Strike It by Mike Dunn presents Ruff N’Stuff
Chicago house favourite Mike Dunn delivers his latest dose of extravagant funk on Classic Music Company, drawing inspiration from ballroom culture for this captivating release. Embodying the full energy of a ball the track's vocal, provided by Ruff N'Stuff who was involved in the ballroom scene in Chicago, echoes the long-held traditions of the MC central to proceedings and hyping up the crowd and competitors. Honey Dijon's snapping, elasticated Re-Edit of the aptly titled 'Strike It' opens the release, a popping bassline and expressive percussion adding to the crisp, sonic sharpness created by the demanding vocal. Mike's original version follows; a bumping dose of Chicago goodness with atmospheric builds and his signature dynamic, multi-layered sound shining through at its finest. Capturing the essence of a ball in mid-flow, this is undoubtedly a track designed to move your body.
