      In the same year (1988) was released on Target Records, from Hi-Hat - Rock To The Beat too.

        A major 'mix-thing' track in the New Beat / Acid House era that got played EVERYwhere - To simple for todays crowds but worth a spin every now and again for nostalgic purposes... deadpan Female vocals pre-date Miss Kittens nonchalant delivery and the later 'Electroclash' movement.

          note the tiny "remix" on the cover: this version has re-recorded vocals (both "rock to the beat" and "acieeed").

            The story of this track started at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, with the "Rock To The Beat" track by Reese & Santonio. Maurice Engelen heard this track and liked it a lot, but apparently the track was very hard to get here in Europe at that time. So he decided to do a "remix / cover" of the original Saunderson / Echols track, when sampling was something less strict than these days, with some vocals of Jade 4U over it.
            The track of 101 got a HUGE success in Belgium and nearby countries during the New Beat era, where there was no night this track wasn't played in Belgian discotheques. Indirectly this was also probably the biggest US contribution to the New Beat genre.

              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...

                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.
