Usually cars, usually go, usually boom

While gallivanting around the Web this morning I discovered a connection that may be common knowledge, but is new to me.

There was (and maybe still is) a production trio Davis Stone Klein, comprising Larry Davis (whose writing credits are under the name L. Julian, "Julian" being his middle name), Joe Stone (I think he's related to Henry Stone of the important '70s Miami disco label TK Records), and Paul Klein. Back in '91, under the moniker DSK, they put out the house track "What Would We Do"; a number of people (perhaps including Davis, Stone, and Klein themselves) re-worked or remixed this in various underground garage versions sometime in the mid or late '90s; and the vocal hook is sampled on Wiley's "Wearing My Rolex," which right now in the nowadays is likely to make a number of your year-end ballots!

But let's go back further in time. Releasing records as DSK and producing records for others, Davis, Stone, and Klein had actually been knocking around for quite a while in the '80s, where THEIR PRODUCTION CREDITS INCLUDE L'TRIMM, e.g., the great single "Cars With The Boom" and the great album (with 9 out of 10 boom-equal tracks) Drop That Bottom. This is a pretty interesting story that maybe you could fill in for me, DSK's career, since I know little about it beyond their work with L'Trimm.
