Techno cover of an old disco record. Specifically this recording of the live version, with vocals by Marlin Wilson-Threatt.

Had the privilege of seeing Hood somewhere, around the start of the century. Not sure where. Orbit, maybe, who knows.

Played this. One of the most memorable experiences of my life. Turned the club upside down. Incredible.

"I Want Your Love" is a song by American band Chic from their second studio album #CestChic (1978). Featuring a solo lead vocal by #AlfaAnderson, the song became a very successful follow-up to their hit single "#LeFreak". According to #KathySledge, the song was originally slated to be recorded by #SisterSledge; their background vocals were kept on the final track. Sister Sledge ended up recording "#HesTheGreatestDancer", which was supposed to be recorded by Chic.

"Gettin' Jiggy wit It" is a song by #American #rapper and actor #WillSmith, released as the third single from his debut solo album, #BigWillieStyle (1997). The verse is based around a #sample of "#HesTheGreatestDancer" by #SisterSledge, and the chorus is sampled from "Sang and Dance" by #theBarKays. Released in early 1998, the song was Smith's second hit produced by #PokeAndTone and #LES, who replaced his long-time partner #JazzyJeff.
