Well done. Very nice guy, this mr. Felix. Really lovely to watch all documentaries and interviews with these great icons. As a local-radio dj it was very hard to keep track of all those releases back in the days. Especially since producers used multiple identities to publish their songs. Hearing these stories makes this amazing period in music more tangible.
I so love when he pointed out that this track is near impossible to come up with a crowd pleaser remix because the original is just so exceptional catchy and brilliant you just can’t top that easily at all
I just turned 50 in Sept 2021. This was one of my favorites tracks to play in my Set when I Started as a DJ at the College Radio in UMAINE, back in 1992.
Mr Felix if you read this and remember this, 1992 you came into my record shop, (More Than Music) on the Blackfriars Road, 2 streets down from Hooj Choons), you and Jeremy came into the shop and I think just had the 12” pressed you gave me a copy to play as you just had it cut and wanted to hear it, IT BLEW ME AWAY, the rest is history.!🎹🏠💥
@@muzikxpress it’s true. So every time I hear the track I remember this time and a few days/weeks later I had a tour of the Hooj Choons studio, was awesome
I remember the first time i listened to this record. My first thought was.. it has little dynamics.. it lacks high frequencies, perhaps it has some slight disharmony in the intonations,something that could be done better, i don't know what... But as I listened to it, I realized that the only thing I could express was: This record is actually perfect. It goes directly into my heart, exactly because it is so. Masterpiece..
This song will always have a special place in my heart. It takes me back to 1992 when I was 18, and I dedicate this epic track to my very first crush. The one who I could never have. Felix FOREVER !! God bless !!
Felix is from Chelmsford Essex ,and now lives in Los Angeles. Cool . I lived in Chelmsford for quite a while and also los Angeles. Well done Felix . Good on ya mate . Great stuff from an Essex boy.
Finally put a face to that name and looking good! Smashing track (Hooj) but I loved the Candy Girls harder remix that came out in 1995, absolute thumpin filth of a mix.
Thanx for this very interesting Interview! "Don't you want me" is one of my favourite songs in all genres. What I would know else is with which synths this song is produced? PS. I know now that the organ sound is from Roland JX-1.
@@muzikxpress I used to go in my local record shop back in the late 90's and if i saw a new Hooj Choons record, i wouldnt even listen to it i would just buy it! Thats how good they were to me at least!!! Thanks for all your great videos my friend!!!
Must be one of the best dance tracks of the '90s. Has to be up there with: - Moby - Go, - Prodigy - No Good (start the dance), - Bizarre In - Playing With Knives - Candi Staton - You Got The Love - Snap! - The Power there are others ! I thought that Rollo would get a mention, as he was part of the duo that did this remix being played.
Same here - together with the age of love from the same time my favorites until now. I have the deconstruction release. Will never sell :))))) Part of my life.
@James Bloggs: That's an interesting part of history right there! Definitely worth going to the effort to look for it. (That is ...if you actually have it)
Here the link to live version with the legendary Leigh Bowery dancing in the video + Dj Felix wearing Trade Tee-shirt (Trade was a huge underground iconic after party in London) ruclips.net/video/eVpZifQ423o/видео.html
Thanks for this. Believe it or not but I have never seen Felix actually being interviewed, what a nice guy - I'm very glad that this song not only was the very first techno-track I heard back then but it's my all-time favorite, of course. Cheers!
I would love to know more about the lyrics and the voice of the music. There's no reference of that. Who was the singer? Where and how she was discovered? What is she doing now? Did she ever played the song live? But I love this interviews where I discover more about the classic of my time.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the interview! And this was my first ever interview, so I didn't go as in-depth as I would do now hehe. The vocal is a sample from the Jomanda track "Don't You Want My Love". Not sure what she's doing now. I know Felix did the track live, but I think it was with a different singer. Jomanda was from the USA and Felix was living in the UK back then and since it was "just" a sample I don't think they ever did the track together.
