There's no question this song is an anthem, both within the gay community and (should be) for the house community itself. For most of mainstream America (at least), this track and Black Box's "Everybody, Everybody" were most likely their first exposure to the sound that became urban house. It didn't hurt that the MTV-friendly gyrations of Freedom Williams and Zelma Davis (with Martha Wash's voice!) took advantage of the new format to help usher in a new sound for the 90's.

So, I'm not one bit ashamed of owning this one. I stumbled across a copy sitting innocently in the Times Square Virgin store's record racks (not normally my prime source for yummy 12" goodness, mind you) and just had to buy it. The record was still sealed in shrink-wrap, and I don't even think it's a re-pressing. Just sitting in a warehouse somewhere for (good god) 15 years. Is that dope enough? In-deed.

I don't know if I agree that Peter's work is particularly "hit-or-miss". (I'd give that label to someone like Victor, who as a live DJ can sometimes be absolutely phenomenal, but sometimes everything just falls apart. Tho his production work lately has been amazing!! ...Please don't kill me, V. ) Peter's skill as a DJ and as a remixer isn't to constantly amaze, tho -- his greatness comes in a body of work that's solid overall, punctuated by moments of sheer genius. On Live @ Roxy 1, it was ALL about the journey into and thru "Turn me Over". Live @ Roxy 2? The PHENOMENAL mix from CLimaxx Rated into Robbie's old-sk00l Candi Staton remix. ...And on Live @ Roxy 3? Well, I'm listening now hoping to find the next little bit of Rauhofer genius.

In addition to heading a label that's putting out some really great club music (a lot of it his own!), Peter's grown amazingly as a DJ -- his Roxy residence clearly started a whole new chapter for him. It's amazing to listen to the series and know that it's by the same cheeseball who made "Twist this Pussy" so much fun. :)
