this one i discovered a few years ago come courtesy of a mate of mine named clovis bouhier. he's a dj extraordinare, producer & photographer and also a master of wearing the most ugliest shirts ever along with killer pilot shades and big luscious mou(lester)stache.
he hipped me onto this track and i had heard of guillaume and a few tracks of his and knew that he was quality. dumont had a knack at using old blues samples and i think he was better at it than the shower of producers that would jump on this thing the following years and are still doing it.
this one starts with a groove that kicks along nicely and then it introduces a reversed & affected vocal. that plays rather straight for the first half of the track where the groove stays four on the floor. in the second half of the track groove changes into a breakbeat and the vocal is chopped up. but the track just steps it up a notch with a trumpet and a whole different feeling.
it's like the track just wakes right fuck into life and the first time i heard this track i thought it was just like any house joint at the time. but then on the second or third listen i was in love with that second half and started to give the track more attention.
nowadays when i play this one out in sets i tend to mix it in from the second half as it's the stronger section and i tend to double up the track and loop and do some minor effect work. it's quite fun to fuck around with that section but i think the whole composition is a great tool for dj's. support this behemoth.