I've always been fascinated if it was somehow a conscious decision to keep the voice lines one semitone lower.. it creates an unique dissonance from the base harmonies of the song itself, and actually that made it unique in a sense. So I just recreated it and wanted to hear it with jomanda singing it at the correct tune, and it kinda loses something then :)
Here I am, almost 20 years later after the release watching the face behind the music.... for the 1st time :D and I believe that I am not the only one. Because back then the best you could do was having your favourite songs on a MC tape. If you were lucky then on a CD. Looking up something on the internet? What internet? :D this track got released in 1992, Google got online about 1998 and it was far from what you know today :)
This shows how just using simple synthesiser, ROMpler like with factory presets (just like it was with M1, D50, DX7) and with good arrangement and production could produce fantastic results. And I agree for some tracks, they are so good, have so strong personality if you will, that every remix is ruining it, on the other hand remixes could be a good thing in other examples where they give new life to track or even make it better.
Felix, I just want to THANK YOU! REALLY! Although I am not a dance person THIS was a song that got me to dance! PLEASE make another song with the POWER of "Don't You Want Me"! Greetings from Greece!
Kinda bummed he didn't mention the vocalist. Despite limited lyrics, melody, repeating four words (Don't You Want Me) growing to just five for the lines of "Don't You Want My Love" and "Don't You Want My Lovin" plus no more audio time for the rest of the track, she (in my opinion) made the song for me. It's kinda like Circle Of Life from Lion King. Good song but elevated and made when the Swahili singer Lebo.. M kicks it off.
Saw them live at Galactica open rave event at Ripon Racecourse uk 9th Oct 1992 but was too messed up to even see on the stage (as you do..) nice to see the guy behind the massive tune after all this time lol
So he implies that he did not get all the money he deserved for the record sales... as usual (record companies screwing artists since the invention of phonograph)
He could have explained that the track was essentially created with the presets of an ultra-low-end Roland synth (Jx-1) , which makes the feat of achieving such a track even more incredible. ruclips.net/video/_29ZQBwMCn4/видео.html
Thank you! This was my very first ever interview for Muzikxpress, pretty nervous but Felix is such a great guy! Super nice! Still very happy I was able to make this happen! 🙌🏻
Great interview. I have a Hooj Choons copy of Felix. The track was heavily played on Kiss 100 back in the day. The DJ's on the station also played the track in the clubs they played at. I first heard Felix at Spice at Linford Film Studios which was a Kiss club on Friday night back in the early 90s.
I would like to hear him talk a little more about the music. How he came up with the idea and why he used "Evan" from Miami Vice to build this track ruclips.net/video/h3YIz84thzY/видео.html
Would of been great to know more about his production technique, and the vocal sample (Jomanda). Also, the original was ok. But the remix(Rollo) took it to the next level. No mention of Rollo, any reason? 😉 Did he pay much for the sample? Also we hear stories of younger producers getting fleased, did he make enough money to live off, and with current royalties?!! I know the singer Sam, she went onto do the vocals on Make me Crazy. 🙌
Well, this was my very first ever recorded for Muzikxpress (this month exactly 6 years ago!). These days I would go more in-depth and ask more questions for sure. Keep in mind not everybody likes to talk about samples, I know this one was cleared though (we spoke about it after the interview), but I could have asked about that during the interview indeed. Still not bad for a first interview I think, especially since I was pretty nervous ;-)
I would love for him to know that this track was the last track played at Gatecrasher Millennium. 25,000+ people there in the arena. I’ll never forget that. The place just changed when this came on. People had tears in their eyes, it was incredible. I well-up just thinking about it. Thank you, Felix. ❤❤
That song still sounds great now... all these years on, I loved this song when it was released, it was so different and the music really grabs you!! I was 19 years old.. Great interview and what a really nice guy also.
Indeed, don't touch it! I remember I bought his album with the original version of Don't You Want Me, didn't like that at all. Only the Hooj mix for me!
Thank you 👑👑👑 Felix and your talented heart for blessing the world with your talent. Don’t you want me and It Will make me Crazy represents wonderful times and memories from the amazing 90s. Can’t believe these Masterpiece were released 30 years ago. 😱😁
Thanks so much for doing that interview and obviously for Felix!!! Brings back so many happy memories of a good time in my life that song! Thanks for talking about it mr Felix and of course for you muzikxpress for the dope interview and sharing that with us!!!
