Chicago legend Mike Dunn has been behind a number of house’s best loved underground anthems, but as he donned his MD X-Spress alias to speak the lyrics, “God made me funky, and I’m glad he blessed me that way…” he never could have anticipated the reaction the track would still get on dancefloors nearly three decades later. With the layering of garage beats, an addictive bassline and Mike’s distinctive Windy City spoken word vocal, Mike had produced something that was a little bit special. Now Defected release a new remix package for 2021, featuring remixes from Eats Everything, Harry Romero and The Vision, as well as the original, for a new generation of house heads to discover.
