Album Review: Forget About It Ehhh How Ya Doin by Joe Causi
Alright, let’s talk about Forget About It Ehhh How Ya Doin, the 2000 release from Brooklyn's own Joe Causi. If you’re into electronic music—specifically trance and house—you might wanna give this one a spin. Released under Full Blast! Records, it’s got that late '90s/early 2000s vibe that still feels kinda fresh today.
The album kicks off with its titular track in multiple versions, but two really stood out to me. First up is the Trance Mix Vocal version of “Forget About It Ehhh How Ya Doin?” Honestly, I can’t get enough of this one. The beat hits hard without being overwhelming, and the vocal hook? Super catchy. Like, you’ll be humming it while waiting for your coffee or something. It’s not trying too hard—it just works.
Then there’s the Radio Edit, which strips things down a bit but keeps all the energy intact. This version feels more polished, perfect if you want something less clubby and more chill. What I love about it is how smooth the transitions are—it doesn’t feel rushed or cluttered. You know when a song makes you nod along even though you’re just sitting on your couch? That’s this track right here.
One thing I gotta mention—the A Cappella version is wild. Just voices floating around, no beats, nothing else. Feels experimental, like Joe wanted to show he could pull off something different. And honestly? It kinda works. Not something I’d play at a party, but cool in its own weird way.
Reflecting on this album, it’s wild how music from 2000 still holds up. Back then, everyone was obsessed with Y2K and futuristic vibes, and you can totally hear that influence here. But what surprised me most? Listening to these tracks made me realize how much fun simpler production styles can be. No flashy drops or overproduced layers—just good old-fashioned beats and melodies.
Oh, and here’s an unexpected thought: Joe Causi should’ve named himself DJ ForgetAboutIt. Think about it—it would’ve been iconic.
So yeah, if you’re digging through old-school trance and house gems, don’t sleep on Forget About It Ehhh How Ya Doin. It’s got heart, groove, and enough nostalgia to make you miss flip phones.