When this piece was released in Italy in the autumn of 1992, and I heard it for the first time, I meditated that it had a sonority that seemed to come from the past, almost from the 60s, at the time of the Hammond organs, but at the same time, it sounded like something of completely innovative and powerful. Both on the radio and in the disco, this song was constantly in my head.
Absolutely, the Corsten interview is great too. Brilliant questions, only nitpick is the video quality but the audio is fine. I guess that's down to the lighting but there's not much you can while you're on holiday about that. Looking forward to more of these!
Thank you! And yes true, I'm still a beginner with recording / video editing, but hey, you have to start somewhere right? ;-) As long as people like the content I'm happy. But of course I wanna improve the quality as well. Think the lightning in the new interview (with Ben Liebrand) is a lot better already. Thanks for the feedback, good or bad, it all helps! Much appreciated!
It is a sample from a track from Jomanda. This was my very first ever interview for Muzikxpress, so it was all new to me and I was pretty nervous, so yes, nowadays I would have asked him some more questions 😉
I still have my Felix CD's from the 90's, the album "#0ne" is great, but "It Will Make Me Crazy" (Big Mix) is my favourite song the vocals are great, I think he has a thing for FISH, lol, and "Fast/Slow" from the album is great, I seen him at an Outdoor Rave "Revolution" near Glasgow in '93 I think.?!, I remember it was a total wash out.!!!, but Felix was there, and it was great. Nice to see Felix in this interview.
Is anyone else confused as to how young he looks, given that the song was out almost 30 years ago and this interview was actually made in recent years?? 😂
Thank you very much! And yeah, Felix is great! I was really nervous since this was my very first ever video interview for Muzikxpress. Still happy to see that after over 5 years of recording this one, it still gets views and comments. What a classic!
This track blew my mind when it came out, was definately my favourite. Those huge chords, thumping kick, filthy bass and great vocal hook. Tracks this good should not be remixed imo!!! Would like to hear more on the production process.
@@muzikxpress I did, I never thought to search for a Felix interview before yesterday and up you popped, enjoying the others also as I was growing up around the time and love this music. Not sure if its possible but maybe put Joey Beltram on your list, he has an interesting story about making a track bigger than energy flash, but there was a power loss and the track was lost, could not re-create it!
@@lardosian Thanks so much! Always happy to read when people enjoy my interviews :) And I don't have a travel budget for these vlogs, so I can only do interviews with people that live close to me (south of The Netherlands) or people that visit The Netherlands for shows etc. I would love to interview Joey Beltram, but he lives in the USA (New York I think) and he doesn't do a lot of shows anymore :( But hopefully one day, he's on my wish-list though ;-)
@@lardosian No I havent, but who knows somewhere in the future ;-) But for the next months I have enough new material lined up and interviews I still need to record and edit haha
I enjoyed this, I was dancing to this song when I was living in London at the time come I never knew was behind it. I was wondering if you were really with him during the interview because there was no picture or sound from you. Also I would’ve been interested to know why he moved to Los Angeles?
Thank you! And yes, this was my very first ever video interview. I was in L.A. for a week and I managed to arrange this interview just a few weeks before my vacation. I had not yet figured out how to edit video interviews, so this is the only interview without my voice hehe.... Here's the pic with Felix: instagram.com/p/BbBSmUAnH9A/
Loved that interview!! I done a remix of the track but after hearing what felix said about how protective people are of the original I don’t think I will unleash it lol😂
Haha they just released a new version / remix from Cedric Gervais the other day BTW! Plus there's a new track which features the sample (PBH & Jack and Alex Hosking - Lost In The Moment). EDIT: And thank you, glad you enjoyed the interview!!
Definately one of the tracks that started and retrospectively defined 90s Dancefoor or Dance or Euro Dance or whatever u call it 😅 On my top 10 list 🙌🏻❤
My favorite remix is definitely by the Candy Girls from the 95 release. And favorite Felix release would be 'It will make me crazy'. Another great vlog mate!
