This song is the daddy of all Speed Garage/Bassline tracks!

Great tracks, but watch out. I've had my copy since new and there are pressing faults (lots of little bumps) on side B which cause loud pops and skips. Side A plays fine - which is prob the side your after. But it's a shame as side B is great too. May not be all copies.

Instantly recognizable bassline, this was one of the biggest tracks in its day and still kills when that drop goes!

happy to be deep is clearly borrowing heavily from another house record (italian) from (1993) https://www.discogs.com/Workin-Happily-Better-Things/release/193311 which was one of the first anthems in what would soon become the UK Garage Housey 4/4 style dominating from 95 through to 98 and beyond

When I left London to move up north - Speed Garage was completely dominating the place and this was the biggest of them all followed by 'Gunman' and 'It's A London Thing' amongst others - even now (20 years (!) later) it sort of defines the whole scene.

Rare vocal mix of "up with you" makes this well worth getting

is this version the same as the original vocal mix?

Along with 187 Lockdown's "Gun Man", one of the seminal Speed Garage anthems. Tim Deluxe and Omar Adimora took drums from Kenny "Dope" Gonzales (listen to The Underground Mix of "I Get Lifted"), a synth sample from Armand Van Helden's CJ Bolland Remix, and the classic Tina Moore vocal loop, and added a warpy rough bassline that would set the scene for many, many imitations.

Even after all this time, people still haven't realised this track is called RIP Groove...
