Refound this classic in a short/reel and instantly brought me back to 99. Simple but effective dance floor beast that I wouldnt hesistate to mix into a classic set today! R. I. P. Heaven Night Club, Canberra, Australia. IYKYK 😈

Funny - it never occurred to me at the time that this track uses The Don's - "The Horn Song" - perhaps because it was pitched-up so often in clubs. However listening to this 20+ years later is is just so completely obvious. Still an amazing and very effective track even if it is not the most original.

I have fond memories of hearing this at God's Kitchen @ Amnesia Ibiza in 99 - when the co2 went off on the drop... it was ... well maybe you just had to be there.

As I dig around my records I pull out this lil gem from the past.. This shit got play everywhere radio/club/underground. Yeah might be a lil boring today but it had that damn catchy tune that got people engaged and really thats what its all about. The rollercoaster mix also got its love by many.

I own this record, but it turns out that the cover and the macaron of the disc are totally wrong. This is actually 12 "896 271-6, have others had the same problem please?

This song is very unique to me, in the sense that the first time I heard this song I hated it, and that's very rare for me because I tend to find some charm whatever tracks I listen to for the first time, but this one just annoys the hell out of me. It has one of the most boring melodies that stuck on repeat and doesn't really go anywhere. I never understood how this became so popular, why it was played so often, or why my friends seemed to love it so much. I guess i'm the odd one in that case, not like I care, i'd rather be the odd one out then listen to this track.

The melody in this track is "borrowed" from The Don - "The Horn Song" released in 1998 on Strictly Rhythm.