I've heard this in a small dutch club, and went out after the weekend to purchase the single! It is an excellent tune, nothing much like it at that time... ❤️ It remains a favorite, well done mate!
Well done. Very nice guy, this mr. Felix. Really lovely to watch all documentaries and interviews with these great icons. As a local-radio dj it was very hard to keep track of all those releases back in the days. Especially since producers used multiple identities to publish their songs.

Thanks Robert, more to come soon hopefully ;-)
5 years ago yeah
I so love when he pointed out that this track is near impossible to come up with a crowd pleaser remix because the original is just so exceptional catchy and brilliant you just can’t top that easily at all
One of the greatest tracks ever made, but Felix - It Will Make Me Crazy is his best work imo, one of the best tracks of the 90’s
Absolutely 100% I'm with you on that
Great track 💪
💯My favourite too
100%! I absolutely love "It Will Make Me Crazy" 🤘🏻👌🏻
I just turned 50 in Sept 2021. This was one of my favorites tracks to play in my Set when I Started as a DJ at the College Radio in UMAINE, back in 1992.

I was 14 .. and i feel you 😁❤
One of the greatest house tracks ever!
That’s for sure!!
Felix is from Chelmsford Essex ,and now lives in Los Angeles. Cool . I lived in Chelmsford for quite a while and also los Angeles. Well done Felix . Good on ya mate . Great stuff from an Essex boy.
It's a 90s masterpiece.

+1
That Candy Girls mix was amazing!!
Thanx for this very interesting Interview! "Don't you want me" is one of my favourite songs in all genres. What I would know else is with which synths this song is produced?
PS. I know now that the organ sound is from Roland JX-1.
Me always thought Felix was an german DJ ;). cause in germany its an common first name and in this time much electronic hits are made in germany.
lg
Hooj Choons ruled the 90's!!!!!
For sure, what an amazing label!!!
@@muzikxpress I used to go in my local record shop back in the late 90's and if i saw a new Hooj Choons record, i wouldnt even listen to it i would just buy it! Thats how good they were to me at least!!! Thanks for all your great videos my friend!!!
Yeah, quality stuff! I think I have 90% of their catalogue on vinyl/CD. And thanks Vincent, more videos to come soon!
Agreed. Back in the day where bedroom producers got paid in full...😉
Cool, one of my favorite tracks back then!
Must be one of the best dance tracks of the '90s.
Has to be up there with:
- Moby - Go,
- Prodigy - No Good (start the dance),
- Bizarre In - Playing With Knives
- Candi Staton - You Got The Love
- Snap! - The Power
there are others !
I thought that Rollo would get a mention, as he was part of the duo that did this remix being played.
My son's name is Felix. How on earth he got it? Ohh wait...
One of my first records that pushed me into dj'ing and making music. And this is the first time seeing the man Felix. Nice guy!
Oh wow, that is cool! And yes, he's super nice! Very down to earth and friendly guy. It was great to meet him! :)
Same here - together with the age of love from the same time my favorites until now. I have the deconstruction release. Will never sell :))))) Part of my life.
Felix must have been 6 when he made that song , by how old he looks niw 😅😅
Sounded like nothing else that was out there in 1992
i have that Pet Shop Boys Radio One takeover week he mentioned on tape somewhere :D
Wow, no way? If you find it, can you upload it to RUclips maybe? That would be cool!
Me too, Felix, Age of love, Urban shakedown, Sasha, Good 2 bad Hughly , was a great time for music
@James Bloggs: That's an interesting part of history right there! Definitely worth going to the effort to look for it. (That is ...if you actually have it)
I remember The Pet Shop Boys on radio 1 so well. I’m sure they took over Simon Bates slot in the morning which seemed bizarre
Here the link to live version with the legendary Leigh Bowery dancing in the video + Dj Felix wearing Trade Tee-shirt (Trade was a huge underground iconic after party in London)

Haha yes I’ve seen it, super cool!
Piti you didn’t asked about vocals
Thubs up if you can't help staring at Kraftwerk's pic on the wall
The man has good taste isn't it? ;-)
hahaha me too
@@muzikxpress Surely, he has!
