Released in 91 but didn't really blow up in the states until the spring / summer of 92, this track was the catalyst for me finding the warehouse-rave scene. 30+ years later and this track still goes hard!
When i first heard this as a kid i was blown away and still. This track has so much punch and body, still kicks massive speakers around the world. 90's for life!
Me too. Harder than all the 2 Unlimted stuff we had, I only later learned this production (LA Style) was also Dutch, and I feel so stupid not recognizing the voice of the guy (popular radio dj back then) Wessel van Diepen who was behind Nakatomi, Alice Deejay and the Vengaboys. That I learned before him being the producer of this track. But the time this track got out, got to nr 1 in our charts, helped popularize (for then) more uptempo housemusic. I respect the origins, but I don't really like the clubhouse from late 80s', but to me, hardcore/gabber is the period defining my youth (early 90s' till end 90s) And this surely helped with that.
I'm 45yo, born in 1978, and i still love this timeless oldskool techno track. It was the definition of techno music back in time. The problem is that this song was before my generation. Most people who hear this, are in their 50s, and they were 20 years old kids in 1991, while my generation was for the 2000's house/club music, so i should move on with the music to fit my generation, and i shouldn't listen this one.
Yes you should this song is what started the who era. I'm was born in same year, and I'm making a film with showing the rise of the fall of this era, the fashion, party crews, battling, house parties, all ages clubs, Richard Humpty House Nation, I know a lot would appreciate this movie and everyone is obsessed with 80s and 90s right now.
HP Baxxter the Frontman of the German Techno-Group wants to this song to be played on his funeral. No kidding! You can hear it in the interview at 41:27 ruclips.net/video/qpQDd7IaXto/видео.html&ab_channel=Dokusundso
Tears in my eyes of my lost youth what a paradise it was in the late 80 ies, begin 90’ies, technotronic 2 unlimted dfx leila k , new beat , bonzai records, ….
What is meant by the phrase "James Brown IS DEAD!" is not that the person, but his style of music, the rock music, is dead because techno has arrived, and techno had indeed spelled rock music's end, at least in Europe from that point onward.
Imagine the crowd in the club yelling "James Brown is Dead" as they are dancing to the song while strobe lights and spotlights are flashing excessively.
@@kutzeeuw every big franchise like Amnesia space privilege cream is based in ibiza bora bora is a small beach club and café del mar is a5 stori building with a beautiful sun set... The shop is bigger than the café!
When this came out we didn't have the internet to check if James Brown actually died, we went and found an old person to ask if he was still alive......
So cool. This takes me back to when I was 15. It was one of the hottest tracks of the time. I love that the description on this video depicts the story behind the song and includes the HOLY NOISE release of James Brown Is Still Alive in the same year. Epic.
James Brown Is Dead" is a song by Dutch electronic dance music duo L.A. Style, produced by Wessel van Diepen and Denzil Slemming.i did not know this till couple months ago and i am dutch🤣 but i was 12 years old when it came out.loved it and still do
This was the first hypnotizing track in the 90´s for me. Still giving the goosebumbs. Next "experience" was The Prodigy, Saw once in Helsinki 1993. La Style - sadly never :(
New years Eve 91/92 dropped 3 New Yorkers with my m8. I have Prodigy "Your Love" on my Walkman and he's got this on his. We walked about for 3 hours, both of us rewinding and replaying the same two tracks. Grand memory.
God how I remember this time in history! I am now 45, but remember this "True Techno" was all the craze & I have a Love of Electronic Music since many 80's bands like Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Depeche Mode, Technotronic, etc....
De jovencito finalizando el colegio oia esta musica, aun la tarareaba y no tenia ni idea de quien era el autor... ahora he encontrado el video y no puedo parar de verlo!!!!! me vuelvo loco!!!!!!!!!!!.
Ρυθμός από μια άλλη εποχή... όλα διαφορετικά τοτε... διασκέδαση, μουσική, νεολαία με ενδιαφέροντα και αληθινή επαφή... από τα μουσικά κομμάτια που πραγματικά μας ξεσήκωναν εμάς τους παλαιότερους... τεράστια επιτυχία Τίμος Κατερίνη!!
💕💚💙🤸♀️👣🔊🎧 weeeeeeehaaaaa💋 that's the Sound of my very first techno clubbing ...👧🏼 soooo happy by hearing&feeling just every single beat under my skin now 😋.. love this!... let's get connected ....safe the memories & very best emotions .... at next Rave&Tech Classics ... 🏃♀️😃
Congrats! I was a 17 yr old skater that dressed cholo with my GF renting an L.A. apt. when I heard this. Put techno on the map. I never heard anything like it. It was like hearing Sabbath in '70 or Slayer in '81. Just different and powerful. Some of my favorite nights of my live were the 90's rave scene. All started for me hearing this on the radio. Thank you! BTW, my gf put up with me trippin all night with chicks everywhere, now my wife, 32 years together. So u almost got me divorced! Still, it was fun!
Lo mejor de lo mejor !! del Tecno que he escuchado en mi existencia, con este tema he destrozado varios parlantes y le he roto los vidrios a los vecinos, un super clasico.
+Njoekiezoekie I have a dirty hunch that the "inside joke" of the song was a response to everybody sampling the hell out of James Brown in house tracks, which was true.
Damn, this jam takes me back to 1992 when I first started clubbing at Pompei's Night Club in Palm Springs. Unfortunately it burned down a few years later but the memories are still there. This song and "Blue" by Latour are the songs that introduced me and began my love for Techno. Techno used to go hard when it first came out in the late 80's - early 90's.
When i heard this in 91, i had no clue what it was.. Now here i am in 2020 with multiple techno playlist based on genre. All because i heard this gem when i was 12
Totally totally love this song... James Brown is dead. I used to love this on the club scene. I know the DJ at a club soon as I walked in and said hello to him he would put this song on, along with the KLF Song. And a couple other dance songs. I still love this today and I'm over 50 years old. Long live the 80s/some early 90s. 😁😄
Für Musik gibt es keine Altersgrenze..geil ist was gefällt und was nan fühlt...und der Song hier ist nunmal geil ... volle Pulle über Kopfhörer 😅👍😁😎🔥❤️🔥💥hammmmma wie jung damals 😮😅
Was 16 when this aired for the first time and it was as great then as it is today. Going back to this masterpiece every couple of years although it isn't even the style of music I usually prefer nowadays.
God damnit.. the absolute prosontification of 90s Techno and an era in music that was nothing less then magical. All of us who lived it to now watch this are in a unique group. One that is a dying breed of people who know/knew what reap music was
This song is burnt into my brain forever. I first heard it in 1992 while driving over 200 km/h on a German highway. What a rush that was for someone raised under the communist regime!
I love the fact that SCOOTER develop this song using their own unique philosophy to make a song this good even BETTER and more thrilling ❤❤❤❤ Among SCOOTER it's called "Call me manana".
Recuerdo cuando compré el casete Inovidable Verano del 92, el compilado venia con ese track pero una segunda version, lo bailaba con mi hermano en el equipo de audio encerrados en la pieza de mi mamá jaja! Fue el primer tema que considero yo techno y lo que años más tarde, varios años más adelante, en el año del 2008 más o menos me abrí a los eventos techno, sigue siendo la piedra soporte que me inspiró a ser devoto de ese género y demás subgéneros!

