Heard this in September 88 in Ibiza when I was 25. Crowd erupted when this came on. Crazy happy times. Nearly 61 now but still never tire of this tune. Pure Classic.
I was in a club some months back and the dance floor was not that busy. The DJ suddenly dropped a late 80’s / early 90’s set starting with this. That intro. The bass. The dancefloor was packed within minutes. This never gets old. First Class in every possible way 🎉
Late 80s and early 90s house music is one of the best and most innovative genres. It was completely fresh and original. Nothing like that was ever done before then. Kudos to all all producers who managed to make this sound as it was produced yesterday, while a Katy Perry song from a few years ago sounds like ancient history.
I totally disagree. although i grew up in the 90's and always listening early 90's dance music, i have to say that the best era of HOUSE music was 1999-2009. The 00's decade was THE decade of house music and not 90's even more NOT late 80's.
This mega dance hit has stood the test of time, released 1988 30 years ago it just lifts your mood instantly in to party mode, i bought this when was 18 and it still rocks after all this time, pure dance classic.
Music today is made by wannabees that think they understand production engineering. These guys understood music, consequently their music stands up today.
@@SaihtamEseiw no it wasn't. House had already become popular a couple of years before Inner City appeared on the scene. I'd say Big Fun was probably the song that brought Detroit techno to the UK though. It didn't sound the same as the house that had been charting in tthe couple of years previously.
I first heard this in Ibiza 88 and instantly knew this was ushering in a new sound for me it was the sound I had been waiting for and I want to thank all who collaborated in producing such joy, I was the first on the dancefloor and didn't care who was watching me ,I didn't need a dove / ecstasy I was gone 😀
I accidentally found a record with this track at one of the flea markets in Finland. And only upon arrival home, I fully realized how valuable this find is.
You mention Inner City and so many people think of Good Life. However, IMO this was their best track and such a great start to their musical journey. Me being 17 at the time this was released it was just the right time for me and started me on my rave journey..... and then on into the nineties, nuff said 😁......
Can't believe I finally found this song. Just knew what the beat sounded like but no idea of the artist name or name of the song. Was in my recommendations and I didn't even mean to click on it but did so by accident when scrolling. Damn, was I glad when the beat hit 😅
It is a thing!! I have nostalgia for the 1920s when I’m in a certain vibe .. I do remember it when it came out- The year was 1988 and there was this totally new sound fresh out of Detroit
I was 14 and this was why i work all the summer to buy me a 2nd hand synth ... still have it, and .. 40 more .... Thank you Inner City you ruined my bank account for life ;o)
Class leading. This tune inspired so many after it. Like Steve silk Hurley it has that Chicago house feel and was seminal. It still sounds so fresh today.
Inner city proper old skool house/ dance music 🎶 🔥🕺💃✨️👏 the best of dance music/ club classic. Memories, nostalgia ✨️. Late 80's and 90's was simply the best era of music in recent times.
I was at Alex Surf club last Friday afternoon and a younger DJ was doing a set outside near the beach and started mixing big fun and I was like no way! This song is timeless as it takes me back to the late 80’s and couldn’t believe he knew this song 👊😍
The Inner citySound is what got me into House Music and made becomoe a DJ at my early 15 yrs. My Spirit and Soul are so full of Joy with this beats and voice.
OMG!!! This song is so far ahead of its time it's crazy. If I didn't know the year I could swear it is 1992! A 90's song in 1988. That is what's called a trendsetter!!!
From the creative point of view, not much happened in the 90s (just think that even the Grunge style was born in the 80s with groups like Nirvana) ... especially if compared to the 80s, an incredible decade for creativity and variety of styles (the 90s were musically marked by dance and little else). To give some examples, all these songs were written between 1988 and 1989: Enya - Orinoco Flow (released in 1988) Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance (released in 1988) Soul II Soul - Back To Life (released in 1989) Black Box - Ride on Time (released as a single in 1989) Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam (released in 1989) Double Trouble feat. Rebel MC - Street Tuff (released in 1989) Snap! - The Power which (recorded in 1989 and released in 1990) Black Box - Everybody Everybody (recorded in 1989, released in 1990) Technotronic - Get Up (Before The Night Is Over) (recorderded in 1989, released on 8 January 1990) Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart (performed live in 1989, recorded in 1989, published in 1990) The sound seems to be from the 90s, because in the 90s they continued on this line but the creativity is all from the 80s.
@@MGrimandi Yes but this is not the music one would listen on the radio in 1988. You would probably hear pop rock. And this is not 1989 or 1990, this is 1988, it's really ahead of its time
@@MGrimandi Well explained. But trust me the 90s kids will still make it their songs, 'cause most of those songs were still played in the early 90s. Synths and drum machines were classic 80s. Roland TR909 etc.
Such a tune! I can still hear my brother singing this as he was going about the house 😀. It's obvious why. 🕺🏽🕺🏽I feel like busting a move to it right now. 😁
One of THE best dance tunes ever. Never sounds dated either. A classic. Had this on 12'' vinyl import from the USA, because of the bonus remixes we couldn't get in the UK. How music should be, a tune to remember 30 years on, not like the dirge that is being released nowdays... From there on, purchased ALL of their releases, on vinyl or CD. Another to look for by Inner City: Your Love (Serial Diva remix) and obviously: Good Life. Also, Paradise Remixed, the remix album to their debut album.

