“I never forget the first time I heard this record.
Back in 1994 when Danny Tenaglia
was playing in Glasgow for the first time.
He was playing Harry & Oscar’s Sunday Night
at the Voodoo Room.
Every DJ in the town was there
and this is the one
they were all talking about the week after.
This was New York house but not as we knew it.
Glasgow was always big on heavy records.
So when Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vasquez
started taking that New York sound
and wrapping it up with acid noises
and razor sharp synths.
Glasgow was all over it.
And the minute the voice* comes out of this record,
“the end of the earth is upon us”
everyone on the dance floor was like,
what the fuck is this?
And the beats and the groove
and the analog that followed,
the whole place went absolutely crazy.
I remember trying to track it down the next week.
It wasn’t out yet.
And when the promo finally arrived in my door.
I was like, “Oh yes, I cannot wait to play this”.
But the the trouble with that vocal i
s because it’s so iconic, it became overplayed.
So I only got to play it a few times.
I dug it out again recently to see
whether it would still work.
And boy does it still work.
This is the Underground Sound of Lisbon (ft. Ithaka)
with “So Get Up”,
Danny Tenaglia’s “In The Light We Sleep Mix”
on Tribal 1994. Check it out."
So get up, forget the past
Go outside and have a blast
