As a Dj @ Hard Rock Cafe i got my hands on this track about 3 weeks before ppl heard it on the radio. When i played it then, ppl wasn't really dancing or got hyped about it. But i was hyped AF! Dancing like crazy in my dj both. 3 weeks later when the track was playing on the NRJ radio, i played it again on my dj gigg. Ppl went MENTAL! Jesus! I think i played that track about 4-5 times every friday - saturday for several weeks. Ppl couldnt get enough of it! I still love the track! Cheers Fedde! Well done 🙌 hope one of my tracks could be a hit some day as well. Keep it up!🤟
My wishes : Deep Dish - say hello Paul Van Dyk - nothing but you Armin Van Buuren - Who is watching Andain - beutiful things Dj mag thank U so mutch this projects !
Actually Fedde Le Grand, for me in the, uk, his other tracks were bangers as well: The Creeps (with Camille Jones) and Let me Think About it (with Ida Corr). Love to hear them now still.
this groove is just happily infectious.. cant help but bob your head & tap your feet.. always loved mixing this with let me think about it, at first i didnt know fedde was behind it too, the tag was just the ida coor (digital copy) it wasnt until a bit later that i saw that fedde was involved. made sense as to why it was soooo good! i wish i could find the Cherry Coke Remix i used to play, id buy it all over again, but i do have the original mix in my house set (both songs).. would love an updated version one of these days
I spotted once some program on MTV where Fedde LeGrand was his favourite videos, I was surprised that 90% of them were my cult tracks. It's a great feeling.
It’s interesting hearing about this track from the guy who created it. But for me this record marked the end of the Funky/ Disco House era which had prevailed since the late 90’s. It marked the start of the electro era which of course developed into the Tech House we see today.
@@opensourceecon Funky house is a genre of house music which is heavily inspired by disco. Many funky house tracks are built around samples of funk/disco/ soul records from the 70's and 80's. Typical BPM range is 125-128, usually tracks had some kind of vocal and and the instrumentation was generally quite rich and multi layered. Often acoustic instruments were used such as string sections, guitars and horns. The genre began life in the late 90's but definitely hit the peak of mainstream popularity from 2004-2006. Some famous records from what era which define the genre are: Junior Jack - Stupidisco, Aaron Smith - Dancin, Stardust - Music Sounds Better, Mgee - Bodyswerve, Gadjo feat Alexandra Prince - So Many Times, Shapeshifters - Lola’s theme. Put Your Hands up For Detroit is often classified as a genre called electro house. This genre started in the early 2006's and hit the peak of it's popularity between 2006-2008. The genre is characterised by it's use of electronic sounds, typical bpm is probably about the same as funky house. Often the production was a lot sparser and vocals were less common. But for me it felt like there was a very dramatic change in about October 2006 when 'put your hands up' came out. Funky certainly didn't disappear immediately but all of a sudden electro house was everywhere. Some famous electro house tracks from that era are obviously 'Put your hands up', Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah (D Ramirez Mix), Haji & Emanuel - Take Me Away.
the electro era really started around 05. 09 is when it REALLY took off tho with SO MANY BANGERS! i always start my house set with french/disco house, then to a bit of electro & then into the 09 stuff. i did do it on purpose to match the timeline, it just happened naturally as that it sounds so natural
I first heard this at a rooftop house party in Brixton where the DJ loved it so much that he played it at least five times. We were all off chops so we loved it too! The cops got called because of the noise and were prowling the alleyway below but they couldn’t work out how to get upstairs to shut the party down 🤣
I remember 1st hearing the track dropped in 2006 at a club event. The resident opening DJ threw on this track and the place really seemed to vibe off it. I never forgot about it after that. He's right about it not being radio friendly, though I would hear it on live FM rush hour mixes a year later. What was hilarious was them saying it was brand new when in fact it was being played in clubs for probably well over a year before that lol. That's when I really learned why it was essential to go to club nights as that is where you'd hear everything first and probably still do.
I flew to Sydney from Brisbane for a gig and I had a few hours to kill before we went to the venue. I hit up som record stores and heard this track and bought it straight away. Played it a few hours later and it went off
Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet Tour” indeed, to promote the Hard Candy album! Madonna was born in Bay City Michigan very close to Detroit, so Detroit is basically her home town! Which makes the connection even more fun
Las Vegas, I think it was at Body English. Those were strong years, a build up for what was about to occur. I have been down for almost eleven years. At this time we are making a shift back to raw release. We have had enough. Here we go, let us go Fredde... Respectfully, Scott
I was at CR2 when they signed this.. I don't they realised how big this would be. They were into it but actual impact I do think so- printing up promo CDs and mail vinyls. Everyone did really well out of that. Big figures. Completely the opposite to nowadays, no track can breathe too many dicks trying to be superstars releasing half baked shit every two weeks. Fact
Fair play to him for not wanting to work for Will iam, that was the start of this music starting to sell out and go down hill. Look now they've abandoned it again because raps back.
This track really hasn't stood the test of time. In hindsight the novelty vocal was all it had to offer. 15 years later it just sounds like cheesy throwaway pop dance, hardly a dance classic.

