Big Love

Pete Heller created the track in 1998 while his studio partner Terry Farley was away, building the record around a sampled vocal and a guitar-riff loop from Stargard’s “Wear It Out” with an Akai sampler. The production is credited to Heller alone. The track became a major club record in 1999, reaching No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 1 on the US dance chart. It was widely treated as one of the defining house records of its era and was ranked by Billboard as the year’s top dance track. Big Love remained a signature house anthem long after release, with later reissues and remixes keeping it in circulation on dancefloors and streaming platforms. Its filtered-house sound and hook-driven structure influenced later club records and became one of Pete Heller’s enduring identifiers.
