Cj Bolland - Sugar Is Sweeter (Armands Drum & Bass Mix)

[u2bdetox]

How the hell did I go out every night, go to school full time and work? Now, I'm lucky if I'm awake past midnight!

[filmflipful]

@u2bdetox I think I love that comment... so true for me too

[JOHNNNYT06]

found it, it is Tori Amos - Professional Widow (Armand's Star Trunk Funk Mix)

[JOHNNNYT06]

Amazing tune! Anyone know what the tune is with the 'Sally B' phrase is, 'Scabby pig' as it once thought it was many years ag when my brother used to play this 'genre' of music all the tine.

[u2bdetox]

@JOHNNNYT06 She's saying, "gotta be big" but now I'm only going to think of Scabby pig. lol

[fvn3489]

Bad Ass tune to be kicking in an MG ZR (Y)

[barisakin]

top

[Milkmann1969]

classic!



[Salmeyda22]

ugghhh i love it. have an album w/the various house tracks and it never gets old...classic!

[restoleduquesne]

excellente version,j'adore.

[djmertz]

So much debate over the genre just goes to show how influential this track was for so many sub genres of house, garage and bass music. It's too slow to call it drum n bass, but like someone pointed out, that's what was on the label. All that aside, what we should be talking about is the fact that it was used in so many different kind of DJ sets when it came out, and it still could be used in so many ways today. It's perpetually ahead of it's time, no matter when it's dropped.

[DiLeoAlex]

COOL TRACK!

[felixdadeathcat]

It's the name of the mix I think!

[bluebob81]

This tune made me cut my hair and bin kurt kobain the fuck off.

[VoiceOfTheAbyss]

@bluebob81 maybe that's because you fault the capacity to listen... if you could, you might see the contradiction...

[albertovieira63]

really, this is not drum and bass. it's speed garage

[Deano81ification]

classicccccc

[TroyConvers5000]

So much energy it could run the National Grid for a month

[AfroBlaxion]

Ruff track!

[BENTHISOne]

this son makes my eyes roll to the back of my head-LUV IT

[MentalCinemaRecords]

Well done

[raisefist]

nice one:)

[nicelass00]

UK Garage in its best!! missing London big time!

[SpaceOldskool]

@nicelass00 No. UK Garage? No.

1996 was a very special year. Out went piano, in came AVH's tasty little bass-line treats.

AVH = American. This aint Speed Garage. Its House with a certain edge.

[NepTune19774]

@SpaceOldskool actually, there were 2 different versions of speed garage that came out simultaneously. american & uk. the american speed garage was very short lived unfortunately. but this would be considered american speed garage. along with the spin spin sugar & prfessional widow AVH remixes. but then if you were truly "old school" you would know this already..

[sidbrown210]

Van Helden .... still the best....

[gloriousdarren]

What a tune :)

[timpa666]

fucking hoe this aint dnb little fake ass mofo

[guidostl]

Sugar Daddy set me free.

[TheEugeep]

DJ EZ smashes this regular coz he is the boss on the wheels off steel.....;)

[thefunkeyplanet]

Quite Simply… a top tune from 1997 I think. Love this to bits. I heard a 'Saxophone Version' of this from the 'Luv Dup brothers' as well. Where can I find that version on mp3?

[clll76]

OMG!!! Bring back the good old days......

Imperial gardens, colloseum, SW1 etc

Thanx for the memories.....

[ayrshiresoundman]

Jackmaster/Joy Orbison Played this record at Stereo last Friday, think I was one of only a handfull of people that knew it!

From the days of Van Heldons $50K remixes!

[TheVampireNetwork]

[sandramarcos97]

Una de speed garage pa' la mesa cinco...

[depthcharge123]

This track was the soundtrack to the times I used go to those under 18 disco's. It brings back memories of drinking vodka in the park, groping girls on the dance floor and running away from chavs... fun times.

[funkysexy69]

Whateva happened to the 90's???...whateva happened to Van Helden??...he was the BOLLOCKS!!!

[funkysexy69]

Sugar Daddy, set me freeeee!!.....Drum n Bass!!...AWESOME!!!

[cctv786]

[ldelacruz22]

[bigga76]

This song takes me back to partying back in London. Twice as Nice at the Colisseum in Vauxhall. A bottle of champs in my hand and bubbling a gyal in the corner of the club. Ahh the good ole days.

[Londongirl8]

@bigga76 - You know! Twice as Nice at the Colisseum was the lick!!!

[Londongirl8]

@bigga76 - You know! Twice as Nice at the Colisseum was the lick!!! This reminds me of The End in Holborn too.

