“Right On!” is a song by the Scottish house duo Silicone Soul. The track evolved over several versions from its earliest form “Right On 4 Tha Darkness” to the widely known “Right On Right On”, and then to a vocal version “Right On!” featuring Louise Clare Marshall, which was released as a single on 24 September 2001.[1]
Background and composition
Silicone Soul first developed the track in 1999 as “Right On 4 Tha Darkness”, a re-working of Curtis Mayfield’s “Right On for the Darkness”, which underlies the track’s string arrangement and orchestral motifs. In interviews, Craig Morrison explained that the duo wanted to make a record “with strings and depth that still worked on the dancefloor,” which eventually evolved into “Right On Right On."[2]
The song gained popularity in Ibiza’s club scene, becoming an anthem in the early 2000s—particularly at the nightclub Space, which helped push the track to broader European recognition.[1]
Critical reception and legacy
DJ Mag described “Right On” as a “cult Ibiza anthem” whose orchestral sweep and vocal iterations allowed it to transcend underground dance floors into wider recognition.[1] A 20-year retrospective by Change Underground notes that its unusual length and orchestral sweep didn’t prevent it from becoming a floor-filler, crediting DJs in Ibiza with breaking it internationally.[2] In a review of a Darkroom Dubs compilation, BlackPlastic mentions “Right On!” as the “genre-defying track … that found a place in many DJs’ sets,” and remarks that it moved beyond simple club crossover to become part of the duo’s defining identity.[3]
