Got The Feeling by Got: A Little Slice of UK House Magic
Alright, let me just say this—Got The Feeling is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released in 2004, it’s a low-key gem from the UK house scene, self-released under "Not On Label." No big-name label pushing it, no flashy marketing—just pure vibes straight outta the underground. And honestly? That rawness makes it hit even harder.
Now, let’s talk tracks. There are only two here: A Side and B Side. Yeah, they kept it simple with the names, but don’t let that fool you. These tunes carry weight.
I gotta start with A Side. Man, this track has this groove that feels like stepping into a warm hug after a long night out. It's got these lush chords floating around, kinda wobbly but so smooth—you know what I mean? Like when you're dancing alone at home and suddenly feel like the whole world could wait for a sec. The beat builds slowly, teasing you until BAM, it drops, and you’re hooked. You can tell whoever made this wasn’t trying too hard to impress anyone; they just wanted to make something real. And damn if it doesn’t work every time.
Then there’s B Side, which flips things up a bit. This one leans darker, grittier, almost like it’s telling a secret story through sound. There’s this bassline that rumbles underneath everything, giving off serious late-night warehouse energy. It reminds me of those moments when you’re lost in your own head, surrounded by strangers who somehow feel familiar. The kind of song that makes you wanna close your eyes and nod along, forgetting everything else exists for a minute. Honestly, I’ve replayed this track more times than I care to admit because it just gets me.
What gets me about Got The Feeling is how intimate it feels despite being electronic music. It’s not about perfection—it’s about emotion. These tracks aren’t polished to death; instead, they breathe. They live. And maybe that’s why they stick with you long after the record stops spinning.
Here’s the kicker though: part of me wonders if anyone outside the UK even heard this album back then. I stumbled across it randomly years later, tucked away in some dusty corner of the internet. Kinda crazy how good art can exist quietly, waiting for someone to find it. Makes you think—how much other amazing stuff is hiding out there, just waiting for us to press play?
So yeah, do yourself a favor and give Got The Feeling a listen. It might not change your life, but it’ll definitely give you a couple hours of blissful escape. Plus, isn’t that what house music’s all about?
