hipp-e - dazed 'n' confused

heard this originally back in '06 and i remember that from that ep (psycho-delics trip two, nrk 104) it wasn't really the track i liked the most from the beginning. it was actually jimi polar's redub of 'make me rock', however this cut intrigued me a lot. it was that heavy shuffled percussion initially but the main attraction is the sample of tata vega's 'get it up for love'. same sample that armand van helden lifted for his version daft punk's 'da funk'. vega's track is a quality electric disco stomper and it features these nice synthy bits like at the tail end of the track.

hipp-e's track like armand van helden revolves around the that synth groove at 4:20 (no marijuana reference this time) and unlike armand who uses a slower filtering method, hipp-e slips into his inner frenchman and works it nicely. it's also a challenge and quite fun to mix since all the drops give you a good tool to work with other track. but it's also bomb on it own.
