"Electric Relaxation" was the second single from A Tribe Called Quest's third album Midnight Marauders. It contains a sample of "Mystic Brew" by Ronnie Foster.[1] The beat is notable for being a three bar loop, unusual in hip hop music. Along with "Lyrics to Go" on the same album, this was one of the first instances of such a loop.
