as usual this was found in a cratedig and i was happy to found the cdsingle as i knew the song and loved it. it was this song that lead me into looking at thelma houston's catalogue as it samples "here i am". i had heard the full intention mix when i was younger and that as the it was the version pushing the single commercially. the single included it and the original mix and a remix by olav basoski.
i knew how basoski worked his tracks and you figure that someone like him would do what fontana did but push it further, but he didn't. it's still a filtered loop workout but he didn't use the grooves at hand in the traditional way. i'm still not sure if he actually works a loop from either two originals and usually i would drop some science about where the groove is actually from but i have no clue.
what i do know is that it's incredibly funky and that's a safe bet when it comes to basoski. it's sound of dj sneak & glenn underground processed through bangalter and carl cox. it's very much dj music and "if a part of your body isn't moving, something is wrong with you"-music. it does seem crude as the tempo and relentless four on the floor sets the tone but there is subtleties in the music.
someone explained to me once that in music that is repetitive you always have that other side that changes throughout the track but it's not really paid attention to. in this case it's the filterwork or the sound being processed spread throughout the track. i don't know if that actually made sense but this track is awesome nonetheless
