"I said it before and I'll say it again, dance when the record spins" vocal is sampled from Catch-22 "Boogie Down (Do It)".

Top tune and instantly recognisable from the first break. We have superb memories attached to this track going back to the original rave days. Join us on our other page if your into this sort of music and era @ http://facebook.com/weloveoldskool

According to Jim from Synchronize Studios in London (where it was recorded), Ritchie Malone didn't do much on the production of this tune. Was more the work of Martin Spreckley (the co-writer). Vocals were by Lizzy D.

This is a classic 'old skool' track from the golden era, if somewhat camp for the 1991-92 hardcore/rave scene. I guess it was no surprise then, that the 1995 remixes were mainly hardbag. The Tony De Vit and Blu Peter mixes haven't dated spectacularly, but the Koolworld Productions remix is a fantastic take on the original, keeping the ravey elements and introducing harder, darker sounds. Certainly worth a check if you even slightly like the original. And is it just me, or does the original version appear to be sung by a goat?
