"RipGroove" is the debut single by English speed garage duo Double 99. A huge underground UK club hit in 1997 when first released on an EP under their alias R.I.P. Productions, the song was officially released as a single twice, first in May 1997 where it reached No. 31 on the UK Singles Chart, then again in October in a new mix featuring vocals by MC Top Cat, peaking seventeen places higher at No. 14.[1] The song appeared on their sole album, 7th High, released in 2001.
The song contains samples of Armand van Helden's Drum 'n' Bass Mix of CJ Bolland's "Sugar Is Sweeter", DJ Gunshot's "Wheel 'n' Deal", Barbara Tucker's "I Get Lifted (The Underground Network Mix)" and a vocal sample from the Kelly G Bump-N-Go Vocal Mix of Tina Moore's "Never Gonna Let You Go".[2]
A mashup of "RipGroove" together with the vocals of Another Level's "Be Alone No More" was released, called the 'Another Groove Mix'.[3]
On 14 October 2022, a new set of remixes as well as a new rerecorded version were released to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
