In 1994, the 99th Floor Elevators released 'Hooked', initially as a white label with vocals from house diva Anne Marie Smith. Heavily influenced by Giorgio Moroder, disco and labels like Hooj Choons, Tidy Trax, early Tripoli Trax and Tony De Vits setlist it quickly gained support from influential DJs like Pete Wardman at Sherbert, Tony De Vit at Trade, and Graham Gold at Kiss FM in London.
The turning point arrived when a remix by Tony De Vit of 'Hooked' hit clubland. The track quickly gained a cult following sending club-goers into a frenzy and was soon snapped up by Warner Bros offshoot PWL. Their efforts did not go in vain; the track astoundingly gatecrashed the national top 30 pop charts in the UK and climbed to number two in the national dance charts.
The follow-up, ‘I’ll Be There’, again with vocals from Anne Marie Smith and mixes from Tony De Vit and Pete Wardman entered the national UK charts and found its way onto the daytime playlist at BBC Radio One.
Hooked recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with a limited 12-inch vinyl release on Tidy Trax with new remixes from the Tidy Boys and Nicholson.
