I've heard this song for years - all the way back to the damn high school homecoming dances Smilie_PDT (yep, its that type of track)
Its sounds semi-old skool, has a breakbeat/RnB sound, female vocalist, & the beat is driven mostly by the hats & bassline.

Break comes in, then a whistle, then the chorus starts.....
Chorus is something like: "Set it off I suggest yall, Set it off I suggest yall, set it off" (repeat) "Set it off on the left yall, Set it off on the right yall, set it off" (repeat)

Just curious - who is this?

There are 2 versions of this - 1st is 'bunker kru' on champion records from 1988 - and 2nd is 'Harlequin 4's'
From my memory the bunker cru is the best version.
Hope that helps.

I thought it was Strafe? This is the record I had of it, and most the people I know have, but it is a repress:

Oh..I guess Strafe is the Harlequin Four's? At least the two records are produced by the same person - George Logios. Learn somethin everyday Smilie_PDT

I think the Strafe version is the one that I was looking for. I'm still trying to download it though. DJ Aaliyah, I like that track u put up - it has the exact same chorus. Thanx 4 replying everyone! Smilie_PDT

I have a version of this (somewhere) on vinyl by Masquerade. I can vaguely remeber a version of disco line dancing started by this track. Jeeez , did i just admit to that?
