Love reading people's recollections from the early days of house under videos like this. The simplicity and sheer joy of this record and the subsequent response on the dancefloor is a thing of great beauty indeed!
Whoa... Im living in Florida but originally from Philly and I remember walking into my first house party at University of Penn and this came in on and that's it... TOTAL INSANITY... Those were the days... If only I could bring them back... smh....
@nuttens I was 19 at the time, 42 now but still a house head. A young fresh faced boy from Philly walks into Robots at 4am and this is pumping. I will never forget that night. Black, brown, white, green, straight, gay all jumping in this tiny little club to this track. I miss those NYC days.
This is definitely a classic. The 90's was the decade for fresh ass house music. Today, theres just no originality. Mainstream took over House and this pop shit just ruined what was once true underground. We now call everything electronica and House no longer has the soul it once had. BRING BACK TRUE UNDERGROUND CULTURE. We need it
@machoboricua74 absolutly!!i could not have said that better myself bro...its the soul and originality thats missing in todays music period,its all remakes and track stealing samples,i just feel blessed to have been part of and witness a time when music,especially house,had true soul and meaning and thats why songs like this are so timeless,sounds as fresh and as original as the day it was released.
Hey! estimulo,thanx soo much for posting this one,it was a real big tune in the underground club scene in baltimore back in the day,the people and the djs new just what to do with this reptitious instrumental..do you remember that tune called "hip hop"?..would love to hear that one again,dont know who put it out
@cromag89 Hip Hop is actually a Masters at Work collaboration track that was released under the name "That Kid Chris" in its first pressing, and then was re-released under the main producer's real name, Chris Cuevas. The track is really short--about 3 minutes. So the DC and Bmore DJ's would buy two or three copies and loop it. The other trick was stagger the track--meaning play one disc 1 second behind the other--the kids would go NUTS when we did that baby! (Hip Hop is one of favorites!) xo
@WILLIAMCHANEL YO!!!!!!!!!!!thanks for that info hadn't herd that tune in decades,thats crazy!!! well i got it now and im sooo happy,thanx for that..and since you seem to know bmore and dc,which were my stomping grounds for the underground back then,how about that tune that goes," we gotta wake up,yes we do we gotta wake up"?..its more on the deep side of house,think u mite no it? it had that loui vega,ride on the rythem sound with the piano riffs in it.
@cromag89 Glad I could help! Now that other track you're askin about, that sampled loop you describe seems so familiar to me, and I know I've heard that track, but because I never bought the vinyl back in the day, I just can't tell you who made that record or what it's titled. The DC producers who come to mind who were making that TYPE of record (deep piano house tracks) back in that period were DJ Spen, Sam Burns, Deep Dish, Alcatraz (aka, the House of Aviance), Edward "Get Down" Crosbly...
@cromag89 And BIG UP'S to the dub version of "Ride on the Rhythm" by Little Loui Vega!!! That, and the track "Tonight" by Those Guys are probably my two favorite tracks of ALL TIME. I've certainly played them in my own home more than any other two tracks (and maybe also DHS's "House of God." Let me know if you find the track you're hunting. When I need to know the name/producer of a track, I always go to the "Track ID" forum on Discogs (a DJ website). Someone will ALWAYS recognize it for me
Philadelphia-at least about 5 years after this song's first release, I heard this at The Nile

Once again thank you Joseph. The bulk of your back catalog will keep your name relevant well into the next century.
