      This and Voodoo Ray are the best from that era imo

    This is one of my all time house classics! I still get goose bumps when I hear that baseline and those chords drop. They created an electronica masterpiece!

    This one tune helped to shape and mould my view on house music. I Listen to this track as much as I can, it never gets old. Thank you.

    The fact that Kevin was inspired to make this track by the Paradise Garage blows my mind. Who woulda thunk that a guy known for putting Detroit on that map would have such a New York influence. Amazing!

    This was the turning point in nyc from freestyle in the clubs to the beginning of the house music takeover. Inner city and Groove is in the heart, really got the house groove moving in nyc. It was like oh shit. House music in nyc in the 90s. Wow what great times. Tunnel limelight Palladium Twilo Soundfactory. The best.

  • @HappyWolverine
    @HappyWolverine 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    This record was one of the very first vinyls I bought in my life.
    Massive track that was WAY ahead of it's time
    If this dropped today it absolutely would blow people's minds
    The high water mark for electronica, second to none

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Kevin Saunders genius just shows you how simple is sometimes better and I Love 💞💞💞💞💞 how he spoke about the Paradise Garage the DJ Larry Levan being the genius that he always will be.

  • @tamseelhaque
    @tamseelhaque 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    It was James Pennington that was the inspiration behind the track. He was the one that sampled the Let's Get Brutal chord and made the riff out of it. That sample became the Inner City sound.

    • @linndrumfan1959
      @linndrumfan1959 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm disappointed that Kevin failed to mention James Pennington and Art Forest. It would've only taken a second and I'm sure that they both would've appreciated it.

    I enjoy these tunes by Inner City because you could lose yourself in the moment at the discotheque until all hours of the night.

    wow the narcissistic nostalgia... attesting a successful artist is his capability to produce over and over again with artistic ambiguities.

    The limitations we had in life in the 80s is what is missing in our society now. New generations are spoilt now, they have to much technology now.
