Spadet & M-Tech Re-release
The new release on the Mojuba sublabel features two classic and timeless moments of Dutch techno music. Last year René Et Gaston convinced us all with the fabulous “Merluche Ideal EP” and now they are back under their infamous Jark Prongo pseudonym. The main track “Spadet” was also one of the chosen tracks for the legendary X-Mix by Kevin Master Reese Saunderson on Studio K7!, and even after more than a decade since its original release, there are still goosebumps while hearing the magnificent sounds of that tune! The B-Side might be less know but it still captures that special feeling and the power of true detroit techno which never left our hearts. The whole package was remastered to today’s standards by no other than the sound connoisseur Monsieur Redshape!

Chocolate Puma exclusively signs to Defected Records
Chocolate Puma - the innovative Dutch house masters exclusively sign to Defected Records.
”René and Gaston are a constant source of quality. For over a decade they have delivered a diversity of underground classics and crossover anthems….mostly under different monikers. It is time to join the dots for Zki and Dobre, Jark Prongo, The Good Men…aka Chocolate Puma!”
Simon Dunmore Defected head of A & R.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Chocolate Puma were a bizarre pair of confectionary trainers. In reality they are the highly respected headlining production duo Zki (René ter Horst) and Dobre (Gaston Steenkist) from Amsterdam.
Known as the original Dutch house masters, they are best known for their huge 1992 crossover dance track ‘Give It Up’ under their ‘The Good Men’ moniker (one of many including Jark Prongo and René et Gaston). The track reached no.6 in the UK charts and was an international hit across the world despite being created in Gaston’s bedroom on a small mixer and broken speakers.
Chocolate Puma have now found a new home at Defected and are poised ready to deliver a steady stream of new productions and remixes.