Lloret de Mar for me in 88 brother 55 now.💚🏴
😂😂😂😂❤❤@@steviekenny581
Es la primera canción conocida como tecnohouse que después dominaría los 90 en las pistas de baile en todo el mundo
I was 16 unloading 40 ft trailers by hand at Royal Mail parcels , when parcels were just thrown in. And not in cages , music saved me ....

Big Fun and Good Life are two of the best dance songs ever. Love Inner City.
Great in 88. & 24
This is hands down one of the best dance songs ever recorded! BIG FUN 🎶😍😍😍😍
That and good life ;D
I agree 👍💯
Real talk
♥️♥️💛♥️♥️
@Mark Robinson the one in my head and someday about to become a #1 😅🦏
54 and still gets me up ,what a song , as fresh as the day it came out
I'm 55 but 20 again when I hear this. I think it's aged well.
True 🎉
Wish I had
Yer same 54 and it feels like yesterday. 35 yrs went so fast 😢
Me to 55 and loving life 😂❤😂
We were there
and me im 56 in 2024
When this came on everybody danced. No posing, no attitude, no phones. Amazing bass line from Kevin and vocals to match from Paris. Ahead of its time.
Love this song 🙂
🙏 AMEN 🙏
Love brother. The dance music unites us for real.
And there were dancehalls.

yes, it was a real revolution, there was nothing before and after
Northern soul was as inspirational and influenced many funk hiphop and dance acts
THIS IS TECHNO
Still fills the dancefloor! A Real classic.
They played in our city last month, nothing short of superb
My God! I danced to this song so many times in the 90s! Such amazing moments! I was happy and I had no idea how much I was
I'm a 70years old, ohh, please don't take away my music.
@@CarlosAcosta-ro1gkHow wonderful! You were 34 when the song was released and imagining how big the fun was. Blessing and Joy to you.
Love your work ❤❤❤❤❤
Singer Paris Grey was still working at a Chicago store when this was a hit!
I’m 54 and dancing like crazy in my living room to this blast from the past 🎉💃🏻
im 64 dancing too on this music!!!!!
One of the best club classics ever...sounds even better now compared of today's shite
today's shite my brother..
So many great genres of music in the charts back then. And now the tripe they serve up these days...🙄
Yep!
Exactly!
Couldn’t agree more!
What a tune, a carefree time in my life.
❤
18 years old, walkman playing, Big Fun comes on and a smile appears on my face, my walk changes to a walk/bounce.
Aaaah, they were good times.
I get you same here ❤
They definitely were 😊
23 and single enjoying my early years...
How come you not listening to Ja rule and B2K 😅😅😅
Suddenly I'm 17 again still love this song sounds as good as it did in 88 😍❤️
Big fun - yeahhhhhhhhhhh ❤💃✔💃✔💃🕺💪🏽
this is still insanely good after all these years

Dis choose and( marshall jeferson)MOVE YOUR BODY r prob the best choones ever released ! 2 days music sucks
This was a sound completely different at the moment ... I remember when I heard it for the first time... nothing similar until the 90's
Of course father
Music today is made by wannabees that think they understand production engineering. These guys understood music, consequently their music stands up today.
people so innocent then and thats why
This was the song that brought house music to the U.K. 🖤 Detroit techno and house was always the best
No it wasn't

