Kevin Starke - 151

It is obvious that Kevin was going for that old school sound of simple drum beats and a TB-303 acid house sound! He stays 100% true to the original acid house sound. So you know what to expect.

At first sight this track appears to be exclusive and not released any other way. In fact this track is almost identical to "Fingers In The Dyke" on the 1992 2X12" album "Anarchic Adjustments". The joke on this flexidisc also indicates this, as Jeroen asks if he (being Dutch) could take his finger out of the dyke now. The story goes that Dutch schoolboy Hans Brinker has once saved a dyke by placing his finger in this dyke, which was about to collapse under the pressure of the water leaking through a small hole. This legend has its roots in the novel "Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates" by Mary Mapes Dodge, first published in 1865 in the USA. Unlike this flexidisc, the album features the track "Fingers In The Dyke" without Jeff Porters vocals unfortunately. In that way this track is unique.
"Name of the DJ" has become a huge underground hit, primarily due to the alternating bassdrum. According to Mokum website Francois himself argues that the "Name of the DJ" is the best Mokum track ever!The sample "At the count of three I want you all to tell me the name of my DJ, one two three" comes from "terminator X to the edge of panic" from the legendary Public Enemy album "It takes a nation of millions to hold us back".
Although Sander Friedeman (Zero (Z)One) found it really hard to get an Acid track together, Saskia Slegers (Djax-up-beats) loved it, for obvious reasons. "Gives Your Body" has become a classic, much to the surprise of Zero One himself."Cem Jam" is actually a remix of "Give Your Body" It is the result of Sander Friedeman and Arno Peeters working together. CEM means; Centrum voor Electronische Muziek. (Centre for Electronic Music)

This is a totally underrated record. It combined tribal with eurotechno in 1992 when mellow-, techno- and hardcorefans were going separate ways. I only know of the original Italian pressing. It think there's no repress and it hasn't been licensed by another label. But it's not completely unknown since it appeared on the Houseparty IV megamix.
