Back in the 90s, we came up with the alias Jark Prongo as a kind of response to the success of The Good Men’s and Fresh Fruit Records’ uplifting sound. We imagined Jark Prongo as a character, someone creating music with a deeper, tougher, or just weirder sound. Even now, we’ll sometimes say, “Let’s Jark,” and instantly know what the other means.

We don’t remember exactly when or how, but someone gave us a 1978 Korg MS-20 semi-modular synthesizer, and for years, it just sat in our studio unused, because we had no idea what to do with it. One day, staring at all those jack inputs on the Korg, we decided to plug in a few patch cables. Then we had a brilliant idea: to connect our TR-909 drum machine to the MS-20’s audio input. Suddenly, the synth was making all kinds of wobbly noises, reacting to the 909’s kick and hi-hat. We looked at each other like, “Holy sh*t!” A happy accident turned into what’s now known as Movin’ Thru Your System.

We released it on our label Pssst Music in 1998, and soon after, Hooj Choons picked it up, with remixes by Dave Clarke and Slacker.

And now, today sees the release of a banging remix by . It’s super heavy and in-your-face. We think it’s amazing and absolutely does justice to the original. Hopefully, you’ll love it as much as we do!

It was the year 2000 when we created a new track with this kid named Ivo, who we had heard singing with his band in a square in our hometown of Haarlem. We came up with a new name, Chocolate Puma, pressed a few vinyl records (pic 3), and added an email address on them—then kind of forgot about it. We thought, “Okay, nice, we sold a few copies, and that’s it.” But then we remembered the email.

You have to keep in mind that our world wasn’t as digital as today’s. We still used fax machines, wrote postcards to our grannies, and recorded our music on tape. YouTube or social media didn’t exist. Anyway, when we finally checked our inbox, we were in for a surprise. We found countless offers from labels wanting to sign “I Wanna Be U,” and Pete Tong asking for a new copy because his was worn out from playing it so much. Fast forward a few months, and we signed a record deal with Cream, recorded a video, went to the UK, performed on Top of the Pops, and ended up at #6 on the UK Top 40 pop chart (pic 4).

Now, 24 years later, we’re thrilled that the first Chocolate Puma song ever is getting a new life with ’s version. We hope it brings back some nice memories for those who remember it from when it first came out, and we’re very excited that our song might reach a new generation, a new audience.
