dream - he loves u not (meeker & mc supplier 2 step garage mix)

i am quite of a popwhore and used to listen to mtv a lot in my day and during the turn of the century, you'd hear this type of pop and r&b that had off-kilter rhythms. it came from the us but sounded more like the uk as it had very those combinations of double rhythms that you heard in uk bass music.

"he loves u not" was a song that i loved and my heart lept with joy when i found a cdsingle of it with remixes. it had the official hiphop mix with g-dep adding a verse, and three dance mixes by ingroove, hq2 and meeker & mc supplier. i was most pleased of the latter as neither ingroove or hex hector & mac quayle did remixes that stay releveant in these ears.

meeker & mc suppliers refit the original onto a 2-step rhythm and does a version that outdoes the original. the key moment is when it builds up and after the first play of the hook you hear this drop and then a mighty fierce bass. it's that warped bass and the driving beat that is nothing short of a lethal combination. mc suppliers verse is not really good but he does his role of hyping the girls and it works sort of with the rest of the track.
