Mary J Blige’s Family Affair is one of the best R&B songs of the noughts. Don’t argue with me – it’s dancefloor certified. Hearing it envokes dear memories of a multi-cultural packed dancefloor, no fights, drank in my cup (blue Alize most likely), joie de vivre of being 18 at a time when club R&B was king.

It’s remix and sample-ability has only further enforced its pop-culture relevance and longevity within dance music. Like it chopped, screwed and slowed down? See Fabiane Luttenberger, Deep House your thing? Made to Move‘s got you (special shout out to Louie Fresco and MK) and now XXYYXX has sampled Mary J for his new single Zygote.

Keeping it uptempo and short at 2 and a half minutes, this finishes just as you start to really get into it.
