.. sounding nothing like the original .. and stealing the rhythm from Mtume "Juicy Fruit" .. this a good burner for a hot summer ..

Have to say......Didn't care for it too much. I liked that recent remix of 'I want yourlove'. Can't remember who did it.

Sorry, Ash, I can't give a thumbs up to it either. I mean, if it wasn't Good Times, but some other song, it's alright. But, for me, messing around with a classic like Good Times, especially the bass riff, which IS the song, is sacrilege! :) For me, it just sounds like another song which samples Good Times.

.. it's because this mix sounds so very different that I like it so much ..
:icon_smile:
.. the bass-riff in "Good Times" (excellent though it is) has been sampled to death .. it's nice to hear the vocals completely out of context on this hot summer groove ..
..

.. it has a very similar feel to Kool & the Gang "Summer Madness" / Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince "Summertime" .. perfect dance music for a long hot lazy summer ..
