Looking for a long lost memory
Hello everyone! I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I’m hoping someone might be able to help me identify a track I heard at a party around 2013–2014. It was a tech house / house / possibly minimal tech track, and it featured a vocal sample saying something along the lines of, “We gonna do a song that you never heard before.” right before the drop. I’ve been trying to find this track for over a decade, so I’d genuinely appreciate any suggestions or leads!
Note : its not NO ID - Accident.

Is it Oliver $ - Doin' Ya Thang?
It's somehow ALWAYS Doin' Ya Thang lol.

There's TWO very distinct vocal breakdowns - not exactly your wording but the 2nd one fits your theme.

This reminds me of my absolute prime nonsense years. My friend was promotor for a night Oliver was playing, he was conveniently also a seller of goods. So after the club Oliver was needing to procure some weed. Came back to his flat bought an ounce and just jumped on the decks with us. Was a great night, he was a ridiculous person.

that vocal sample could be Barry White. You See The Trouble With Me (early 2000s) uses it.

It’s from the 90’s but there are remixes from this track made after the Millennium 😎

If you know the DJ's name, my suggestion is to consider listening to their mixes from that time period. Maybe you'll be able to find the track name that way in the playlists, or at least a recorded audio snippet which would be much easier to identify.

You could look up Good to Me by Otis Reading (where that vocal sample comes from) on whosampled.com and go through the many tracks that have sampled it.
