EMF stood for "Epsom Mad Funkers"
Not "Ecstasy MotherFucker", you heathens.
And founding keyboardist Derry Brownson passed away this week, likely from a brain tumor.
He and vocalist Ian Dench came up with the hook for this song in 1990 while hungover, and it became one of the biggest club hits of all time.
For such a heavily electronic band, they sure did bring it live.
The group was on hiatus and reformed many times, but they ARE still together and still performing - and Brownson, who was visibly ill but still in the group, did occasionally appear with them, as he remained on good terms right until the end.
He will clearly be missed.
