​Chocolate Puma, Junior Sanchez, and Todd Terry Collab on "Lost Your Groove"

Almost one hundred years of dance music experience are in this one track alone.

The cumulative dance music history shared between Chocolate Puma, Junior Sanchez, and Todd Terry racks up to about one hundred years. Think about that. This time one hundred years ago, if you tried to explain the internet to someone, you would be jailed for heresy, so the fact that such historical heroes of house can come together is cause for celebration alone. That their collaborative tune "Lost Your Groove," released on Dim Mak, is such a guaranteed barnburner of a track is just icing on the cake.

Chocolate Puma recount the tune's origin: "We were in LA when the mighty Junior Sanchez called us to come over to the studio to finally work on some music. We talked about how we love dance music with an actual groove, and after we laid down a beat, Junior's friend Arama came into the studio. Before we knew it Junior wrote some very dope lyrics and she sang an amazing part."

It wasn't until much later and a chance encounter with another house music legend that the tune really found it's own groove. Chocolate Puma explains, "Months later, we went to Junior's studio in New Jersey to finish our track. After a few hours, the doorbell rang and there was our all time house superhero Todd Terry. Without Todd we wouldn't be making the beats we've been making for over 20 years, so it was kind of mind blowing that he randomly started playing some keyboard parts on our track!"

So next to being the nicest guy ever, and the best drum programmer alive, he is also a very good keyboard player. So if you listen to the the breakdown with that funky bassline, that's Todd taking the track to another level. All in all it was an amazing experience to work with these very talented people."
