Single of the Day: George Kranz – Trommeltanz (Special Din Daa Daa mix)
A cult mutant disco favourite, George Kranz released his oddball anthem Trommeltanz (Din Daa Daa) back in 1984. Quite possibly the most sampled and referenced song of the past twenty amongst the house and hip scene due to its famous and infectious ‘Din Daa Daa’ refrain, the song still sounds [...]
