View Full Version : Name that tune - help a fellow oldskooler out

Rightio - I've recently dug out an old mixtape from circa 1991 or 1992 (from a time when RTR FM over here in Perth played dance music other than drum n bass).

There is a track in the mix which has these vocals in it:

"I'll try to make it as brief as possible" with a whole lot of high synth stabs and a fairly repetitive keyboard riff behind it. Repetitive it may be, however I want this track now!

It also uses the sample "get down.. get down.. get down to the funky beat" for the bit before the breakdown.

The tune is not "Brief as possible" by New Foundations (because I've had that for ages already), nor is it "Get down to the funky beat" by Al Faris (as that was released circa 1998 ).

The only track that is similarly named that fits the time is one by Megabass "Get down".

Unfortunately I don't have a sound sample at present to put up here (working on that), but if the above description is any help then please let me know.

Any clues on style?

First thing that springs to mind for me for the 'brief as possible' sample is

Scozzese DJ - Try To Make You Dance, which was 1992/3 Italian pre-happy hard breakbeat

I've got a sample somewhere here ... somewhere here...

Hahaha... my local. :thumb:

Did Perth ever play dance music other than drum n bass? ;)

Shoot me a line if you need a hand with this. I don't have a tape deck, however I do have absolutely everything else.

Can only describe it as 'house'.

Most likely european in origin, however I wouldn't completely rule it out as a UK houser.

If you can dig up a sample that'd be great.

Whirlpool Productions - Gimme (Logic Records (UK))

It's 1993 but who knows how long it existed as a white label but it sure is synth stab central!

Whoops - I've copied and pasted too quickly. :tripping:

trouble is it could be just the sample mixed in - but i heard it while trawling and remembered this post.

Hope it's the one.
