Chart Peak: 7
YouTube
Still on a ragga tip - and indeed a following-up-a-big-hit-from-1994 tip - we get this Top 10 success from the men who brought you 'I Like To Move It'. Whilst this single wasn't officially billed as Reel 2 Real Presents The Mad Stuntman, it is indeed him, as he says during one of the verses. Rather in the mould of their first hit, it's an upbeat ragga-tinged house track. Depth and social importance are certainly not on the agenda, but it's a more effective bit of entertainment than a lot of the dance music I've been checking out here, and a worthy successor to the debut - it's their only one I can really remember after that first one. However, Mad Stuntman's claim that "Jazz music make the girls them dance" is not one I've been able to substantiate so far.
I have a vague, not fully researched idea that Erick Morillo is now the sort of serious DJ who might not want to be best known for this sort of thing. Tough.
