Dave Clarke – Wisdom To The Wise
A dynamite track subtitled ‘Wisdom to the Wise’. What kind of sorcery was this? The name ‘Wisdom to the Wise’ came from a lyric to an old house track, Dave explains. “I thought, ‘That’s such a cool saying, y’know? No matter how clever you are, you can always do with a little bit of extra wisdom — so it’s kind of funky.”
Laurent Garinier – The Man With The Red Face
As Laurent later wrote in Electrochoc, Phillippe felt uneasy and couldn’t let the music control him. “We did it for about 20 minutes, the poor guy just couldn’t breathe, he was bright red, with a sweaty face, the mouthpiece seemed to be stuck between his lips, while we continued: ‘This is fucking shit, go harder, go harder’… and this is why the track goes nuts.” And this why it got this name. In 2000, it was released as a single and became one of the most famous tracks by the French maestro.
Green Velvet – Destination Unknown
Green Velvet, initially created by house don Cajmere (AKA Curtis Alan Jones) as an outlet for his non-vocal productions and frequent DJing gigs, grew to become even more popular than the man himself, thanks to club single Destination Unknown who had nurtured the Chicago house renaissance and techno wave!
