20, actually.
I still think Hardfloor's mix is the definitive version of this track. This one is a decent acid house track with the Yeke Yeke vocals over it, no more. |

10 years old or 100 years old, if its the right party, the right time, there is no reason not to play it. Richie Hawtin dropped it in a set or two pretty recently.
As long as your record crate has a lot of new stuff in it, nothing wrong with mixing a classic in here or there |

| I think this track has been a bit over-played recently. Yes there's nothing wrong with dropping an old classic in but this is Hawtin's classic. Other DJs should find their own signature oldie to drop. Yeke Yeke is one of the biggest classics in dance music and yet a whole swathe of tech-house jocks have only just discovered it. |

here is how i see it. up til a couple of months ago, you would only hear this version with oldschoolers and even then, the proper ones who like early 80's acidhouse. most people born after 1980 would say, hardfloor mix is the definite one. during it's coarse of history, this has destroyed floors left and right and is still cained by most djs. this version has been called cheese and a 'by the numbers 1995 house track' by elitists and oldschoolers.
reason being is, it has exactly every cliché that was flooding track. big room sounds? check, ethnic vocals/sample (+tribal percussion)? acidline? check, big breakdown with snare roll with a humongous climax? check. you can argue that half of this is hardfloors influence, rest is the then club climate.
it still had support by most people since they grew up on this version, they know the bassline coming in and hearing that percussion fill and then the track kicking in hard.
but something happened, richie hawtin brings up martyn young's 1988 afro acid mix in one of his sets and starts caning this version again. all of a sudden, it becomes more cool to like this over hardfloor's version, it's new & exotic but it's not really.
that being said, hardfloor mix rules all, but the actual original is really fun. paul woolfoords edit which is based on the original does the trick aswell. |
