Dc GoGo music, a very influential strand of Funk and the deliverer of "Bounce" to modern music

[Deoji]

Naw thats not quite it... it may be this song, but its a different version.
I heard it a couple weeks ago on the 4th, but I been searching everywhere for that version...

They used to ALWAYS play it, on the gogo mixes, like during the noon old skool mix.

EDIT: matter fact, they use the same beat from the beginning of this cut

Well then you may be talking about Northeast Groovers - "Water Dance" bcuz that's what Flexxx sampled.

I grew up on Junk, Back and Essence but mostly Back. I hope those that move to our beautiful city "GET" what GO-GO is and what it means to a "people" on day. Sad to say I doubt it tho because my own girl who's from Jersey always have negative shyt to say about "OUR" music...

Does anyone have a connect to early 2000s radio and club classics

I really need that Fly Away joint that I believe Back did using that Lenny Kravitz song

And Crazy in Love by NEG, specifically the one from Ibex in 2003 but any will do

Any songs of this era in general I’m thirsting for

You just looking for straight singles or tapes?

 

[Take It In Blood]

Anything bro, it’s hard to search for songs on YouTube because of the covers and the small niche

Nope. DC didn’t invent the general term

The name for gogo probably comes from this song

At least that’s what I always heard. But I doubt anyone knows for sure. I think OP is a music historian or something so he may have already spoken on this

BOUNCE MUSIC DERIVES FROM MIAMI BASS MUSIC NOT NO fukkING GOGO

Im talking the bounce feel, not the genre known as New Orleans Bounce, which did take influence from Dc Go-Go along with Mardi Gras Indian music.

"Southern music has that street vibe with that soulful feel," says Dre. "You listen to East Coast music, it's got a kind of rhythm. You listen to West Coast, it's got its own kind of rhythm. You listen to Southern music, it's got kind of like a bouncy feel to it. It's soul. That's what it is. It's soulful music with more instrumentation."

Outkast's hit "Rosa Parks" featured a break that sounded like a country hoedown, all knee-slappin' and whoops and hollers and a blues harmonica player Dre borrowed from his mother's church. "I don't think you can get more South than that song," says Dre. "That's a South song 'cause it got an old-time, country back porch feeling. The breakdown in the middle? You wouldn't catch anybody from New York doing that."

The bounce that animates New Orleans hip-hop is a genre that developed during sound checks at that city's clubs. The first recorded bounce track, "Where Dey At," came out in 1991, and while most bounce follows what XXL magazine describes as "the dirty blues tradition of ribald sexual scenarios, crude humor and casual violence," that archetypal bounce record included the chant "[Expletive] David Duke."

"Bounce is what makes Southern hip-hop have a different attitude from all other hip-hop sounds around the world," says Master P. "It's a lot of energy. It make your shoulders move up and down."
