months had rolled by when i discovered "sugar" on soundcloud but for many of these reworks, it's a matter of if you liked the original or if they've twisted it up enough for it be an own entity. with this one it's a case of taking huge chunks from from janet jackson's "if" and working and refitting them with a new groove. in this case it's a great song being regrooved into something equally awesome.
i would have to say that it owes a lot to the brothers in rhythm house mix from the original set of mixes and that's a version that i love. seaman and anderson was doing pianohouse at the time which sounded like a cross between american garage and italian house but in a distinctive british style. my favourite moment of their remix is the break where they loop janet's "dum da da dum dum" adlibs over the fierce bassline and snappy beats. while moon boots really didn't copy that part, the instrumental sections in the middle with the vibes like piano is almost as brilliant.
with moon boots help basically, i have a version for the song no matter if i'm playing at 100/110/120 bpm and as a dj you enjoy that.
