I’ll often scour Google for any 99th Floor Elevators activity so imagine my surprise to stumble on a new ‘Hooked’ mashup (let’s forget the one with Michael Jackson that sounds like two blokes falling down the stairs!). This one welds together Bronski Beat’s ‘Hit That Perfect Beat’ with the Steve Thomas Tripoli Trax remix of ‘Hooked’ (from 2000).
It actually blends pretty well, with not too many grating audio clashes and the onus is on Bronski’s vocal with Thomas’s chunky remix pushing up from the rear. Not a classic but done pretty well. This all comes courtesy of the DefPunk crew from Germany.
