groove armada - my friend (dorfmeister vs. madrid de los austrias dub)

the original version was quite a big hit and i like it and it's video but i really liked the way they used the sample of fatback band's "got to learn how to dance". especially when they dissolve it for the break when they go into some moog action and celetia martin doing a couple of bars of chaka khan.

this remix however i discovered much later than that and i believe it was through really liking dorfmeister & mdla's remix of "relaxin' at club fusion" by koop. this version uses the bassline from fatback band but ups the tempo and breaks it up a little. it's still four on the floor but it has all of the swinging rhythms and grooves from broken beat and funk. which makes it really useful when transitioning from broken beat into house or vice versa.
