About Shakti
Shakti was the very first recorded project for Maurice Engelen aka [[artist:Praga Khan]] and Jos Borremans aka [[artist:Chris Inger]], who later on became the Belgian newbeat and techno moguls with a dozen of simultaneous projects throughout the late 1980s and early-mid 1990s, most notably as the [[artist:Lords Of Acid]].
Shakti started as a gothic / New Wave sound influenced band, and gradually turned over to the more commercial euro-techno sound, adding Nikkie Van Lierop aka [[artist:Jade 4U]] to their lineup. By this time, already recording under a few other guises, the Shakti project was abandoned.
The entire Shakti material, which consisted of one EP and one single, was compiled and released in 1990, in addition to a few more contemporary material from the era which was eventually released under the name of [[artist:Jade 4U]].
