Michael Gray ’The Weekend’ The Making Of A House Music Anthem
Michael Gray shares the story behind one of the ’00s most recognisable dance tracks, ‘The Weekend’.
Gray tell us how ‘The Weekend’ was once a forgotten project on his hard drive, originally inspired by Oliver Cheatham’s ‘Get Down Saturday Night’.
The original version of the track used a simple vocal hook, which when pressed up as a white label took Ibiza by storm in summer 2003.
Subsequently given an official release with expanded vocals, ‘The Weekend’ challenged the likes of Beyoncé and Eminem in the UK charts. Gray also tells us of his awkward Top of the Pops experience, the iconic music video, and how the track is still championed today by some of the world’s biggest DJs.
Electronic music history is rich with unforgettable and timeless classics. In our series, DJ Mag explores the tales behind some of the world’s favourite dance tracks, told by the people that made them.
