When he was a little boy DJ Laidback Luke used to love Mozart and Beethoven. Ever since he's tried to transmit the sounds of these composers into his music. He was voted #17 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ list in 2010.
Laidback Luke grew up in The Netherlands and made his name as a graffiti artist before turning to making music. He has worked with artists such as David Guetta, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Junior Sanchez and played throughout Europe and North America as well as shows in Japan and Ibiza. He has released two studio albums: Psyched Up (1998) and Electronic Satisfaction (2002) as well as a successful mix album, Windmill Skill (2003). In 2003, van Scheppingen did a remix of the Daft Punk song "Crescendolls" for the duo's poorly-received remix album Daft Club.

I was falling down the river
Floating into the light
Can't decide if I'm drunk or sober
Energy, bass is crawling to my knees
Moving one, two, three I surrender to the beat
Give it one more breath
Oh yes
You are now rockin' with the best
Oh yes
Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best
Oh yes, do wanna rock, rock, rock
Got me ooh, got me ooh, baby feels so right
Got me ooh, got me jumping tight
Ooh, got me ooh, baby feels so right
Got me ooh, got me jumping tight
Got me ooh, got me ooh, baby feels so right
Got me ooh, got me jumping tight
Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best
Oh yes, do wanna rock, rock, rock
Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best
Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best
Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best
Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best, best, best
Energy, bass is crawling to my knees
Moving one, two, three, I surrender to the beat
Give it one more breath
Heart is pounding in my chest
Oh yes
You are now rockin' with the best
Oh yes
Oh yes
Do wanna rockin' with the best
Oh yes

Oh yes, do wanna rockin' with the best
The lyrics for Laidback Luke's "Rocking With The Best" describe the experience of being caught up in the energy and excitement of a music event. The song starts with the singer feeling like they are falling down a river, presumably with the beat of the music carrying them along. They are floating into the light, and can't decide if they are drunk or sober - this could be a metaphor for the way that the music is making them feel, a kind of intoxication that transcends physical substances.
As the bass crawls to their knees, they surrender to the beat, moving to the rhythm of the music. There is a feeling of surrender and abandon, an almost spiritual connection to the music that is reflected in the pounding of their heart. The chorus reinforces this feeling - "You are now rocking with the best" - a kind of exhortation to let go and fully embrace the experience.
The repetition of the phrase "do wanna rockin' with the best" serves to reinforce the idea that this is a communal experience, that everyone present is united by their love of the music and their desire to share in its energy. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the phrase "Oh yes", reinforcing the idea of complete surrender and acceptance of the experience.
