South Street Player – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind (Chocolate Puma Fresh Fruit Vocal Edit)

Chocolate Puma — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:53:11 +0000

Back in 1993 Strictly Rhythm released a record called ‘South Street Player – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind‘. It was a song produced and performed by Roland Clarke, who you also might know from ‘Armand van Helden’s Flowers‘.

Soon it became quite a big club hit here in The Netherlands. We both loved the record so we decided to license it for our Fresh Fruit Label. For our release we made 2 remixes: Fresh Fruit Deep and Fresh Fruit Dub. Both didn’t have much vocals in it, not because we didn’t like them, but because back then we just didn’t have the equipment to include the full vocals. In those early days our ’studio’ was very basic!

Now, 17 years later, we made a vocal edit of our Fresh Fruit Dub, so you can finally hear it how it was ment to be.
Strictly Rhythm is re-releasing it on the 1st of februari 2010, alongside a remix and dub by Daniel Bovie & Roy Rox.

UPDATE: It’s out now on Beatport!

Busy!

Last month was a very busy month for us! Lots of gigs and lots of studio work!

Bloemendaal was intense, Dance Valley was massive, Matrixx in the park was crazy, Cannes was posh and mad as hell!

We just finished work on our upcoming ‘Defected In The House Amsterdam’ compilation, for which we made lots of special edits and exclusive new tracks, and did collaborations with Baggi Bagovic and Hardsoul. It will be hitting the shops in a few weeks.

Back in 1993 we did a Fresh Fruit Remix of ‘South Street Player – Who Keeps Changing Your Mind’. At that time we had such crappy equipment, that we couldn’t do a full vocal mix, but only a dub. We fixed that now and delivered a full vocal edit of this classic Remix. We also remixed the classic Masters At Work Track ‘Bass Tone’ by Sole Fusion. Both should be out soon on Strictly.

We also remixed a song by two really big international artists, and we think it turned out pretty neat! Expect that within the next few weeks.

We’ll be diving back into the studio now and will be preparing for our upcoming gigs.

Jark Prongo – Helios (Re-issue)

Chocolate Puma — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:06:02 +0000

Back in 1994 we made a track called Helios, which was released under our Jark Prongo moniker on our Fresh Fruit Label.
An underground gem, made with just a Roland W30, R8 and JD990 (all bought at a music store called Helios ;-) ), and recorded in what was then our little bedroom studio.
Now Innervisions Records re-released it for their Secret Weapons series.
It still sounds kinda fresh, so check it out at your favorite download portal (album only) or your local vinyl shop.
