Although "Rock To The Beat" is, and shall always be, a stone cold classic in its many variations its "Move Your body" that is a real 'slept on' classic in its own right. It obviously takes alot from "Rock to the beat" as regards to the sound and percussion but its the way this does thats so interesting... The subtle key changes in this track turns it into a full on piece of Belgium sound for the NewBeat Generation.
Coupled with the beautiful if not monotone voice of (if I'm not mistaken?) "JADE 4U" and the TB303 acid i cannot help playing this time and time again. Excellent stuff...
Rated 5/5

The 'European Techno Mix' of 101 is truly one of the most important New Beat classics. The original track was made by Saunderson & Echols, but this version of 101 was the most famous one in Europe due to the Acid House & New Beat fever.
