Basement Jaxx - Romeo (Official Video)

[@humanafterallTF2]

The early 2000 house is something truly magnificent, wonderous... No words to describe it. I only wish i was a young adult clubbing then. Being in my thirties sucks in 2020's. No clubs playing music like this. Missed the WHOLE disco house scene.

[@phykin]

Too true just unreal stuff.

Yup. Especially in early 2000's NY, it was really a magical time. Back in the Solid State radio days with dj liquid todd...some.of the best electronica ever.

This song brings a tear to my eye. 2001, in love with a beautiful girl, blasting this song in my car thinking about her. Of course back then i had 12" subs to bump it. So long ago, the girl is long gone, life completely different, and I'm an old man. Life goes so fast. I'm happy I have that memory though.
