".
