That’s right, the weekend maybe over but don’t chuck those glo-sticks away just yet – the week doesn’t start until you clock in, and by my watch that’s enough time to listen to this CHOON (as the kids say)
JX brings you pretty much everything you need in your classic 90’s dance track: big female vocal – check, heavy bass and electric drum beat – check, random repetitive phrase to work its way into your head – check and an even more random accompanying pop video, incorporating close up shots of lips and eyes – check.

Originally released in 1994 it reached number 13 on the chart and a year later was remixed to the radio edit we all know and love and peaked at number 6. As a remixer he reached the dizzy chart heights with mixes for Erasure, Smash Hits poster favourites Deuce and quirky number and letter named dance group 2wo Third3 (see what they did there) – which, tedious link fact fans, included Richard ‘Biff’ Stannard who co-wrote last week’s Something New choice, ‘The Sea’.
One listen to this and you’ll understand why clubbing became such a huge trend in the early to mid 90s. The normal piano led hook of the ‘90s dance music’ genre replaced here by a buzzing chord synth makes it instantly infectious and one of the classics of its day.
Available on numerous 90s dance compilations including Ministry of Sound: Pump Up The Jam / www.rexthedog.net
