U Found Out
"U Found Out" is a 1996 song by British girl duo The Handbaggers. It features a sample from Depeche Mode's 1981 song " Just Can't Get Enough", and peaked at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart and number eight on the UK Dance Singles Chart. A music video was also produced to promote the single. Critical reception British magazine ''Music Week'' rated the song three out of five, noting that the riff from Depeche Mode's Just Can't Get Enough is adapted for a handbag house track "which has been doing the business in the clubs." Editor James Hamilton wrote, "Shola & Selina chanted nagging romp with its hottest mixes punctuated by the Depeche Mode 'Just Can't Get Enough' riff while all have elements from The Jets' ' Crush on You'." On the re-release of the single in 1997, the magazine gave it four out of five, complimenting its "clever" use of the sample. They also stated that "thanks to heavy media support", it "should soar into the sales chart." Track listing * 12", UK (1995) :A1. "U ...

Eurodance
Euro-Dance (sometimes referred to as Euro-NRG, Euro-electronica or Euro) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the late 1980s in Europe. It combines many elements of hip hop, techno, Hi-NRG, house music, and Euro-Disco. This genre of music is heavily influenced by the use of rich vocals, sometimes with rapped verses. This, combined with cutting-edge synthesizers, strong bass rhythm and melodic hooks, establishes the core foundation of Euro-Dance music. History Background Euro-Dance music originated in the late 1980s in central Europe, especially in Germany, where rave parties were becoming popular. By 1987, a German party scene was started by Tauseef Alam, based on the well established Chicago house sound and Belgian new beat in Frankfurt. The following year saw acid house making a significant impact on popular consciousness in Germany and central Europe as it had in England. In 1989, German DJs Westbam and Dr. Motte established the Ufo Club, an illega ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
