Mousse T. tells the story behind his 1998 house hit ‘Horny’.

The German-Turkish DJ and producer recounts how ‘Horny’ originated as a remix of Michael Jackson’s ‘Ghosts’, and how a visit in the studio from Roger Sanchez sealed the deal for him to finish the track.

Originally an instrumental, named after its instantly-recognisable horn section, Mousse T. later introduced the iconic vocals of Emma Lanford, Nadine Richardson and Inaya Day.

‘Horny’ went on to be a huge hit, charting in the UK. Mousse T. reflects on its success, filming the music video, being featured on South Park and going into the Top of The Pops studio
