And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Richie Kaczor was among the DJs who influenced Hippie Torrales. His style from the New York club scene helped shape Torrales’s approach in the formative days of turntablism.
2. “Let Love Shine” peaked at #31 in the UK charts in March 1995. It was a brief journey for the song, reflecting its moderate success.
3. “Let’s Hang On!” was created by Bob Crewe, Sandy Linzer, and Denny Randell. The Four Seasons’ original introduced a dynamic pop sound, which later inspired covers.
4. Trickster (CMV) covered “Move On Up,” originally by Curtis Mayfield. The cover kept the high-energy spirit of the original soul-funk anthem.
5. Spacedust’s “Let’s Get Down” samples “I Want Your Love” by Chic. The sample connects this track to its disco heritage through unmistakable Chic grooves.
6. Carlton McCarthy provided vocals on “1 to 1 Religion.” His contribution is part of the track’s distinct trip hop vibe from the album Clear.
7. Haddaway’s “Rock My Heart” is on *The Album*, released in 1993. The song was part of his debut collection, which gained significant traction in the charts.
8. Ferry Corsten used his Pulp Victim alias for “The World.” This identity permitted a distinct creative outlet amid his many musical endeavors.
9. Giorgio Moroder’s original “Chase” was in Midnight Express. The track’s haunting melodies underscored the tension of the 1978 film.
10. DJ Scott’s “Sweet Dreams” hit #12 on the UK charts. The track reached this peak in April 1995, affirming its place in electronic music culture.
11. David Green and Ian Masterson wrote “Disremembrance.” They crafted this track for Dannii Minogue with production by Flexifinger.
