This one's my top pick this month - drop this track in a Tech House set and the crowd will go nuts, recognizing the temporary switcheroo. Or, melt it into a full-on Soulful House set and it would likely be the most memorable track of the evening. The track's most excellent concept tells a story everyone can relate to - "no more ... no more mind games" - while sticking to its house roots with "Can't we, just be together, in love and harmony." Byron Stingily's amazing falsetto just pulls this one together and makes it unique. If you don't have any tracks featuring him, then you better darn well start with this one!
In both the Original and the Club versions, Mass Destruction's chord sequence repeats in a catchy 4-count, which, added to Stingily's improvised scat, just about glues this one inside your head permanently! The Beatapella has a nice steady bass throughout, so you could drop the whole track (as opposed to just using a snippet if it was a straight-up accapella). The Reprise is sort of an opposite of the Beatapella - the bassline sits this one out but the vocals are complemented with that short, repeating chord sequence.
