The Hardfloor remix is definitely not original. It's very much a paint-by-numbers Hardfloor remix and born of its era, but Hardfloor can get away with it because they made that cliché. They are acid pioneers and that ethereal acid sound was their trademark. It just works so well on Yeke Yeke, alongside their Blue Monday remix, Acperience and the other classics they put out in the early 90s. |

speaking of Mory Kante. I recommend Mory Kante - Mogo Djolo (The Ambush remix). A nice remix by Oliver Lieb made during 1994 (the same era as his Illumination - Hope remix).
There is a vocal and nonvocal remix (for those who prefers instrumental).

A few years ago when I studied in Aberdeen this became me and my friends theme. We had this on non stop for a whole week during our exam week :D |

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.

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. |
you're taking this too seriously I think |

For those who don't like the full vocals, there's Hardfloor dub. ;) |

Who in real life thinks they are cool because they play the Afro Mix while someone else plays the Hardfloor. Maybe at a DJ's only after party at 5am....MAYBE. We're talking about an infintely tiny slice of all of the music that exists in our lives |
