That track goes over well out west Too... Kinda Prince ish...

sound is kinda dead where im at. woulda been great for summer of 2013.

Wow tuff crowd huh...

It's gotten a great response from the first time I played it. Reminds me more of The Gap Band than Prince though. And yes very well-produced/engineered.

where y'all playing it at? like open format gigs or mobiles?

Great throwback sound. Hope it doesn't gt overplayed too soon.

open format for me.

I'm in a place where the format is mostly R&B and hip-hop, heavy on 1992-2005 stuff but with a good amount of newer stuff especially later in the evening. Target audience is late 20's-early 40's, though we get some of the better-behaved younger crowd as well.

I do corporate gigs/BBQs, jack/jills and weddings. Some top-40.. classic rock.. funk.. barely touch EDM stuff at these gigs. ... I play lots of throwback rnb as well.. 702, Missy, Motel Jordan.. stuff like that still lights up the dancefloor with my corporate crowds. Weirdest thing.. I played "twist and shout" by the beatles the other night for the first time in 20 years I think.. and they loved it. Crowds can be so different! I love it! It really IS about taking chances sometimes. This weekend was also the first time "September (remix) by Earth Wind and Fire" went over kinda MEH. Usually it gets people on the floor. Strange.. However.. I opened the dancing with MJ's "don't stop 'til you get enough" and rammed it up nice 'n proper though :) I love a good mix.

Great tune - played it at a wedding Sat night for a "classic rock" crowd... still great response!

Another hot track is Barbangerz remix of "That's The Way I Like It" KC & Sunshine Band.

Still not primetime at the club, but late warmup it's working. Goes real well primetime at mobiles tho, (I've been doing mostly college stuff since it came out)

I think we passed the Nudisco, and went straight for Morris Day and The Time. I also feel that Stranger by Chris Malinchak kinda pre dated this, and didn't get the shine it deserved.

/rant

damn, i kinda quit listening to nu disco over the last year and hadn't heard that malinchek. pretty close, good spot.

D'Angelo new album dropped, it's around the same style and sound.

great, great tune.

Hope it explodes cause Mark Ronson is one of my favourite producers...

Dropped it at a full on underground bass music night on Saturday to a sold-out room and it went off - couldn't have been more different from the vibe of the night, but we made it work.

Definitely a dope track. Has a strong Lakeside, One Way, even Zapp influence going on.

I do think it might be a bit hit or miss...I doubt it works with an under 25 all Hip Hop/R&B trendy crowd, and probably not with any EDM type crowds either. But any crowd that likes the 80's Funk that this was inspired by will love it. A lot of Pop crowds will dig it too. My 30+ crowd two weeks ago loved it on first listen...one lady started pop locking.

I love this discussion. Glad so many are chiming in!

Track has been working for me. I like it so much it actually fits perfect with all those DJ Wood and Soo edits I have...lol. I love that funky type stuff I can cut all night to it nice and funky. I tagged Bruno Mars and Ronson on instagram post telling them its the dopest shit.

Its working at my Top 40 spots Im sure if any urban heads would rock to this. Dope song regardless

It will just like blurred lines, by the way they mix so well together its actually got me playing blurred lines and some old funk tunes at the club now....at least for 10 minutes

thanks for the dig I learned a new artist

Played this at a christmas party, didn't really go off. It is on our local top 40 station though playing like crazy, so it was probably just the crowd. X-Mas parties can be lame sometimes, especially if it's on a Thursday night after work.

Been playing this video the moment I got it. Great response from every from every age. Even did a wedding this past Saturday and kids were also dancing with the adults.

nm

I've been playing it on mobile gigs and the response has been solid. I have a couple of remix version that are pretty nice.

Played at a Sweet 16 last week. Went over real well!

Why?

this is exactly what crossed my mind when i first heard it...lol.

Personally I like it.
It's a good solid tune and even has real horns in it.
Crowds are starting to come around to it.
Also it's fun to mix with the acapella of "All Gold Everything" for a second or two. LOL

This is on heavy rotation with the radio stations here (Australia) I quite like the sound. I'd much prefer it over the typical 'EDM' that has been non stop for forever now.

this right here, I love cutting it over blurred lines then quickly switching to uptown funk. You should try it loop pop the molly Im sweating over the blurred lines beat. Pop the molly Im sweating (robing thicke scream Hoooo) its dope af

Fleur East sings Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson’s Uptow…: youtu.be

great track. One of the UK X factor finalists sung it and it was better than the original imho

can you post the mix?

Im trying to think if I have that set recorded already that I can post? But if not I will try to remember to do that routine this weekend and record it at least the audio.

I will definitely have to disagree with you on that statement.

I'm not 100% sure but I think Ronson records to tape. That's probably why it sounds so nice and phat.

Can't wait for the 200+ shitty remixes of this that comes out of which 1% might be decent but still not as good as the original.

yeah - where's the Trap remix? ugh.

i just can't feel it. its wack to me. its like a style thats not out enough to bring back in yet.

guess it is no 1 on the itunes pop chart though.

i can see why soo digs it, reminds me of some of those funky breaks records ala nick thayer bomb strikes, fort knox five,etc. To me that stuff is so unfunky but trying to be funky. it is big in the pacific northwest and lots of canada. cant fool people in the south though.

no no no and no again lol

ffft - white man's funk ftw.

Honestly tho, I don't really consider it "funk" per se, it's its own thing that bridges a bit between proper funk and electronic breakbeat.

Love it since I've heard it the first time. I guess it will work for older folks, funk and soul lovers only, over here. But I do hope, I am wrong with my prediction, because I love it!

Already starting to hear plenty of horrid remixes that just make it sound generic.

I'm a fan.
It slips nicely between a love bizarre and walk the dinosaur.

But it's in 3 different movie commercials
And on the radio every 2 minutes.

So... It will have a massive spike.
And then Everyone will be sick of it.
Thanks media!

Yea that really sucks considering its one of the few commerical tracks I actually like, just like blurred lines I loved that track until the radio abused it.
