On November 27th the legendary Hed Kandi release what has already become one of the biggest vocal tracks of the year. Stand if you want to. Stare if you want to. But we’ve got to party. It’s time to cut a rug. Oh, yes. ‘Boogie 2Nite.’

The original R&B version was a massive club hit for R&B superstar Tweet in 2002, ‘Boogie 2Nite’ became an unofficial Hed Kandi anthem at their nights across the country, but it never got the full attention it deserved. Now those sensible Kandi chaps have drafted in a host of remixers, to ensure that ‘Boogie2Nite’ takes up its rightful place at the top of the charts.

Seamus Haji & DB Boulevard provide the radio edits, lacing the glitterball vocals with an electro bassline so chunky you’ll have to take the door off its hinges just to get it in the house. DB Boulevard, who are probably best know for their massive hit ‘Point Of View’, inject a subtle but funky strut to the original, transforming it into a diva house anthem.
