This track was created around the intro of a classic soul-boogie tune from the 80's by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdGNeC2G1AU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Jocelyn Brown</a> that LuiGi sampled a while ago, after finding the 12'' hit-single ' Somebody else's guy ' on a local flea market near his place for a bargain price. It's rather rare (for MonkeyRobot) to start composing a tune from vocal chops; it is actually more common to add vocal bits when the track is almost layered. In this case (even we knew the original track for a long time) the deep and soulful intro from Brown instantly gave us inspiration. LuiGi previously recorded some chords and a melodic structure that we just had to bring back to another key scale, in order to match the vocal chops. The edgy drum pattern and bassline were layered on the same day.
It is our pleasure we finally can share this track, that for an unexplainable reason was put on a dusty shelf for a long period. Most people pretend beats aren't getting better with age like red wine…well, in this case 'Hooked up' still sounds fresh to us.
Enjoy.
