This one features in the Manchester 90s mix above.
Its probably my most played record of 2020 as Id not heard of it until last year, I was playing Q-Tee / Afrika (Love And Laughter Mix) and wondered who Love And Laughter were which lead me to this track:

American dude here. Can someone give me a couple sentences of context for this scene? I’ve seen references in passing while reading various books and magazines but the music seems pretty far-ranging and diverse to me. What tied it together? Was it a regional thing? A reaction to four-to-the-floor dance music? A lot of this stuff never saw the light of day over here. The biggest exception obviously being Soul II soul. If you didn’t have a strong doubles game for the intro to “Back 2 Life” you weren’t top choice selector in nyc. The Rose Royce cover got a lot of burn in cooler clubs in the city but never grew beyond that. A lot of the stuff in this thread that we thought of more as trip-hop grabbed a toe hold but was sort of derided as being a lite alternative to hip hop and then the remainder of what’s in this thread is foreign to me (pun intended).
hey @Doctorbrowncelray - this is probably as good an explainer as you’ll find online:

Excerpts on YouTube from this tape. Nice to hear how the music was actually being presented.

Funny i like the vocal side better, the dub is alright but not much going on.
I’ve got a severe aversion to the original song to be honest, so maybe it’s just me!