Mars plastic remix ,,monster

Mars Plastic Remix. That is all.
Awesome! One of my favorites from the 90's
Great interview,. Twan. Back in the days (in 1992) it was one of my favourite tracks and it still is a hugh track. Thanx for this vlog.
Thanks Ronald!!
👍
Still my favorite track from the 90's.
I've always been fascinated if it was somehow a conscious decision to keep the voice lines one semitone lower.. it creates an unique dissonance from the base harmonies of the song itself, and actually that made it unique in a sense. So I just recreated it and wanted to hear it with jomanda singing it at the correct tune, and it kinda loses something then :)
Here I am, almost 20 years later after the release watching the face behind the music.... for the 1st time :D and I believe that I am not the only one.

Hope you enjoyed the interview!!
This shows how just using simple synthesiser, ROMpler like with factory presets (just like it was with M1, D50, DX7) and with good arrangement and production could produce fantastic results. And I agree for some tracks, they are so good, have so strong personality if you will, that every remix is ruining it, on the other hand remixes could be a good thing in other examples where they give new life to track or even make it better.
Felix, I just want to THANK YOU! REALLY!
Although I am not a dance person THIS was a song that got me to dance!
PLEASE make another song with the POWER of "Don't You Want Me"!
Greetings from Greece!
Kinda bummed he didn't mention the vocalist. Despite limited lyrics, melody, repeating four words (Don't You Want Me) growing to just five for the lines of "Don't You Want My Love" and "Don't You Want My Lovin" plus no more audio time for the rest of the track, she (in my opinion) made the song for me. It's kinda like Circle Of Life from Lion King. Good song but elevated and made when the Swahili singer Lebo.. M kicks it off.
Saw them live at Galactica open rave event at Ripon Racecourse uk 9th Oct 1992 but was too messed up to even see on the stage (as you do..) nice to see the guy behind the massive tune after all this time lol
So he implies that he did not get all the money he deserved for the record sales... as usual (record companies screwing artists since the invention of phonograph)
He could have explained that the track was essentially created with the presets of an ultra-low-end Roland synth (Jx-1) , which makes the feat of achieving such a track even more incredible.

This was the sound of the era!!! Thank you for making this interview happened….this was good history ❤. Yes it made us all so happy on the dance floor
Thank you! This was my very first ever interview for Muzikxpress, pretty nervous but Felix is such a great guy! Super nice! Still very happy I was able to make this happen! 🙌🏻
Seems like a nice guy, and looks so much younger than I'd have expected!
I have the vinyl
Sick!
No mention of the Jomanda sample??
Love this history. Surprised no one asked about the all-important Jomanda sample and why it was chosen.
Agreed!Jomanda were Amazing!one of the legendary and original femsle vocal trios…shame no mention of the girls
This is huge
Don't you want me
What time is love
Age of love
Those 3 are timeless
Great interview. I have a Hooj Choons copy of Felix.
The track was heavily played on Kiss 100 back in the day. The DJ's on the station also played the track in the clubs they played at. I first heard Felix at Spice at Linford Film Studios which was a Kiss club on Friday night back in the early 90s.
Aidan Brennan thank you Aidan! What a track right??
DUDE, YOUR CHANNEL RULES
Haha thank you very much! Hope you like the content, working on lots of new interviews, so there should be a lot more in the near future :)
Still think Felix was a girl... :P Btw, Candy Girls Remix is still the best!
I still have the cd 🙂
Felix, got myself a copy on white label, cheers mate ;)
I would like to hear him talk a little more about the music. How he came up with the idea and why he used "Evan" from Miami Vice to build this track ruclips.net/video/h3YIz84thzY/видео.html
Nice find, never knew this!
Would of been great to know more about his production technique, and the vocal sample (Jomanda).

Well, this was my very first ever recorded for Muzikxpress (this month exactly 6 years ago!). These days I would go more in-depth and ask more questions for sure. Keep in mind not everybody likes to talk about samples, I know this one was cleared though (we spoke about it after the interview), but I could have asked about that during the interview indeed. Still not bad for a first interview I think, especially since I was pretty nervous ;-)
Love that song!
