  • Tune ID - "I know I can make it"

This is a totally random one as I don’t have a sample of the tune that I can use (a mate gave me a mixtape in the mid-90s that I lost that has the tune on it and have been trying to piece all the tunes together over the years). So I’m gonna have to go proper old school with this one and describe the tune 😅

Hopefully it might trigger your memory banks though.

It uses a sample that has appeared a lot on other tracks and I imagine it was released 1995-96 roughly. It is a house tune but uses a disco /funk sample. Using some of the vocal samples, it goes:

_“Music, music, music, music and girls”

[Descending bassline: da - da - da]

“I know, I know I can make it….”

[Descending bassline: da - da - da]


“I know, I know I can make it….”

[Descending bassline: “da - da - da”]_

Repeat

Edit: I think it uses the same vocal sample as this one:

    whatever The vocal sample is from Simone – ‘My Family Depends On Me’ [Strictly Rhythm] from 1991.

    It might be worth post this on the Discogs forum. They’re great for 90’s stuff.

        Brilliant, thank you. Definitely sounds like it came from that one. Will check Discogs as you suggest.

          The track is Music and girls - I know I can make it.

          You’re welcome.

          What would we do without your encyclopedic musical knowledge and expertise Ed?

          Those nights out have paid off.
