When I deejayed parties and needed a break, I'd play "Knee Deep", "More Bounce", and the long versions of "One Nation Under a Groove", "Atomic Dog", and "Aqua Boogie". I knew people would rush the floor and I also knew I had about 15 minutes to relax.
The funny thing is, they were too long, but when I made mix tapes I never used the short edits because I was in love with the epics. So, a quarter of a 60 minute tape would be one song.
