Jark Prongo and Rene et Gaston, but also Trancesetters, Jamshed, 51 Days, Tata Box Inhibitors and The Good Men (!) are all done by three Dutch guys: Zki, Dobre and Jamez, although usually it's two of the three, with Dobre being the most involved. The best categorisation of their music would be tribal, trancey house (trancey in a good way, mind you!). Their releases have been on their own Fresh Fruit, Touche and Pssst! labels, see Amazing Discographies (ad.techno.org) for more info. Especially the earlier stuff on those labels is well worth hunting down, it has a very distinctive sound that still sounds pretty fresh these days. Otto PS I have a compilation with a solo track by Dobre - 'Trashcan' that I really like. Does anyone know whether this track was ever released as a separate EP?
