Antonio: You Got Me (Back 2 Front 1997)

Strip away some of the percussion out of the mix and New Horizons’ remix of Antonio’s “Hyperfunk” is pretty much a boompty or swing house anthem awaiting discovery. I hear a dozen tracks like this a month (though with significantly less energy) and it’s remarkable to unearth the very different, much darker original lurking on the B-Side of Antonio’s smash “You Got Me” from 1997. “Hyperfunk” was later dredged up by Locked On and released on its own in late 1998. This one was a massive hit for Antonio, the Bumpy Club Dub of “You Got Me” still generates serious heat (though the stock gunshot sounds always sounded out of place).
