Get Up And Dance

A soul refrain in tech-house form

An old-school vocal call to dance supplies the foundation of Cloonee’s “Get Up And Dance,” a 2026 tech-house release that reworks a familiar refrain associated with “Now That We Found Love.” That song has its own lineage, from the O’Jays’ original to Heavy D & the Boyz’ 1991 version, and Cloonee’s track draws on the latter’s recognizable vocal energy. The lyric fragments are not a new narrative so much as a sequence of invitations and commands, chosen for their rhythmic value and their ability to trigger recognition.

Released on Hellbent Records in September 2026, the track is credited as a collaboration with Franky Rizardo. Cloonee’s driving low end meets a more stripped-back groove, while the repeated vocal is chopped into a compact hook. Beatport lists an extended mix, fitting the track’s DJ-facing structure: the refrain can return in cycles while the instrumental sections give a set room to build. The release’s timing and club-oriented presentation place it squarely within contemporary tech house, where familiar vocal material is often used to create immediate crowd connection.

The available coverage focuses on release and production context rather than rigorous chart measurement, so claims of broad commercial success would be premature. The song’s reception is best framed as a club record whose source vocal gives it an instant point of access. That familiarity is also the central creative trade-off: the hook brings a long history of soul and hip-hop dance music into a new setting, while the house arrangement prioritizes repetition and momentum over the original’s fuller song form. The result is a functional, high-energy rework rather than a replacement for its source recordings.