[MsMedford]

THIS IS MY STRIPPER SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jahmariposa]

im saying, bilal1001! i kinda feel like some of this new "fidget house" style is heavily inspired by the speed garage vibes of the old days. :) which im cool with.

[420GEMI]

Reminds me of the Palladium in NYC in the early 90's oh the good days

"Give me Ecstasy where is my balloon...." 

[420GEMI]

3:08 and on epic

[JoseAriel1408]

I remember "Prince" Naseem Hamed using this version of the song as his walk-in song when he fought Tom Johnson years back. That being said, I always liked Armand's version of this song.

[VinceTmh]

CH-OO-OOH-NN

[rgsarnie]

I am there @ ther epping forrest country club right now !!!!!! back in the 90's disco boccy's and water in hand................ XD

[jimthewreck]

[turlus0072]

i remember moving to P.R. in 96 and this was bumpin. this was so bumpin, that when i left in 99 it was still in the clubs.

[Parrock1]

One of the best nightclub tunes ever. With the right sound system, this just blows you away - burn the floor!!

[Pablito2006ya]

Esta cancion la escuche hace 16 años por primera vez en un lugar llamado DADY'O en Cancun Mexico, siempre ha sido una de mis favoritas, me trae recuerdos inolvidables.......Gracias romfordj!!!!!!!!

[SystemFailure2009]

[lucadj1]

Fantastico che bei ricordi! Quando l'House era l' House!

[PatocarlosTechno]

exelente recuerdo de fin de siglo cuando los chicos techno hibamos a la SCRATCH de viña del mar

[BlackBabyDoll804]

OMG! I remember the DJ playing this song for like 20 minutes straight! And there are barely any words. I could NEVER get enough of it. SUGAR DADDY O SUGAR DADDY O SUGAR DADDY O

[UKGHead]

DRUM AND BASS? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[orkanthas]

@UKGHead yup. either armand or the label called it that, though drum n' bass was an established genre.

[UKGHead]

@orkanthas it's an old ukg track ... Was never established as DnB. This youtube poster obviously just doesn't have a clue.

[Underpressure11]

@UKGHead

well in a way you are right.. u just forget that this is a major tune of the 90's techno scene

[sylhetisoulja]

@UKGHead it was officially labelled AVH's DnB Mix. The poster has got a clue.

This was from 1996 before UKG was classed as a genre.

[MarcFreeborne1978]

Think ripgroove used it better, bit more intense!

[chaii1708]

fucking love this song , blast from the past

[MrCLSLS]

armand show re-invented house music in those times, respect

[scotttewis]

This is a ruffer press than mine. I like!

[burntletter]

i think he was taking it for granted that its a garage mix dnb is a good way to describe it.

[jeremysupercool123]

Yes This A Cool Number Man

:D

sugar is sweeter

[mikeytee17]

Its old skool uk garage..

[sebeasy]

Classic track.

[soptamer]

this is NOT D&B!!!

[paddymph]

@soptamer

thats how it was labled by AVH on the 12" back in the day

[phaytecollydes]

@soptamer Thank god!

[taguritnow]

Banger!!!

[oomz1975]

This tune thumps!

[gmck23sam]

the original is great. don't think anybody I ever knew understood this pretty pointless mix tho - and why the fuck did armand van helden label this a "drum n' bass" mix...has about as much to do with d+b as the tune to coronation street...yep, pointless - strictly for the mildest of "clubbers" or whatever they liked to call themselves back then. keep it underground.

[neverbeen2]

house &garage more than d&b

[crazyjonhere]

what a tune this tune should be released the breakdown bit at 2.00 is to die for just love to here this on a big system again its a stomper

[Jimm7675]

OMG..this was such a sick ass beat! This track was so tight! I was such a whore on the floor and the stage boxes to this track. On the real..ah the late 90s. Good memories..

[pcorry1978]

Class!

[bluemorpheus]

classic and timeless! armands mixes are mostly perfect, never heard such sounds from anyone else. the bullshit sunshine-house of todays compilations are nothing to this!

[LTACS]

timeless funk

[supersonicpsyche]

this song was played at Firestone in Orlando around 1994, usually Friday nights after 11:00pm. Can't remember who the DJ was....

[karlspurs]

vote for local mp..the one who never lied...or cheated you as an individual

[xavistation]

WOOOOOW

[regisx32]

Is This On Vinyl?

[ReliableProductions]

@regisx32 Duh..

[FlowersInHisHair]

This is a damn cool remix, but the original CJ Bolland track is so close to the Prodigy's "Poison" I'm surprised they never sued!

[joshualeepalmer]

Sounds like his Sneaker Pimps remix and his Tori Amos remix.. His dark garage mixes are the f'in best!!

