Mocean Worker, the electro-funk project by Adam Dorn, released his sixth studio album, Candygram for Mowo!, earlier this week. Over the past decade, Mocean Worker's tracks, which combine big band style horns and Sixties and Seventies soul grooves, have appeared on countless television shows, movies, and commercials. Songwriter, producer, bassist and remixer Dorn tells Rolling Stone that when creating his aptly named and danceable new track "Swagger," he "wanted to write a song that could serve as a sort of personal theme to lift someone up and put a smile on their face. Give them that vibe to go out and confidently take care of some bidnuss. That's what 'Swagger' is about." Mocean Worker's album Candygram for Mowo! is out now, but you can download "Swagger" for free here.

“Push It”

Salt-N-Pepa | 1987

Originating as a B side to their cover of the Stax classic “Tramp,” Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandi “Pepa” Denton and Dee Dee “DJ Spinderella” Roper came up with the goods on this career-making, Grammy-nominated platinum single about working it on the dancefloor. “Push It” has been sampled and spliced to death since it debuted in 1987, yet the original track is as fresh and fly as when SNP — among the few original women of hip-hop — debuted it. “Most men will never believe ‘Push It’ was never about sex,” said James. “And that’s why the record went to Number One,” said Denton. “Everybody thought it was about sex.”
