When Tony And Simon’s Remix Of ‘Hooked’ Arrived It Was A Stunner. Staying Almost 100% To The Original Arrangement The Dynamic Duo Subtly Tweaked Every Element Of The Track Stretched It And Molded It Into An Almost Ten Minute Epic Of Gargantuan Proportions. Shivers Were Sent Down Spines Arms Were Held Aloft And Tears Of Joy Were Shed Across Club Land. After Almost Three Months Of Blanket Airplay On Kiss FM The Record Gate Crashed The National Top 30 And Debuted In The National Dance Charts At Number Two. The Follow Up ‘I’ll Be There’ Did Similar Damage But Never Held Clubbers Attentions Like The Previous Hit Although It Was Play Listed On National Radio One. So To A Gap Of Two Years And In ‘98 Adrian Had Persuaded Pete Wardman At Kiss FM To Conjure Up An Updated Version Of ‘Hooked’. And So The Buzz Began Again With The White Label Shifting 3000 Copies Backed With A Rare Remix From Sucker Punk .

Another Reworking From Hard House Legend Paul King Also Got A Limited Run On One Sided 12 Inch. In October 2005 ‘I’ll Be There’ Got The Once Over From The Killer Hurts And Nik Dentons ‘Pulse Fiction’ Guise Appearing As A Toolbox Single.
