The proto Acid House sound of German New Wave group, Liaisons Dangereuse from their 1981 record “Los Ninos Del Parque” (“Little Kids in the Park”). Liaisons Dangereuse were formed by Beate Bartel (Mania D, Einstürzende Neubauten) and Chrislo Haas (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft) together with vocalist Krishna Goineau. They were part of the early 80s Neue Deutsche Welle scene in Germany. They only put out one album, which was produced by Conny Plank.

Beyond that, you can find out very little about the group who created this influential, oft-copied, dance-floor standard because they shunned the music business and promotional efforts entirely. Over the years there have been a number of remixes of the song and 12” records can still fetch a pretty penny even in the digital age. A number of DJs from the Chicago and Detroit underground music scenes have cited the influence of this song, which also seems to have been a big inspiration for New Order, Primal Scream circa Screamedelica, as well as “body music” groups like KMFDM, Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb.
