The Goodmen

The Goodmen

The Goodmen are a house music duo from Amsterdam, the Netherlands: Gaston Steenkist ("Dobre") and René Horst ("DJ Zki"). Their biggest hit was "Give It Up", a house music track based upon loud, samba-styled percussion and the simple, repeating vocal line of the song title. It hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1993 and made a brief appearance on the Hot 100, peaking at #71. After being re-released in late 1993, it reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart.

In 2001 they returned to the dance chart under the artist names of Mechanical Soul Saloon, F-action, Chocolate Puma (with which they had a UK #6 hit with "I Wanna Be U"), Basco, DJ Manta, DJ Zki & Dobre, Fresh Tunes, Glenn Masters, Jark Prongo, Klatsch!, René Et Gaston, Rhythmkillaz, Riva, Stainless, and Tomba Vira.

In 1995 Simply Red sampled "Give It Up" for "Fairground", their UK Number One hit of that year.
