[vintage-tigre]

Candi Staton's unmistakable voice collided with early '90s rave culture in "You've Got the Love" (The Source Remix, 1991). What started as a gospel-soul acapella was reborn when paired with a UK house instrumental, creating one of the most emotionally charged dance anthems of its time.

The remix fused Staton's raw, soulful delivery with euphoric breakbeats and shimmering synths, transforming the track into a timeless club classic, one that still sends crowds into full nostalgia mode decades later.

You Got The Love and Your Love: Deep House Classic

You Got The Love was my ‘gateway drug’, my path into Deep House and electronic music as a whole. I still think of it as Deep House, even if the rest of the world doesn't. Extrapolating further, it was this record that set me on a course to start writing about music, DJing and later exploring the nightlife centred around my favourite genres of music. Although, it always comes back to listening to the music and feeling the emotions it brings. Today, as much as ever. I'm unashamed to call this record, appreciated by so many, as the record that changed my life!

Over the years, it has been covered by Florence and the machine (remixed by Jamie XX), Mamacita and others!
