this comes off the single for santos' "i'm not homesick" which has "gimme da mike" as a b-side. there was a few other remixes ordered up the for the single by lee coombes and genius cru but they appear elsewhere, besides i'll take thomas schumacher's elektrochemie lk remix over them any day. also featured on the track is rapper everest who also appeared on dino lenny's "i feel stereo" from the same time. there you could hear him redo melle mel's famous lines from the guestverse of chaka khan's "i feel for you".
santos' works this glitchy offbeat loop throughout the song and the effect is a bumpy rhythm and it's quite funky when a four on the floor is strapped on together with a bassline. for schumacher however it's a case of focusing on that off beat rhythm and working a broken beat rhythm according to the swing of that groove. it's also coupled together with shuffled percussion that on a glance just sounds frantic, but this why i feel in love with this version.
in most respects organized chaos, especially when locked down to the same tempo, is much more fun that just the occacional crazy section. it does have to be interesting throughout and schumacher sorts this out with fills and some changes but also a great bassline that squelches in all of the right moments. downright proper.
