We loved the song and went working on it and made a Dynamix original mix and then we gave it to Junior. It just blew up with reactions. Maybe it did resonate with Junior's crowd because in a sense, they fathered it. But at the time we felt that the vocals needed backgrounds and that the song was lacking some polishing and no one could do this background but MB herself as her voice really is unique and would not sit with an alien backing. And since "Never Get Me" was hitting hard at Twilo during the same period we decided to sit on "Bodyfly" to get better vocals... but MB was touring all year and we just waited for her come back to town and she never did, or at least we never hooked up.. Despite this Junior loved it so much he wanted to do a mix anyway for his usage and by then he had moved to Exit and Junior blew up his remix. All the while we planned to re cut the vocal and never hooked up with MB. She almost performed at Earth but we did not make it happen 2 times because of scheduling complications until we just sidetracked from this project as there was so much else happening with our other projects on the market that we dove into that and simply forgot about it for a while.....
Then one day a few years later the smart idea came to KULT to play it for Inda Matrix as a possible follow up to "Love Dominates" and she gave her thumbs up to re-cut it. She came to the studio and we did the first vocal try but she nailed it right away so I got inspired and did this mix while I was waiting for Beppe to finish his exams. I played it for Beppe and he feels it.
RS: The record has a real rock feel to it - with guitars. Are you ever concerned that adding nontraditional elements to dance records might affect their success?
EC: Paradoxically, one's problem and one's solutions are always in the same place. I actually feel that the guitar riff gives it a mainstream edge. I feel that traditions cause stagnation and I am looking to affect the song's success by using nontraditional elements. The great song Beppe wrote and Inda Matrix's awesome vocals really lead my programming and rule over my mix. My mix could not do any of this without those ingredients! I come from the underground where you are requested to allow yourself to contribute your vision and your level of evolution as that is the contribution asked of you. The guitar was also a happy accident and not as studied as one my think. A friend came by with his 16 year old teenage son (From the rock group Invidia) and I had finished the song and felt it needed something so we hired him for a session on the spot , he left and came back with his guitar and plugged it in my studio and he freestyled over the piece. I then cut little parts of it and composed the backing and flew snippets here and there. KULT liked it and so we sent it out like that for advance pre-buzz.
