Some history!
The 99th Floor Elevators were formed in London, UK in the mid 1990s and had a handful of independent dance label 12 inch vinyl releases out until they were picked up by Warner Bros subsidiary PWL/Labello Dance and had two massive top 10 hits in the UK's national dance charts with 'Hooked' and 'I'll Be There'.
The Elevators are best known for huge UK dance anthem 'Hooked' which has been championed by just about every hard house DJ in the UK over the years including OD404, Pete Wardman, Steve Thomas, the late but great (and much missed) Tony de Vit and 100s of other names across clubland.
The Elevators are now based in Southwest Florida and have some much awaited new tracks coming on Buzzsonic Records in 2009. On top of that 'Hooked' has been picked up again for the remix treatment in the UK by Suesse Records
Meanwhile, the Toolbox Recordings issued 12 inchers of both 'I'll Be There' and 'Hooked' are still to be found at select vinyl specialists.Toolbox Recordings . 'I'll Be There' was licensed by Toolbox from the 99th Floor Elevators own USA imprint Buzzsonic Records. 'I'll Be There' comes with tough new mixes from UK DJ/remix-production team, the Killer Hurts and from DJ Nik Denton, aka Pulse Fiction. There's a further remix from UK Hard House don, Paul King just released as part of a Paul King double sider too.
