One of the most iconic piano house records in history

One of the most iconic piano house records in history

This is one of those records that like a bright beacon in the dark has shone beautifully over the world of dance music now for 32 Years.
Like the wise old bearded grandfather of UK progressive house music, it is never far away from any event and is always there for help and backup when a dancefloor needs a bit of extra oomph!
 
In 1992 Gat Decor consisted of Simon Slater, Laurence Nelson and Simon Hanson. They devised the name by making an anagram of the words from the London record shop Tag Records, a tiny little shop in Soho which I adored and spent much money in over the years.
 
Originally the track was released on the brilliant big house label Effective Records and went on to become what I would rank as one of THE biggest house / progressive records of all time.
 
This first release contained the original, instrumental version (The Naked Mix) along with Darren Emerson’s remix, which i believe was his first remix (fact fans can correct me if I’m wrong on that)
 
It still blows me away to see crowds of people reacting to this record in the exact same way that they did 30 years ago, and the younger generation loosing their minds to it on first listen.
 
Forget about all the remixes and later vocal renditions, the original Naked mix is and has always been the number 1.
You will struggle to find a bigger record in dance music history. Simple.