Find a person that didn't love this tune from that era. Was and is just a classic!!x
Mi tema preferido del 1988. Tenía 17 años, y lo bailaba a todas horas.
20 years old and having the time of my life dancing to tunes like this absolutely classic oh take me back 😢

What sort of music were people listening to in Ibiza in 1987? Just curious.
@@ajs41 mainly chart stuff , RUclips house electronic, and the sounds of Detroit coming along , k Sanderson etc, like most decades eclectic mix thx

@M Z End Times
Truly the best decade
I agree bring back the 80s
Another 60 years and they will,....
Oh YESSSS!!!!!!
let's go back quickly to that time!!!!
Was only 15 when this came out. It's still every bit as good as it was then. Great memories
Hold the memories x

My best years !!! I’m 55😊

This one is fo you Lucas we had soo much fun dancing to this best time of our lives . RIP I love you and miss you so much ❤😢 xxxx
This song was made to be danced to and boy did we. You can't beat all the dance music around late 80s,early 90s😍
I'm 26, which means I've not experienced the 90s, but this song makes me feel nostalgic for no reason anyway. It's amazing! I envy you guys.
This is '89 😊
@@debra1232 I didn't realize that, my bad, but point still stands haha
@4Tlccas Yeah I might be wrong but the song is cool regardless lol.
It is a thing!! I have nostalgia for the 1920s when I’m in a certain vibe ..
I do remember it when it came out- The year was 1988 and there was this totally new sound fresh out of Detroit
You missed out on a lot. Gen-Z, very late millennials don’t know anything.
This song brings back good memories of friend going out to party and no one sits down for this song. This was the "stuff".
Detroit delivers
First tech-house track in history
Exactly this, there is Detroit Techno s d shit ton of New York Garage House in there well. Brilliant. 😊❤
The first 12 seconds of this video is where it’s at. sums up perfectly one of the fondest memories most of us 90’s kids have of the rave scene
kids ? lol
@@djibooty878 I was 10 when this tune came out…think that makes me a kid lol
@@stevecoulter26651988 that's when it came out.
1988 not 90s.
Dancing all Night long.. it was brilllllant yes we had big fun .. mighty big fun 👍🏼
Who is listening to this great song in 2021? Peace on the world and let s have fun!
Siempre firme con inner city desde 1988, ARGENTINA presente!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
What a brilliant 👏 👌 tune. Such a positive band, it was at least 6 years ahead of it's time. Sounds like an early to mid 90's tune
@4Tlccas This tune would not be out of place in 1992. Most agree with this. It was ahead of it's time.
First time I heard this was in my Dad's Rover Vitesse, sounded amazing then & still sounds amazing now! Soo 80's yet still so fresh.
I was 14 and this was why i work all the summer to buy me a 2nd hand synth ... still have it, and .. 40 more .... Thank you Inner City you ruined my bank account for life ;o)
Big fun will come back and will never leave us. Earlier than everybody think. 😇😇❤❤
Who's Listen 2024
Love love this tune
Timeless track..... absolute quality.
Now that's what you call music ❤️
Bought it on Vinyl in 88 and Paris Grey......nothing more to say..Totally Sublime!

The 80s.....a great time 💗my heart laughs 🤗
Not even just a tune. Just sums up a whole time.
Hands down one of the greatest house Trax of all time. The Godfather himself... Kevin Sanderson
TECHNO
yeah but the Chicago house influence is big, Paris Grey worked in that style when she joined to this proyect. Sanderson wasnt a purist of techno
@@Peter1999Videos no he didn't.
It’s “Saunderson” 🤦🏻♂️
Detroit Techno

greatest opening 20 second intro ever
try the 12" bro
You win.
The first 12 seconds should,ve to be 30 seconds , each section should,ve to be repeated twice instead,
We may be talking about the same mix, but let me raise you the intro on the Magic Juan mix
That 8 second intro/hook is masterful.
Where is that time capsule to take me back..!
Excellent song I remember this came out on 1988
You can’t beat the tunes from this era 👍👍
Dance all night long 😊
