Their first album Romeo ja Julia sold double platinum, peaked at #1 and stayed in the official Finnish Album charts for 38 weeks. The album produced three Top-10 hits in the Top 20 singles chart: "Romeo ja Julia" (#2), "Ristinolla" (#1 for two weeks) and the ballad "Alla koivupuun" (#10). A platinum edition of the album was released with four bonus tracks.

The group's second album Soittorasia was released in October 1996 and sold gold immediately. By the end of the year, the album had sold over 40,000 copies and gone platinum. Hits such as "Prinssi" (#6) and "Flavio" (#8) were included in the album.

Third album 3. aste was released in November 1997. Two lead singles were released before the album. More heavy oriented "Tellusnainen" and basic Eurodance song "Lähden", both of which flopped in singles chart. Album sold little less than 10,000 copies and did not manage to reach Top-40 Albums chart at all.

Movetron decided to change their singing language to English and they also had a new member Chris Sanders (from 1990s hit group 3rd Nation) and they released new single "VoodooMan". It peaked #15 in singles chart.

A new album was released in July 2000, selling approximately 1,000 copies. Movetron decided to break up.