I was 5 years old, I watch the videoclip on TV, and I like this track immediately
I heard this on TV on channel called VIVA for like 15 years ago...
This track was the reason why I visited my first ever festival and the first time ever to go by myself in a club (FLG was playing that night)
Just moved to detroit and I play this song almost every day I drive into downtown. Good vibes!

Actually Fedde Le Grand, for me in the, uk, his other tracks were bangers as well: The Creeps (with Camille Jones) and Let me Think About it (with Ida Corr). Love to hear them now still.
I met Fedde on the streets of NYC during a late night. Super chill dude! Even took a pic with me and my buddy and it was like 3 AM lol
What a great story! “Our lovely city” 😍🤯 15 years later and I had no idea. It makes sense tho…..cause it’s all about that Detroit Love! 🖤 ❤️🖤
Still an amazing song ❤ Big fan since 2001 when my girlfriend and I heard it. Still together 😍

That loop at the end is dreadful 😄 great story 🙌 this song was definitely in the thick of the MoS era!

I am new to this. What are the characteristics and timelines of these subgenres please?

Even Carl Cox love it!
Amazing ❤

This track such an absolute bomb. Everyone loses their shit when this drops, even today!
No mention of Granty the MC who did the vocal 😢
Taking me back to MTV but also my brothers back in the days
Hes so gorgeous!
Anthem! Time to do one with Hardsoul's Back Together ... Seeing how popular this track still is.
This was the biggest record before that whole edm wave
Amazing track of my favorites 😃👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
I was in multiple clubs but it was a banger always. Its still a banger now lol
That acapella is from Will. I. Am?? 😮
Wow
Can we get this for Kernkraft 400?
I flew to Sydney from Brisbane for a gig and I had a few hours to kill before we went to the venue. I hit up som record stores and heard this track and bought it straight away. Played it a few hours later and it went off
The fact that Madonna used this in her Superbowl set!
I broke this track in Tampa FL, so many great memories 🥰
First time I heard this song was on Bad Boy Bill's behind the decks live.
Still looking 💯 🔥🔥 please come back to Florida 🥲
Ios, Greece, 2006,good times
It really was a rad video
Great track
Classics 🙂🙌
Nice 💯💯
4:48 it's funny how the producer of the track has only 3 seconds appearance on the official music video 😅
BTW that track never get old 🔥💯
A producer with integrity, really love that.
Was it the Hard Candy tour Madonna used this for Music?
Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet Tour” indeed, to promote the Hard Candy album! Madonna was born in Bay City Michigan very close to Detroit, so Detroit is basically her home town! Which makes the connection even more fun
Yes
🔥
Our lovely city? I thought he said I love this city.
this guy doesnt age
🥰🥰😍😘😘
The first time i heard it was on a video," Bad Boy Bill - Behind the Deck" and the city was LA not Detroit.
Any label owner who said: "it's not for us" should go through psycheatric evaluation.
Remembe The time you come to Viieet nam 2013 in sai gon
♥♥♥
enable subtitles please.
I love Brazil
All this time I thought his name was Freddie
bota legenda
and now make . mason excedeer perfect
Ik weet dat ik er uit gezet worden binnen kort
Who that friend is ?
When Madonna did it live 🎉🎉🎉
I preferred more 'let me think about it'
I do not understand why he does not admit he made the track fully based on Fix - Flash from 1992.
I just looked it up and a.) you’re right and b.) wow what a tune I’m an old house head and I’d never heard it. THANK YOU for the referral!
because he clearly didn't?
Probably because if he did there would be a copyright lawsuit heading his way.
Another lawsuit than the Mathew Dear one he mentioned? :D @@Protectaline
Las Vegas, I think it was at Body English. Those were strong years, a build up for what was about to occur. I have been down for almost eleven years. At this time we are making a shift back to raw release. We have had enough. Here we go, let us go Fredde... Respectfully, Scott
Sounds different now.. after You listen to real music IT hits different
I was at CR2 when they signed this.. I don't they realised how big this would be. They were into it but actual impact I do think so- printing up promo CDs and mail vinyls. Everyone did really well out of that. Big figures.
Completely the opposite to nowadays, no track can breathe too many dicks trying to be superstars releasing half baked shit every two weeks.
Fact
I always got this mixed up with David Guetta - the egg 🥚
Fair play to him for not wanting to work for Will iam, that was the start of this music starting to sell out and go down hill. Look now they've abandoned it again because raps back.
wrong
Ooof idk what was worse for the scene, electro or tech house, electro went mainstream turned into EDM which is truly an abomination. Brutal
Respect to sticking to your guns with WILL I AM.
These weirdos come from USA and think they can just do and take anything
"I stole Matthew Dear's track"
simple
By the way Detroit is a stty city 😂
This track really hasn't stood the test of time. In hindsight the novelty vocal was all it had to offer. 15 years later it just sounds like cheesy throwaway pop dance, hardly a dance classic.
It sounded like that the moment it came out
Put your hands up for JON DALY ……….all Arabs will understand this
Detroiters hated this track because it had nothing to do with Detroit..
I'm hatin on Will. He's kinda annoying.
made for TV dance music. The godfather haha
