Breakbeats and Pianos
2009-10-05 by The Double KUnity – Unity (Future Sound Of London Mix)
I recently downloaded the original version of this track over at Work It To The Bone – a real blast from the past ‘91 uplifting house track that I hadn’t heard for ages. Highly recommended – go and grab it now.
But then I remembered this absolutely awesome ‘92 “remix” by the Future Sound Of London, which preserves pretty much nothing at all of the original (there are a few vocal snippets used, and I guess it could be the same pianos too but speeded up so much here that I can’t tell for sure) and instead combines beautiful sampled melodies, monster breaks and massive pianos in a noticeably not-very-typical-FSOL way.
I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of the jungle tune that uses the same sampled melody from the opening of this tune (the original melody is from Fozbee & Cooz – Free Your Mind). I’m sure I had it in an LTJ Bukem mix years ago and should know what it is, but I just can’t place it.
In fact the more I think about it perhaps this is actually the tune I’m thinking of and Bukem just played it very fast in the mix. Help me out folks if you can – do you know any other tunes that sample the opening melody here?

nice one, didn't know about this FSOL mix using the Fozbee + Cooz melody! Great track, need to nab it on vinyl.
Shouts to all the dilate crew.
TDK, cant help you on the source of the sample at the moment, but think I've heard it somewhere else. If I hear again, I will report )
ps. The 'Tru De-light EP' from '93 (in my June 08 arcihves) A side samples 'Unity'
Thanks for digging this out. As a general rule, Union City Recordings made their label by grabbing releases from previous years and treating them to remixes, eg TC1991 et al.
