One of the most memorable House music moments of all time

How do you rework such a classic moment in time? Arguably one of the most memorable house music moments, born out of the black LGBTQ+ scene in Chicago at the legendary Warehouse and known as one of Frankie Knuckles earliest productions; Your Love is a stone cold classic. A record that is up there with the greats, instantlyrecognisable and a song that only get better with time.

Written by Jamie Principle and originally released in 1986, Your Love has become a seminal recording over the past 34 years. Originally an underground club anthem, famously borrowed on the crossover hit Youve Got The Love (The Source feat. Candi Staton), and most recently re-produced by as part of the Directors Cut project which aimed to update a number of classic cuts for the modern dancefloor, this is a record that endures the test of time. Working alongside The Frankie Knuckles Foundation and Eric Kupper, SoSure Music now releases two new remixes for 2020 from Darrius Syrossian and Alan Dixon.

First up, House music aficionado and legendary Sankeys resident Darius Syrossian offers his unique blend of beats to the remix package. Darius production is heavily influenced by some of the greats think of the finest spinners from Detroit, New York and Chicago and is well placed to approach this huge task. Having releases on some exceptional labels including Get Physical, Viva Music and Hot Creations, he is very much about pure house and very fitting for this remix. Darius introduces a rolling house beat and some old skool breakbeats into his mix, keeping the energy high throughout; bringing a feeling of a euphoria and hitting the peak time moment.

It is probably one of the toughest projects you could ever take with a track which has this much legendary status. You cannot disrespect it by changing it too much but at the same time you have to put your stamp on it. I’m very happy with how it has turned out. Its also great knowing that this release is going to be helping out the Frankie Knuckles Foundation

Charting a rapid rise through the ranks in a relatively short time Alan Dixon is already building a name for himself in the House and Nu Disco scene and has recently released on labels including Glitterbox, Permanent Vacation, Running Back and True Romance. Alans remix aims directly at the centre of the disco dancefloor. A strong beat dominates a unique energy through the mix along with a slightly nostalgic vibe. With a beautiful floaty interlude and a raw emotion this remix updates a classic with respect while also giving a fresh new twist.

Getting the opportunity to remix one of the most iconic house tracks of all time is obviously an honour. Luckily with the original having the old Chicago Trax sound I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Retain the original song structure and melodies and just freshen them up for today’s dancefloors (if they still exist). Frankie Knuckles if he was from Berlin in 2020…
