Well, it was sort of proto-tribal, I suppose.

I name this genre Proto-Tribal!

But that’s exactly why you can give the genre a name.

Angie Brown and her, ahem “larger than life personality” used to be quite a regular on the 1990s gay club circuit – indeed, maybe she still is – and I’ve seen her do PAs on numerous occasions. Her stock in trade was to pad out the instrumental sections of the extended mixes – and particularly “I’m Gonna Get You” – with random vocal quotes from other club hits of the day (“The girls, and boys, are dancing on the floor…”), rather in the manner of the celebrated ILM thread “Y’all ready for this.”

The Todd Terry remix of “I’m Gonna Get You” which appears on the UK 12″ was widely credited as the starting point for a particular sub-genre of dance music, as popularised by London gay DJs such as Malcolm Duffy. I couldn’t give the genre a name, as it didn’t have one.

Consuming the levels of alcohol needed to achieve this “style” is not medically recommended however.

NB the Radio 1 covers alBUM suggests that the Ewing Brothers method has been highly influential on many of our nation’s major pop stars.

If you are no good at or hate karaoke, this song is perfect. Instead of singing use the Ewing brothers style.

A spoken word
“I’m going to GET YOU baby,
I’m going to get you YES I AM”

This can be repeated, with slightly different cadences and levels of threat until your audience
a) pisses themselves laughing
b) runs away in real, actual genuine fear.

I had no idea that Raise Me was sampled in Searching For My Rizla!

I was a little disappointed with this track at the time as I’d loved and preferred the faster, ravier ‘Such A Feeling’ and ‘Playing With Knives’ but it won me over in the end. ‘Took My Love’ is good too (as is ‘Raise Me’ on the ‘Energique’ album). According to Discogs, Mark Archer of Altern 8 was an early member.

It was unexpected when they resurfaced a few years later with a more funk/soul sound – total change of style and pace, less thrilling but still quite poppy. Even odder is that two of the trio became Chicken Lips via a stint as Big Beat purveyors in the late 90s. I don’t suppose they ever topped ‘I’m Gonna Get You’ in a certain respect tho.
