Love this track which still sounds amazing all these years on.
More epicness from the legend that is Steve Proctor.
You will no doubt recognise the key riff which was later used by Together on their epic "Hardcore Uproar"
Just love the raw sound of this track and also the fact that it inspired "Hardcore Uproar" which was without a doubt a pivotal track in the 90's Northern race culture.
A big fave of mine, although not the mix I'm most familiar with which was the "149 Club Mix" previously posted on the PCC blog many years ago (back in 2010).
However, it's "So good, it's so good!" I thought it was definitely worthy of another post.
Love pretty much all Steve Proctor's remix work, he was and still is a dance music ledge!
I only came across this remix recently and have to say it's pretty fantastic and I've hardly stopped playing it since. Everyone will probably remember the more commercial version which was a big Madchester tune back in 1991 - I actually remember buying the 12" in 91, but as mentioned only came across this wonderful Steve Proctor remix recently (although it was doe in 91 also).
The remix is absolutely brilliant it takes a while to build so be patient, but then 4 mins 20 secs in it simply explodes into a wonderful piano breakdown and then from then on in, it simply blows you away as the piano just keeps building and building. Bloody Awesome in my opinion.
Fantastic work Mr Proctor who was one of leading lights in the early Acid House scene back in 1988 and he also produced some brilliant remixes around that time.
Another reason I love this track is for the "Can Yooooou Dig It" samples which are taken from the film "The Warriors", which was a true cult classic film and one of my favourite films as a young lad growing up.
It's basically about a gathering of gangs in the US and then the main gang leader Cyrus gets shot and a gang called the Warriors get blamed (even though they didn't do it). They then have every gang in NYC trying to do them over, trouble is the're hundreds of miles from their home town Coney Island and they have to fight their way from the Bronx through all the other gangs territories to get home.
It's a great film, if you haven't seen it - check it out. It'll probably feel a bit dated now, but it was made in 1979 and hence is now over 30 years old. Anyway enough about films.
Get into this track - Can Yoooou Dig It?? Yes, of course you can!!!
