Gwen McCrae · 1991
Recording

Recorded in the UK rave scene around 1991 and issued on Production House under The House Crew alias. Contemporary and retrospective sources credit the track to Floyd Dyce, credited as Dice, as the producer and writer behind the original release. The record became one of Production House’s defining early hardcore releases and helped signal the label’s rise in the UK rave and breakbeat hardcore movement. It circulated as a major club record rather than a mainstream chart single, and later writing has singled it out as a scene landmark. It remained a durable hardcore anthem, later reissued and remixed, and it is still referenced as a key Floyd Dyce/Production House track. Its vocal hook and breakbeat structure have been sampled or echoed by later rave and jungle records, giving it lasting reach beyond the original 12-inch release.
