As a Dj @ Hard Rock Cafe i got my hands on this track about 3 weeks before ppl heard it on the radio. When i played it then, ppl wasn't really dancing or got hyped about it. But i was hyped AF! Dancing like crazy in my dj both. 3 weeks later when the track was playing on the NRJ radio, i played it again on my dj gigg. Ppl went MENTAL! Jesus! I think i played that track about 4-5 times every friday - saturday for several weeks. Ppl couldnt get enough of it! I still love the track! Cheers Fedde! Well done 🙌 hope one of my tracks could be a hit some day as well. Keep it up!🤟
My wishes : Deep Dish - say hello Paul Van Dyk - nothing but you Armin Van Buuren - Who is watching Andain - beutiful things Dj mag thank U so mutch this projects !
I first heard this at a rooftop house party in Brixton where the DJ loved it so much that he played it at least five times. We were all off chops so we loved it too! The cops got called because of the noise and were prowling the alleyway below but they couldn’t work out how to get upstairs to shut the party down 🤣
It’s interesting hearing about this track from the guy who created it. But for me this record marked the end of the Funky/ Disco House era which had prevailed since the late 90’s. It marked the start of the electro era which of course developed into the Tech House we see today.
@@opensourceecon Funky house is a genre of house music which is heavily inspired by disco. Many funky house tracks are built around samples of funk/disco/ soul records from the 70's and 80's. Typical BPM range is 125-128, usually tracks had some kind of vocal and and the instrumentation was generally quite rich and multi layered. Often acoustic instruments were used such as string sections, guitars and horns. The genre began life in the late 90's but definitely hit the peak of mainstream popularity from 2004-2006. Some famous records from what era which define the genre are: Junior Jack - Stupidisco, Aaron Smith - Dancin, Stardust - Music Sounds Better, Mgee - Bodyswerve, Gadjo feat Alexandra Prince - So Many Times, Shapeshifters - Lola’s theme. Put Your Hands up For Detroit is often classified as a genre called electro house. This genre started in the early 2006's and hit the peak of it's popularity between 2006-2008. The genre is characterised by it's use of electronic sounds, typical bpm is probably about the same as funky house. Often the production was a lot sparser and vocals were less common. But for me it felt like there was a very dramatic change in about October 2006 when 'put your hands up' came out. Funky certainly didn't disappear immediately but all of a sudden electro house was everywhere. Some famous electro house tracks from that era are obviously 'Put your hands up', Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah (D Ramirez Mix), Haji & Emanuel - Take Me Away.
the electro era really started around 05. 09 is when it REALLY took off tho with SO MANY BANGERS! i always start my house set with french/disco house, then to a bit of electro & then into the 09 stuff. i did do it on purpose to match the timeline, it just happened naturally as that it sounds so natural
this groove is just happily infectious.. cant help but bob your head & tap your feet.. always loved mixing this with let me think about it, at first i didnt know fedde was behind it too, the tag was just the ida coor (digital copy) it wasnt until a bit later that i saw that fedde was involved. made sense as to why it was soooo good! i wish i could find the Cherry Coke Remix i used to play, id buy it all over again, but i do have the original mix in my house set (both songs).. would love an updated version one of these days
Actually Fedde Le Grand, for me in the, uk, his other tracks were bangers as well: The Creeps (with Camille Jones) and Let me Think About it (with Ida Corr). Love to hear them now still.
I remember 1st hearing the track dropped in 2006 at a club event. The resident opening DJ threw on this track and the place really seemed to vibe off it. I never forgot about it after that. He's right about it not being radio friendly, though I would hear it on live FM rush hour mixes a year later. What was hilarious was them saying it was brand new when in fact it was being played in clubs for probably well over a year before that lol. That's when I really learned why it was essential to go to club nights as that is where you'd hear everything first and probably still do.
I flew to Sydney from Brisbane for a gig and I had a few hours to kill before we went to the venue. I hit up som record stores and heard this track and bought it straight away. Played it a few hours later and it went off
Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet Tour” indeed, to promote the Hard Candy album! Madonna was born in Bay City Michigan very close to Detroit, so Detroit is basically her home town! Which makes the connection even more fun
Fair play to him for not wanting to work for Will iam, that was the start of this music starting to sell out and go down hill. Look now they've abandoned it again because raps back.
I was at CR2 when they signed this.. I don't they realised how big this would be. They were into it but actual impact I do think so- printing up promo CDs and mail vinyls. Everyone did really well out of that. Big figures. Completely the opposite to nowadays, no track can breathe too many dicks trying to be superstars releasing half baked shit every two weeks. Fact
Las Vegas, I think it was at Body English. Those were strong years, a build up for what was about to occur. I have been down for almost eleven years. At this time we are making a shift back to raw release. We have had enough. Here we go, let us go Fredde... Respectfully, Scott
This track really hasn't stood the test of time. In hindsight the novelty vocal was all it had to offer. 15 years later it just sounds like cheesy throwaway pop dance, hardly a dance classic.
Comment The Story Of the first time you heard this track👇
Super Dj
Bad Boy Bill Behind the decks live
Besides the local house head djs on the radio. 😎 EP Tx
Fedee el Grande !!
I was 5 years old, I watch the videoclip on TV, and I like this track immediately
I heard this on TV on channel called VIVA for like 15 years ago...
Always thought it was 'i love this city'
This track was the reason why I visited my first ever festival and the first time ever to go by myself in a club (FLG was playing that night)

