Let Me Do My Thing by Funnyman: A Wild Ride Through '90s House Vibes
Alright, let’s cut the crap and dive straight into this underrated gem from 1994. Let Me Do My Thing by Funnyman isn’t just another album—it’s a chaotic explosion of Euro House beats that’ll slap you in the face if you’re not ready for it. Released under Pulse-8 Records in the UK, this record screams early ‘90s rave culture with its raw energy and unapologetic vibe. If you’re here for polished perfection, bounce now—this one’s all about grit, groove, and making your body move whether you like it or not.
First up, we’ve got "Let Me Do My Thing (Original Club Mix)", which is basically the heart and soul of the whole damn project. From the second those synths kick in, it’s game over. This track doesn’t mess around; it grabs you by the collar and drags you onto the dance floor. The bassline? Insane. It thumps so hard you can feel it rattling your ribs. What makes it stick in my head though is how unrelenting it feels—it’s like Funnyman looked at house music and said, “Nah, let’s crank this up to eleven.” There’s no chill, no downtime, just pure adrenaline-fueled madness. You don’t listen to this—you experience it.
Then there’s "Let Me Do My Thing (Radio Mix)", which flips the script just enough to make it accessible without losing its edge. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still packed with attitude, but they tone down some of the wildness to fit radio standards. And honestly? That works. It’s catchy as hell, with hooks that burrow into your brain and refuse to leave. I remember hearing this version on an old cassette tape back in the day (yeah, I’m ancient), and even then, it stood out. It had that perfect mix of sleazy charm and infectious rhythm that made me wanna crank the volume till my speakers begged for mercy.
The third track, the Video Mix, is solid too, but let’s be real—it plays second fiddle to the other two bangers. Still fun, still funky, but it doesn’t hit quite as hard.
So yeah, Let Me Do My Thing might not reinvent the wheel, but who cares? It’s a snapshot of what made ‘90s electronic music so damn exciting—a time when artists weren’t afraid to go big, bold, and borderline reckless. Listening to this album today feels like stepping into a time machine where everyone’s sweating, shouting, and losing their minds on the dance floor.
Here’s the kicker though: Funnyman disappeared after this release. Like, poof. Gone. No follow-up albums, no interviews, nothing. Makes you wonder if he burned out, got bored, or just decided the world wasn’t ready for more. Either way, Let Me Do My Thing remains a punchy reminder of what happens when someone lets loose and creates something purely for the love of chaos. Turn it up loud, lose yourself, and thank me later.
