A true house music classic, Alcatraz’s ‘Giv Me Luv’ returns early-2013 on the 1trax imprint with a wealth of remix talent stepping up, including H-Foundation, Two Armadillos, Doc Martin, Dodha, Shenoda and Secret Society. Originally released in 1995 on Deep Dish’s Yoshitoshi imprint, ‘Giv Me Luv’ represented some of the finest post-tribal, New York influenced house music around. With possibly the most recognisable stabs in house history alongside the titular vocal refrain and crunching drums, the Victor Imbres and Jean Phillipe Aviance production was undoubtedly the biggest record of the year and saw re-releases on countless labels around the world. Now, 1trax, have put together the first remix package in the release’s history that truly compliments the original’s house anthem status. From the modern West-Coast H-Foundation interpretation to Shenoda’s distinct UK version, each mix provides a welcome new slant. Giles Smith and the late Martin Dawson’s Two Armadillo’s project deliver a deep, impeccably judged take while 1trax stalwarts Dodha and Secret Society provide brooding and slo-mo takes respectively. Doc Martin, as you’d expect from a true house master – also nails it. A bonefide house classic being reworked by some of the genre’s finest talents, old and new, is an enticing prospect and this package delivers across the board.
