Boston Bun - Don't Wanna Dance

Universal/Island Records Ltd, 2019

Disco doyen Boston Bun aka Thibaud Noyer is a veteran of the French house scene with a discography that includes releases on the legendary Ed Banger Records plus remixes for artists such as Breakbot, Riton and Mark Ronson. We caught up with Thibaud in his temporary North London studio

to find out how he made the infectious Don’t Wanna Dance, a booty-shaking house stomper featuring a replayed sample of Double Exposure’s big, bold and brassy I Got The Hots (For Ya).

How did you discover the original Double Exposure track? Were you familiar with it before making Don’t Wanna Dance?

“Absolutely not! I spend a lot of time on YouTube, a lot of the time I’m making playlists of tracks people have ripped from vinyl, so my YouTube algorithm is highly trained! It’s like my favorite record shop, it knows me better than anyone else. I get a lot of sample ideas that I don’t necessarily use. With this sample, I made a few things with it, and eventually, I did a proper re-edit that I played at Leeds festival.