Oh Don't You Want Me Is an Amazing Song By Felix It's My Favorite Song Too So We Kinda Have a Same Music Taste :)
I would love for him to know that this track was the last track played at Gatecrasher Millennium. 25,000+ people there in the arena.
I’ll never forget that. The place just changed when this came on. People had tears in their eyes, it was incredible.
I well-up just thinking about it.
Thank you, Felix. ❤❤
That song still sounds great now... all these years on, I loved this song when it was released, it was so different and the music really grabs you!! I was 19 years old.. Great interview and what a really nice guy also.
Thanks so much, my very first interview for my RUclips channel hehe..... and still the only video interview with Felix on RUclips!
I also liked the follow up singles coming later. It will make me crazy Stars especially 🙌🏻💙💚💛🧡💜
1992, Passion at Swansea uni, played by John Kelly. It blew the roof off!!!!!
Indeed, don't touch it! I remember I bought his album with the original version of Don't You Want Me, didn't like that at all. Only the Hooj mix for me!
Thank you 👑👑👑 Felix and your talented heart for blessing the world with your talent.
Don’t you want me and It Will make me Crazy represents wonderful times and memories from the amazing 90s.
Can’t believe these Masterpiece were released 30 years ago. 😱😁
You Should Have Asked Him If He's Still Got The Lion Suite He Did A Pa In Back In The Early 90'S
The Islington groove sound...
I love/loved this track. This and Cartouche's "Feel the Groove" really changed the music world.
My Name is Gladiator in a few weeks my interview with Serge Ramaekers about “Feel The Groove” by Cartouche will be online, hehe
One of best tracks ever 🎉
Thanks so much for doing that interview and obviously for Felix!!! Brings back so many happy memories of a good time in my life that song! Thanks for talking about it mr Felix and of course for you muzikxpress for the dope interview and sharing that with us!!!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! More to come soon ;-)
Good interview! Really nice you had a chance to do this. And of course, it was nice to hear how it was done.
Thank you very much! Hope to record at least 2 new interviews in the next 4 weeks btw ;-)
And I'll try to catch up the older vids before it!
When this piece was released in Italy in the autumn of 1992, and I heard it for the first time, I meditated that it had a sonority that seemed to come from the past, almost from the 60s, at the time of the Hammond organs, but at the same time, it sounded like something of completely innovative and powerful.
Both on the radio and in the disco, this song was constantly in my head.
I was born in 1973. The 90s ah yes, in this times i have a lots of fun. Don’t You Want Me from Felix is my favorite song :).
72 oh I wish we could go back x
me too
Unique track 🏆✨📰
Make remake on NX3 📀✨
I was in Ibiza 1992. The track was very big there.
Wow just found this. Absolutely loved this and it's brought back some fantastic memories. Well done!
Seriously great content man!
Thank you, I was surprised there was no interview with him online yet, so .... a good reason to interview Felix about this huge dance anthem :)
Absolutely, the Corsten interview is great too. Brilliant questions, only nitpick is the video quality but the audio is fine. I guess that's down to the lighting but there's not much you can while you're on holiday about that. Looking forward to more of these!

Thank you Felix for this amazing track ❤️, with whom I found house music! Still enjoying this timeless tune in 2020!
Who was the female singer, how did he meet her, did she have input in the song; that are queations i would've asked.
It is a sample from a track from Jomanda. This was my very first ever interview for Muzikxpress, so it was all new to me and I was pretty nervous, so yes, nowadays I would have asked him some more questions 😉
I still have my Felix CD's from the 90's, the album "#0ne" is great, but "It Will Make Me Crazy" (Big Mix) is my favourite song the vocals are great, I think he has a thing for FISH, lol, and "Fast/Slow" from the album is great, I seen him at an Outdoor Rave "Revolution" near Glasgow in '93 I think.?!, I remember it was a total wash out.!!!, but Felix was there, and it was great.
Nice to see Felix in this interview.
Thank you! Still very happy Felix said 'yes' when I did ask him for this interview!
Fantastic timeless tune!! Still enjoy it today!! Great to see Felix!! Thanks for the interview!!
