DJ Swingsett And Dave Warren Whodini were one of the first acts to break out large from the early New York hip-hop scene. Rappers Jalil Hutchins and John "Ecstasy" Fletcher came together in the early ‘80s, and were among the first rap acts to incorporate straight R&B into their music, laying the groundwork for such later “new jack swing” acts as Bell Biv Devoe and Blackstreet. They also made the first hip-hop music video, “Magic’s Wand,” and were the first group to bring their own dancers onstage (Dr. Ice and Kangol Kid, who would later become part of U.T.F.O.). Adding DJ Drew “Grandmaster Dee” Carter (who could scratch records with nearly every body part) in 1986, the group’s reputation grew, thanks largely to such seminal hits as “The Haunted House of Rock” and the classic “Freaks Come Out at Night.” While watershed hip-hop albums like 1984’s Escape and 1986’s Back In Black ensured the group’s place in history, Whodini took an extended hiatus after 1987’s Open Sesame. When they returned with 1991’s Bag-A-Trix, they found that while their peers in the hip hop community still embraced and respected them, the public had all but forgotten them. An appearance in 1995’s rapumentary The Show did little to improve this, and Whodini’s 1996 album, Six, was largely ignored.     Whodini VS. DJ Swingsett And Dave Warren One Love (High Bias Mix) LiquidAudio Electronic, R&B The R&B grooves of the original almost completely vanish as DJ Swingsett & Dave Warren twist Whodini’s classic into a drum n’ bass stomper.
