20 YEARS AGO: Surreal Madrid - Girls Of The Nite

Released 20 years ago in January 1999, this underrated big beat classic from Surreal Madrid. It was originally issued in 1998 via Fused and Bruised Records, and became a regular favourite on the classic Radio 1 show The Evening Session in the late 90s. It reached number 86 in the UK singles charts.

Surreal Madrid was the alias of Colin Owens, who also produced a few under records under the alias of Chef, and was a member of Scorpio Rising during 1989 to 1994. As well as a series of singles, Surreal Madrid released a full length album, 2000's 'No More Boom Boom'.

The addictive melodic hook is sampled from the 1973 track 'I Found Sunshine' by soul legends The Chi-Lites.
