Hi,
can anyone ID an old (early 90s?) house/garage track, prob US, with a honking sax riff and tough drums. As I remember it, the drums sounded like they could be M.A.W. or Todd Terry, and the rhythm of the sax riff was something like this:

1 2 3 4
X X X x x

1 2 3 4
X X X x x

Then the third bar is in triplets:

1
Xxx
2
Xxx
3 4
X x x

Then back to the first pattern:

1 2 3 4
X X X x x

(I don't know how that's going to come out but worth a try!)

I've definitely heard Gilles Peterson play it at some point but it's possible the same sample has been used on a few different tracks.

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help - I've no idea who else to ask!

cheers
Mark
