Charlotte de Witte‘s reworking of Scoop‘s 90s raver favorite “Drop It” has been released on her specialized Époque label, a forum for remixes/re-workings of vintage nightlife treasures, particularly from the 1990s and early noughties. Her interpretation is out right now, just in time to provide any drooping high-summer dance floors a lift in energy. 

One of those songs that never quite left the dance floor is “Drop It.” Particularly in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, it embodies the attitude of a time. Rewriting it for Époque seemed like a homage to a classic rave history moment.

“‘Drop It’ is one of those tracks that never really left the dance floor. It carries the spirit of an era, especially in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Reworking it for Époque felt like a tribute to a timeless moment in rave history. This one’s for the dancers, then and now.” – Charlotte de Witte

Written by Daniel Maze and Jan Vervloet, Scoop‘s original “Drop It” was published by the Belgian dance music in 1999. Ever since, this song has been a classic. It’s a happy, innocent euro-pop electro-song with a lot of 90s fun. It has rattling drum builds, ridiculously catchy staccato tootling synth themes, the female yeah-ay-ay-eh-eh-eah war cry, a melodic synth chord break and Otis Redding‘s often-sampled 1968 Monterey pledge. 

“Drop It” (Charlotte de Witte Rework) is a somewhat faster, more demanding beast. It has a pounding, truly invincible techno beat. The iconic synth riffs are given more acidic edge and resonance, and fluttering, juddering themes now fill the air like batwings. The classic, readily recognizable 1990s themes are still present, along with a big breakdown and slamming drop, and some faint echoes of Otis R. A large piece of unadulterated dancefloor lifting.

“Drop It” (Charlotte de Witte Rework) is out now on Époque. Get it here
