The story behind 'Don't You Want Me' with Felix | Muzikxpress 004

During my stay in Los Angeles I had the honour to interview Felix about his massive house classic "Don't You Want Me", which came out in 1992. I spoke to Felix about what happened after the release, what he's most proud of, the production process of "Don't You Want Me", the amount of remixes of the track, plus much more!

Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Well done. Very nice guy, this mr. Felix. Really lovely to watch all documentaries and interviews with these great icons. As a local-radio dj it was very hard to keep track of all those releases back in the days. Especially since producers used multiple identities to publish their songs. Hearing these stories makes this amazing period in music more tangible.

The Mars Plastic remix is my favourite version, stays true to the original. Blew the roof off at Trade back in the day.

[ToniKoo]

One of the greatest house tracks ever!

[rollinsjp]

I so love when he pointed out that this track is near impossible to come up with a crowd pleaser remix because the original is just so exceptional catchy and brilliant you just can’t top that easily at all

[juanchovidal]

exelente nota y muchas gracias por ponerla en Español, saludos y buen trabajo

One of the greatest tracks ever made, but Felix - It Will Make Me Crazy is his best work imo, one of the best tracks of the 90’s

I remember the first time i listened to this record.
My first thought was.. it has little dynamics.. it lacks high frequencies, perhaps it has some slight disharmony in the intonations, something that could be done better, i don't know what...
But as I listened to it, I realized that the only thing I could express was:
This record is actually perfect.
It goes directly into my heart, exactly because it is so.
Masterpiece..

[rollinsjp]

This was the sound of the era!!! Thank you for making this interview happened….this was good history ❤. Yes it made us all so happy on the dance floor

[marcovtjev]

Still got the deconstruction single of this and "make me crazy" :-)

[fleece]

It is one of my all-time favorites, with loads of happy memories, and a top tune to dance to.

[johnc]

This song will always have a special place in my heart.
It takes me back to 1992 when I was 18, and I dedicate this epic track to my very first crush. The one who I could never have. Felix FOREVER !!
God bless !!

I just turned 50 in Sept 2021. This was one of my favorites tracks to play in my Set when I Started as a DJ at the College Radio in UMAINE, back in 1992.

[SkylineTechnology]

Don't you want me
What time is love
Age of love
Those 3 are timeless

[GkTheodore]

Felix, I just want to THANK YOU! REALLY!
Although I am not a dance person THIS was a song that got me to dance!
PLEASE make another song with the POWER of "Don't You Want Me"!
Greetings from Greece!

I would love for him to know that this track was the last track played at Gatecrasher Millennium. 25, 000+ people there in the arena.

I’ll never forget that. The place just changed when this came on. People had tears in their eyes, it was incredible.

I well-up just thinking about it.

Thank you, Felix. ❤❤

Mr Felix if you read this and remember this, 1992 you came into my record shop, (More Than Music) on the Blackfriars Road, 2 streets down from Hooj Choons), you and Jeremy came into the shop and I think just had the 12” pressed you gave me a copy to play as you just had it cut and wanted to hear it, IT BLEW ME AWAY, the rest is history.!🎹🏠💥

Must be one of the best dance tracks of the '90s.
Has to be up there with:
- Moby - Go,
- Prodigy - No Good (start the dance),
- Bizarre In - Playing With Knives
- Candi Staton - You Got The Love
- Snap! - The Power
there are others !

I thought that Rollo would get a mention, as he was part of the duo that did this remix being played.

[pdrg]

Seems like a nice guy, and looks so much younger than I'd have expected!

[GioColorado]