Your crowd are all poser suckers.
Just moved to detroit and I play this song almost every day I drive into downtown. Good vibes!
This track made house music famous in Suriname 🇸🇷
My wishes :
Deep Dish - say hello
Paul Van Dyk - nothing but you
Armin Van Buuren - Who is watching
Andain - beutiful things
Dj mag thank U so mutch this projects !
I met Fedde on the streets of NYC during a late night. Super chill dude! Even took a pic with me and my buddy and it was like 3 AM lol
That loop at the end is dreadful 😄 great story 🙌 this song was definitely in the thick of the MoS era!

Hahah love parties like that!
What a great story! “Our lovely city” 😍🤯 15 years later and I had no idea. It makes sense tho…..cause it’s all about that Detroit Love! 🖤 ❤️🖤

I am new to this. What are the characteristics and timelines of these subgenres please?

I love that song I wish more people could find this video
No mention of Granty the MC who did the vocal 😢
This is my favourite song ever

Taking me back to MTV but also my brothers back in the days

Even Carl Cox love it!
Amazing ❤
This track such an absolute bomb. Everyone loses their shit when this drops, even today!
Hes so gorgeous!
Anthem! Time to do one with Hardsoul's Back Together ... Seeing how popular this track still is.
Amazing track of my favorites 😃👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
I was in multiple clubs but it was a banger always. Its still a banger now lol
I broke this track in Tampa FL, so many great memories 🥰
I flew to Sydney from Brisbane for a gig and I had a few hours to kill before we went to the venue. I hit up som record stores and heard this track and bought it straight away. Played it a few hours later and it went off
First time I heard this song was on Bad Boy Bill's behind the decks live.
That acapella is from Will. I. Am?? 😮
Wow
Classics 🙂🙌
Still looking 💯 🔥🔥 please come back to Florida 🥲
It really was a rad video
Ios, Greece, 2006,good times
Great track
A producer with integrity, really love that.
4:48 it's funny how the producer of the track has only 3 seconds appearance on the official music video 😅
BTW that track never get old 🔥💯
Remembe The time you come to Viieet nam 2013 in sai gon
this guy doesnt age
Nice 💯💯
Can we get this for Kernkraft 400?
and now make . mason excedeer perfect
🔥
All this time I thought his name was Freddie
I do not understand why he does not admit he made the track fully based on Fix - Flash from 1992.
I just looked it up and a.) you’re right and b.) wow what a tune I’m an old house head and I’d never heard it. THANK YOU for the referral!
because he clearly didn't?
Probably because if he did there would be a copyright lawsuit heading his way.
Another lawsuit than the Mathew Dear one he mentioned? :D @@Protectaline
I love Brazil
Any label owner who said: "it's not for us" should go through psycheatric evaluation.
🥰🥰😍😘😘
♥♥♥
I preferred more 'let me think about it'
Was it the Hard Candy tour Madonna used this for Music?
Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet Tour” indeed, to promote the Hard Candy album! Madonna was born in Bay City Michigan very close to Detroit, so Detroit is basically her home town! Which makes the connection even more fun

Fact
Who that friend is ?
Sounds different now.. after You listen to real music IT hits different

Ik weet dat ik er uit gezet worden binnen kort
"I stole Matthew Dear's track"
simple
Ooof idk what was worse for the scene, electro or tech house, electro went mainstream turned into EDM which is truly an abomination. Brutal
Respect to sticking to your guns with WILL I AM.
These weirdos come from USA and think they can just do and take anything
By the way Detroit is a stty city 😂
Put your hands up for JON DALY ……….all Arabs will understand this
This track really hasn't stood the test of time. In hindsight the novelty vocal was all it had to offer. 15 years later it just sounds like cheesy throwaway pop dance, hardly a dance classic.
It sounded like that the moment it came out
Detroiters hated this track because it had nothing to do with Detroit..
I'm hatin on Will. He's kinda annoying.
To me at the time this was just a Benni Benassi rip off riding the electro house wave through the Großraumdiskos...
