Bump ‎– I'm Rushing

I was 22 when this track was released and having grown out of the big outdoor parties and raves of the time, I started hitting the clubs once again where, in the winter of 1992, Bumps I'm Rushing was blowing up everywhere.

While it's obviously now well passed it's sell by date and, in the great scheme of things, is probably a rather ordinary dance track in comparison to most of the others, the fact remains that this is one of only a handful of tracks that many people would say captured perfectly the general mood and feelings of a lot of people of a certain age at that particular time. Using a fairly simple and obvious sample, which is driven along with a snappy break that comes into its own midway through, the real nostalgic magic and poigancy of Bump's I'm Rushing comes with the simple yet appropriate stuttering lyrics, which when it was bellowing out of speakers in dark sweaty nightclubs in the UK in 1992 is exaclty what we were doing.
