"LK (Carolina Carol Bela)", sometimes referred to as "It's the Way", is a 2002 drum and bass song by DJ Marky, XRS, and Stamina MC which reached No.
"LK" was produced in 2002[1] in XRS's studio[2] after DJ Marky gave up on recreating the sound of Ed Rush and Optical's "Wormhole".
[3] "LK" was originally an instrumental, and samples vocals and guitar from Toquinho and Jorge Ben's "Carolina Carol Bela",[2] the B-side[1] of "Que Maravilha".
[2] After a tour in Brazil, DJ Marky returned to the United Kingdom to find himself inundated with requests to play "It's the Way", a title based on what Stamina MC had been freestyling over the record.
[8] Jeremy Abbott of NME thought their cover was a particular highlight of their performance at Reading and Leeds Festival in 2022, describing their rendition as "bouncy", and noted that observing "a rabble of enthusiastic teens flailing to a drum'n'bass classic released years before they were born proves that the old can still very much be gold".
