    Default Get Down Tonight, 1992 Funky house

    Anyone remember a funky house track from 1992 that samples Kc & sunshine Band - Get down tonight?
    It had a funky organ bassline, pretty sure it isnt Ben Dover - Get Down Tonight, but i only have one mix of that (think there was only one mix anyway)
    Sorry no clip, moved house and can't find the tape
    Thanks

    not that this will be any help but i do remember the tune. Justin Robertson used to play it out all the time. It kind of was a cut up with bits of scratching in it as well. i heard him play it at sign of the times and kinky disco so must have been early 92

    Anyway a mate of mine from back then had a copy on 12" and stuck it on a tape for me. the only thing i can recall was it was a bootleg label. I dont think i have the tape either anymore. If you could find sets/tapes of Justin robertson from that time maybe you could get a listening copy.

    I think you may be refering to the ben dover track soupastar
    as that has scratching,and other effects thrown in...
    i found a sample of the exact track i'm after on youtube, where some has put some animation to it (taito being the character)
    So can anyone please tell me the title of this track?
    Heres a link hones:
    YouTube - Taito - get down tonight

    U want Bamboo-Bamboogie (Get Down Tonight) which is alot later than 92 but is the track in the clip
    U know why it's a brilliant manipulation of negative space

    yeah that is bamboo "bamboogie" that was on Virgin or VC recordings. I actually think its Dave Lee/joey negro but i could be wrong about that

    If you're not sure, it might be the track you originally mentioned -Ben Dover on Star Trax Vol 2 - DJ Dan used to rock it on one of his San Francisco Project mixes and I've got a copy in my collection... A pic of the label and the full track is here - YouTube - Ben Dover - Get Down Tonight

    Thanks djwilcox, but track was correctly id'ed as bamboogie, i have the ben dover track in my collection , i was originally unsure if it was a mix i was unware of , but there is only one version.
    Still hard to believe that 'bamboogie' was from 1998, apart from one synth sound towards the end it sounds like it came from 1992, oh well i did post this id from memory (without the tape it came from)!