Gongrats man. This dark beat is timeless. Thank you so much
I’m 51 and had the luxury of partying in real time to this classic . Check out the KLF as well :)
And Snap
KLF will never die
I'm 45 and this is the music of my youth ❤ so many good parties !

Justified ancients of mu mu!
This is one of the best rave/dance hits of all time!!!!
in 1993 y this is first song techno rave
And we all have back and knee problems at this point! But what a time it was.
You had to be there in the early 90s to appreciate this movement. The Palladium, The Underground, The Tunnel! NYC!! This punched you in the gut.
When this fierce TRACK spun on the DJ'S 1200S all HELl broke loose on the dancefloor.... Memories.... Pyramid, Neo-Manhattan.. the ROCK... 1992...
Tears in my eyes of my lost youth what a paradise it was in the late 80 ies, begin 90’ies, technotronic 2 unlimted dfx leila k , new beat , bonzai records, ….
You are not alone... Einige Leute sind keine Zombies...
Im 51 years old and I still love this music its so awesome to listen to.
Ill never get tired of listening to this type of music
What is meant by the phrase "James Brown IS DEAD!" is not that the person, but his style of music, the rock music, is dead because techno has arrived, and techno had indeed spelled rock music's end, at least in Europe from that point onward.
Who ever danced to that track can be proud child of 90s....
WordOFAngel defo we rocked it
I danced to it........
.....im a child of the 60's
l burnt the dance floor when this song came on
the 90s :)
Dancing on 91... I was 18...what fantastic memories
I'm 44 and all of a sudden I went back 30 years ... how many memories
Imagine the crowd in the club yelling "James Brown is Dead" as they are dancing to the song while strobe lights and spotlights are flashing excessively.
The new generation must do it whit no big clubs.
The strobo lights are dangerous for epilepsy!
@@theoleonharrell759 Definitely! But clubs at that time often ignored light-related seizures as well as other health & safety concerns.
@@kutzeeuw every big franchise like Amnesia space privilege cream is based in ibiza bora bora is a small beach club and café del mar is a5 stori building with a beautiful sun set... The shop is bigger than the café!
Everyone danced better with strobe lights 👌
When this came out we didn't have the internet to check if James Brown actually died, we went and found an old person to ask if he was still alive......
anthony mills lmao
And then you found out that just like now, old people didn't know shit back then either.
I laughed so long and hard at this.
And then this came out: ruclips.net/video/3zYN-K6aesE/видео.html
Lol that's so funny. ; )
I love it, it's my favorite song on the first techno Tape I got from my brother. Unbelievable it's 30 years ago! I'm 41 now
懐かすぃ～♪ 確か10分ぐらいの超ロングバージョンもあったけな～ってか持ってたな～♪
I had just turned 21 whn this song came out, played at a lot of the Clubs I went too. Good memories
So cool. This takes me back to when I was 15. It was one of the hottest tracks of the time. I love that the description on this video depicts the story behind the song and includes the HOLY NOISE release of James Brown Is Still Alive in the same year. Epic.
Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it back in the 90's!!!
This song is about someone singing “wow I feel good I knew that I would. I feel nice like sugar and spice. So nice so goof I GOT YOU”

One of my favorite finds while recording mixtapes off of the radio. Only now 30 years later, listening and realizing it really WAS sick.
This beat is still sick twenty years later....
Your math is sick too
Pain hahah
As a club dj back in the day that track was a bitch to mix in and out of
30 years😉

This was a real milestone in Techno. It was so Amazing that such noisy and aggressive sound was played in regular german Dancehalls.

Now here i am in 2020 with multiple techno playlist based on genre. All because i heard this gem when i was 12
The intial orchestral synth hook is insane
My Mother got this on a cassette tape when I was 6. Good times!
Rap and techno a fine blend of music it all came together
It's Eurodance, which utilizes pop, rap and trance music
