lol @ shit tune
dancefloor killer
and done quite well
I'm going to commit social suicide here and go on the record by saying I really dig this tune. I agree that it's fairly repetitve, but that's nothing that mixing out of the track early can fix somewhat. But regardless, even if it isn't the freshest sound, it's still damn catchy.
kotsy.
Its funny to see all the hype on this track the last few months.
Im from Detroit. The original sample of this is from a whitelabel/unreleased record by a local producer. Its been bootleged a good handful of times and such and you hear it all over Detroit.
Every year at the DEMF you will hear it a good 10 times.
When i first heard this version at some afterhours in Edmonton i was impressed that a "bootleg" version of the track got all the way out there, then i found out it was a commercial release on a large label and was quite amused.
Just alittle history on the track from a Detroiters perspective 
Personally, being from the Detroit and hearing one of the many versions over the years, i honestly do like it. Like 5am in a back room crap hole afterhours in burned down Downtown with like 100 people just jammin it can grab ya. I quess you need to have that connection to the city though.
The new remix that is in discussion now isnt that bad. Its a bit cheeky, but thats what it supposed to be. I dont think it supposed to be a revolutionary track by any means, its supposed to be a fun party record. Something you drop in a nasty late night set or something.
Just some thoughts

The original was cool the first few times I heard it, but after 3 or 4 times A DAY in Ibiza I got REALLy sick of it REALLY fast. I do like the Claude VonStroke remix but he should do a dub without the vocals. Or maybe just the "put your hands up" part.

i first heard this sample on a 12" with the same track title by Matthew Dear on Ghostly International records... its true that its been sampled to death but I think that this release like a lot of the others is workable in a set... especially in the midwest around me
the original is kind of repetitive for my likes but i think the dj delicious and til west remix is groovy! the original lost my interest after about 30-45 sec because its just the same melody/bass line over and over... but the remix is a bit more electro-ey and interesting imo... i did see dj 7up playing the song in akron and with a mic it can be improvised to fit any city the DJ might be in at the time, as with the case with pete tongs EM intro "put your hands up for ibiza, our lovely island"
i highly doubt this will be the last time you hear this sample or a variation of it
