I can't believe it's been 20 years since The Avalanches released that strange video I caught on MTV. The kind of music was very distant from what I was into at the time, but I caught myself constantly playing it on repeat, and at some point, I even tried to mimic the dance from the original video. In retrospect, this must have been my first exposure to old school soul samples and sounds.

Our friend Funkmammoth revived the track and I know what I'll be listening to all day today. Joe shares on his Soundcloud,

This started as a sampling exercise / an attempt to see if I could recreate one of my favorite tracks of all time. Things came together better than I anticipated so I figured I'd flesh it out a bit more with some new samples. Not supposed to be an exact recreation and it's too close to the original to be a proper remix, but I'm proud of it so here ya go