[joshualeepalmer]

Another classic.. !!

[2shutG]

Escape with Radio 2019:-)

[bilal1001]

The Bass, Samples, Vocals make me horny........ What a Fucking good club record this was and still issssssssssssssssss

[bilal1001]

Almost the same as Tori Amos, Black widow!!!!!!!!

[pklepacs]

Do you mean Professional Widow??? :)

[77torello]

it's only armand van helden

[bilal1001]

Why don't they make music like this anymore. Fuck me, Fuck the world. But I Love this MOTHERFUCKER...........

[elpilot80]

calm down

[vdub4utube]

@bilal1001 He still makes great songs even nowadays! He is the best!!

"I want your soul" for example. :)

[Kilpanda]

There's music like this again :-) Check my channel

[cheekyleopard]

@bilal1001

Agree man. Totally awesome time for this type of music from around 95-99

[seansalvador1]

This is ripgroove by Double 99 haha

[Bingokongen]

Actually, Double 99 used the drumsample from this tune on Ripgroove.

Ripgroove was nice, but this rocks harder any day.

[kalindrak]

oldddd skool! this takes me BACK.

[cousiwa09]

such a fucken good tune! Thanks for the upload!

[ReliableProductions]

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

[trancemix99]

The transition at the 2:02 to 3:07 marks where the loop fades out and comes back with the Sugar Daddy set me free hook starts is absolutely ridiculous.

[trancemix99]

That was intended to be a compliment.

[TheVicV]

Classic!

[tinypuppies3]

love it

[spinspinsugar1980]

Awesome tune

[Megaadmax666]

Ehm....are you serious? Ok I hate house, but I dont find any relation between the original and this one...just some lyrics.Expected a nice mix, but this one is like the ...mozart's remix? of the cool one XD

[archimech1138]

JUMPIN AND PUMPIN STILL.....Love the old skool....

Great post! Best mix of the song for sure....

[deciblez]

Who has the new version? it sounds electric house break like?

[notsodeadlydave]

You're thinking of the Twocker remix.. I just checked it out while trying to find this.. I dont like it as much.... anyway I found a download link pretty easy on, i think, rapidshare.

[Hallenmitte]

One of the best house tunes for years!

Absolutely wicked!

Lovin' Lovin' Lovin' this awesome song!

[DJFLu100]

This is the shit!!! I'm a big Armand Van Helden fan since the first time I heard Witch Doktor!!! If anyone is looking for any of Armand's remixes hit me up as I have lots of them!!!

[AntonioJose1135]

[Grahamintehpond]

This is terrible. Has lost everything that made the original great. generic shit

[sicilianotoronto]

[grimegarage09isplop]

[murraybrodie444]

[RoadWarriorHawk]

Yep. He beat up Tom Johnson to this song. Ive been looking for this song for 10 years.

[Nrgised]

How many times was this called Sneaker pimps - sugar daddy on album track lists lol

[v12kid]

HAHA..yeah..similar to the Armand remix of Spin Spin Sugar by the Sneaker Pimps..I admit..i used to get the remixes confused!

[siouxsiebowman]

haha @ DnB remix ! sounds nothing like it. Wikked Classic though. I remember this track on my Ministry of Sound compilation The Annual Vol 2 going back to 1996. It was professional widow mixed in with Sugar is Sweeter....those two mixed together sounded wikked.

[oscar516]

yay - i got that cd somewhere, an awesome mix :)

[TK1Studio]

one of my first vinyl i've mixed !

terrible remix !

[hallmariliz]

he is talking about the main elements of the remix drum and bass - criples .

[djantix1200]

Love this track but am laughing at the DnB label... not even close..lol

[mednos]

speed garage back in the 90s

[renerica85]

How the hell is this a "drum & bass" mix?

[v12kid]

I agree. This is more of a house mix with some DnB sprinkles

[pklepacs]

Dude, this song is about 15 years old. Back than the DnB as you know it today did not existed. Thanks God for that...:)

[Underpressure11]

@pklepacs

of course it existed lol

whatever this is a """""" called mix, you guys shouldn't take the name so seriously.

still a legendary tune back to the days

[slimsuspect]

sing-a-long ladies crew!

SUUUUGARRRR DAAAAADDYYYY SET ME FREEEEE...

[digitalpunk006]

This is Armand Van Helden's remix, but it's definitaly NOT D&B.

[derrob108]

i am having such a hard time finding that album. I have to get that again.

[derrob108]

i caught this track on Platinum on Black Volume 3. The album is a must have and this song kicks ass!!!

[djhives]

[yayosoto]

[djhives]

[allen1918]

armandsの最もよいダンスはリミックスする!

[majixherb]

[jbeats2008]
