Wow, this thread sure brings up some great memories. Still impressed with the first time I entered Bocaccio and got my hair blow dried from that sound system!
I wouldn't be surprised if B-Art is Bart Vingerhoeds. He's a guy from Holland who was pretty active in the New Beat scene. He still DJ's under the name DJ Thimbles. "Just as long as I got you" was my favorite house/new beat track for a long time. That catchy drum rhtythm was so wild at that time! I guess 101 did nothing else but release house and techno covers. It may be stealing, but at least it got all those beauties heard over here.
