First time I heard The Brothers Johnson's "Ain't We Funkin' Now" was on the ultimate break beat series and as I remember the track was edited by Luis Flores (the man at UBB who extended the drumbreaks on some of the volumes).
UBB used the version with the drumbreak and I found a bootleg 12" featuring that same version at a flea market in NYC. (..crates full of 12" and classic breakbeats. Some had written "Magic" on the label. Now, if it had belong to Mr. Magic that explains the condition was under "good" and often "fair". I bought them all, though. It was $1/each and several had dublets in the cover. Yay!)
Anyway, I'm wondering why Todd Terje didn't use the drumbeat version in his edit of "Ain't We Funkin' Now"!? He's used the "regular" extended version that goes straight to "..listen to the bass man" halfway. Well, the edit, which is unofficial, is a DJ-edit well arranged with no effects added. Not his best to date.