Apreciate THE TOTAL SINCERITY👏👏👏
I loved the sound of the 90s and miss it like crazy.
Is anyone else confused as to how young he looks, given that the song was out almost 30 years ago and this interview was actually made in recent years?? 😂
Gee P he was 2 when he made the track 😜😉
muzikxpress He must have been! 😂
Still the greatest dance tune ever made.
Thanks for a fantastic video. And, sorry, I'm going to repeat lots of other comments by saying what a lovely guy Felix is.
Thank you very much! And yeah, Felix is great! I was really nervous since this was my very first ever video interview for Muzikxpress. Still happy to see that after over 5 years of recording this one, it still gets views and comments. What a classic!
This tune is just insane even in 2024. The sound will never die
Mars Plastic was the best remix absolute belter
People always use the term "staring into your soul"
But this guy epitomizes it.
Isn’t felix Rollo from Faithless?
Nope, Felix is Felix ;-) Rollo & Red Jerry were involved with the Hooj Remix of the track.
Absolutely loved this track. In fact, I still do. Great interview once again.
Thank you so much!
This track blew my mind when it came out, was definately my favourite. Those huge chords, thumping kick, filthy bass and great vocal hook. Tracks this good should not be remixed imo!!! Would like to hear more on the production process.
Hope you enjoyed it! (BTW this was my very first ever video interview hehe)
@@muzikxpress I did, I never thought to search for a Felix interview before yesterday and up you popped, enjoying the others also as I was growing up around the time and love this music. Not sure if its possible but maybe put Joey Beltram on your list, he has an interesting story about making a track bigger than energy flash, but there was a power loss and the track was lost, could not re-create it!
@@lardosian Thanks so much! Always happy to read when people enjoy my interviews :) And I don't have a travel budget for these vlogs, so I can only do interviews with people that live close to me (south of The Netherlands) or people that visit The Netherlands for shows etc. I would love to interview Joey Beltram, but he lives in the USA (New York I think) and he doesn't do a lot of shows anymore :(
But hopefully one day, he's on my wish-list though ;-)
@@muzikxpress Thought so yes, have you interviewed Legowelt, amazing producer.
@@lardosian No I havent, but who knows somewhere in the future ;-) But for the next months I have enough new material lined up and interviews I still need to record and edit haha
I enjoyed this, I was dancing to this song when I was living in London at the time come I never knew was behind it. I was wondering if you were really with him during the interview because there was no picture or sound from you. Also I would’ve been interested to know why he moved to Los Angeles?
Thank you! And yes, this was my very first ever video interview. I was in L.A. for a week and I managed to arrange this interview just a few weeks before my vacation. I had not yet figured out how to edit video interviews, so this is the only interview without my voice hehe....

@@muzikxpress Thanks for the answer yes that explains it
@@sinwithsebastian you’re welcome!
Loved that interview!! I done a remix of the track but after hearing what felix said about how protective people are of the original I don’t think I will unleash it lol😂
Haha they just released a new version / remix from Cedric Gervais the other day BTW! Plus there's a new track which features the sample (PBH & Jack and Alex Hosking - Lost In The Moment).
EDIT: And thank you, glad you enjoyed the interview!!
Definately one of the tracks that started and retrospectively defined 90s Dancefoor or Dance or Euro Dance or whatever u call it 😅 On my top 10 list 🙌🏻❤
I agree 100% with that, what a classic!
My favorite remix is definitely by the Candy Girls from the 95 release. And favorite Felix release would be 'It will make me crazy'. Another great vlog mate!
Thank you very much! And same, I love "It Will Make Me Crazy" as well, such a good track, bit underrated in my opinion.
Man this used to destroy the dancefloor back in the day
I've heard this in a small dutch club, and went out after the weekend to purchase the single! It is an excellent tune, nothing much like it at that time... ❤️ It remains a favorite, well done mate!
Still a massive track after 30 years! :)
@@muzikxpress it sure is! I mix it in regularly
Very, very cool track made by a really nice bloke
Candy girls one off the best remixes paul masterson off it
......one of the best dance tunes ever made....
A S oh yes for sure!!!
