By the mid-1990s, Run-DMC's career was at a low point. The once-unstoppable trio had been eclipsed by a new wave of rappers. Enter Jason Nevins, a house music DJ and producer from New York. Nevins, who had been dabbling with remixes, felt the original 1983 track "wasn't much cop" and created a bootleg remix in his studio "for a laugh".
