Yep, pretty cheesy title, i could have topped it by saying something 'Whispers?! Shout about it more like!' Or...
Actually no, no more puns, it'd end up sounding like an American TV news piece.
I've just seen this classic video over at DJ's Delight and can't stop watching it, any video that classisly starts with a group of blokes hiding behind newspapers to perv on a girl always gets my attention. They did miss a trick tho, why didn't they just cut eye-holes into the papers? The pervee never notices!
The track jogged my mindbox back to a more well known song by them called 'And the Beat Goes On' that i first heard on a Daft Punk Essential mix from 1997, hold on which came out first; that or 'Miami' by Will Smith?
That digression's by-the-by, I remember the essential mix was amazing, it was in a time when Sasha was doing 120 minute overlays in his mixes, Paul Van Dyke had all the Scallies munted in the main rooms etc. Daft Punk did this mix as if they just weren't bothered by the geeky technicalities that the Paul Oakenfold followers semed to be.
It played like a list of their favourite songs would, with just a crossfade from one to the next, some of them weren't even beat-matched - In your face conformity UUHHH!
It made such a refreshing change to hear that, compared to the dirge spread by the likes of "Dangerous" Dave Pearce.
