"Higher State of Consciousness" is a song by American DJ Josh Wink. It was first released in March 1995.
Background
The song was initially a hit in the UK in 1995, where it reached #8 on the UK singles. The official 'Original Tweekin' Acid Funk Mix' was remixed by several artists the following year. The radio edit was remixed by Dex and Jonesey and the single peaked at #7 on the UK singles chart.[1] The track was remixed for a third time in 2007 by Dirty South. It reached #70 on the UK singles chart[1] and #1 on the UK Dance Chart. A key sample from the track was used by The Porn Kings for their 1996 track "Up to No Good".
