I originally got this for the "Of your passion" mix which i prefer to the Naked mix, simply for the extra vocal - "of your passion - uh, uh, uh"! but when i heard the Emerson remix - wow, what a remix - i love it - sounds amazing on studio monitors!

Darren Emerson's mix of Gat Decor's "Passion" is the definitive mix in every sense of the word definitive. A 14 minute journey with almost strategically timed builds and breakdowns, it is a mix that makes everyone on the dancefloor feel a bit sexier...and makes trainspotters convulse with delight.
And believe it or not, according to dirty.org, this was his very first remix.

An absolute belter of a track that crossed over on to so many dancefloors & so many different DJs. It's tough rocking house music but at the same time a euphoric piano heaven-sent anthem that would light up any club. Sasha used to cane this & mix it with DOP - 'Groovy Beat' (Guerilla) which goes amazingly well. This was probably the start of what people now call progressive house but it's so much more interesting than much of the bland, souless shite under that banner today.
In my opinion one of the greatest house anthems of all time. The production, melody and structure are so spot-on that they make this a truly timeless track and it's difficult to believe it's as old as it is!
Unfortunately some phillistines have mauled this beautiful track with acapella vocals (e.g. Biti's 'Do You Want It Right Now') in order to make it more commercial.
