Track: Giv Me Luv

Artist: Alcatraz

Year: 1995

Label: Yoshitoshi Recordings

Giv Me Luv is one of the all time deepest and darkest, chill-inducing deep house bangers.   There's solid remixes out there, but why mess with the original? It's gold on wax.  The track starts off with an unassuming 4/4 beat before a funkier bassline and percussion effects are laid down. Once that feel is established, the song's signature synth hook is released.  But this isn't any ol' synth hook, this is a devastating, super-fat hook pulled from the fiery infernos of hell.  It's dark, heavy, and unrelenting.  Played loudly enough and you won't hear yourself think, it just straight-up shakes your brain.  After a masterful drop at around the 3:30 mark, vocals kick in and carry the track through the end.  All in all, it's a 8 and a half minute odyssey crafted by Jean-Phillippe Aviance and Victor Imbres and you'll be sorry it has to end.
