Consumer Advice : Need you ask the question - 'How loud is to loud ? How much bass is to much bass ? You've got two versions of this classic here: #1 radio version - followed by #2 extended remix - then #3 a mini-doc on the making of the song & album! The tracks automatically play one after another - enjoy the Port Macquarie sunshine!

 'Just the Thing' was written & recorded by Australian singer-songwriter and music producer Paul Mac.

The track features the vocals of Peta Morris. The song was released in June 2001 as the second single from Mac's debut studio album 3000 Feet High. 'Just the Thing' peaked at number 17 on the Australian ARIA Charts and was certified gold.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2001, the song was nominated for Best Male Artist and Best Dance Release. At the APRA Music Awards of 2002 the song won the APRA Award for Most Performed Dance Work.

'Just the Thing' takes a swathe of deep house and disco tropes and turns them into an indelible hands-in-the-air jam. What a hook, and what a voice; Paul Mac's most successful single is an all-time funky house belter!"
