C/D: Robin S "Show Me Love"

i know Robin's got a deeper voice and there's more of a soulful vibe on 'Show Me Love' compared to 'Finally', 'Gypsy Woman', 'Do You Want It Right Now', 'Too Blind To See It' and 'Got To Have Your Love' but i seem to prefer all those tracks myself

i dont think it can sum up the 90s unlike gareth, but it does remind me of a certain period when the tune WAS the big big club anthem of its time, ala Livin Joy's 'Dreamer', Barbara Tucker's 'Beautiful People' and so on.

God, that tune was bad. What ever happened to that guy anyway?

i just realised the pundom therein

"Show Me Love" is tied into my memories of my college party scene along with "100% Pure Love", "Rhythm Is A Dancer", "More and More", "Finally", "Boom Boom Boom", "I Like To Move It" and "Mr. Vain". They were the great equalizers that let me get away with blasting Acen, Orbital and The Prodigy at people during parties. I love them and want them to have my bouncy diva-house (or pervert-house) babies.

*sings peter cetera song* you bring feeeeling to my liiieeffe, you're the inspiraaatioooonnn

Classic! ;-D

In your remix of Robin S. "Show Me Love” it has been said you used Korg M1 synthesizer to create the special sound that's significant for that song - a sound that has been copied many time since then. How did you know you wanted to add that sound to the track?

“I had no idea about what sound to use, but from an earlier remix I had the bass line programmed with preset No 16 in the M1, which is called Pick Bass. The label didn't like the mix and I decided to do a new mix and the first thing I did was to change the bass sound, incidentally to preset 17, the organ. Completely accidental and this taught me that accidents are good so I switch a lot of sound to things that shouldn't work and get interesting results."

Classic, classic, classic.

I was deeeeeep in the wrong upthread.

o man do i love this song

Of course it's a classic. Sounds best played quite fast.

Utterly classic and probably one of the most ubiquitous songs of the 90's

lots of awesome memories attached to this song. so so classic

i remember spinning parties back then and this was the song the every dj played even if the guy right before you played it.

What are the best remixes other than the Stonebridge?

CLASSIC!

P4ul K3nnedy has a great story about being in Washington D.C. at a party the month this song came out and seeing the reaction of the crowd to it. Maybe he can come along and tell it.

Not usually a fan of Junior Vasquez, but this 10-min. live "Show Me Love" workout's pretty jackworthy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZQKotELfH8

Words are so easy to say, you've got to show me love.

dud.

If I never hear this again it will be too soon.

i can't get this bassline out of my head

boo @stirry

why the hate?

He's not a toy, he's not a plaything!

Classic of classics. Serious middle school flashbacks to this one.

wtf is it abt this song that makes me go batshit crazy when i hear it dancing. i mean i like it fine normally but i fucking lose it and wanna shout along with it etc. jesus.

Still can't believe how wrong and stupid I was about this song.

It's incredible.

stirmonster is so wrong!!

for this, c/d means "classic duh"

this is super classic 4 all time, but man does this seem to get played a LOT now ... like its a certified DJ tool in chicago at the moment. its always been there but its really surfaced at all levels in the past couple years or something

when we were out on saturday they played teardrops then this. it was awesome.

whose "teardrops"?

womack + womack's

swoon

still looking for a dub/instro of this if anyone's got it on mp3~~

Not sure about in Chicago but the electro-house retooling from about a year or two ago was ridiculously ubiquitous generally - had the unfortunate consequence of making the original seem a bit slow whenever I hear it now.

It is a song that people go crazy to though, I think I fell in love a bit watching this hot dude dance enthusiastically to the remix at a club in Perth about 12 months ago.

so classic! it was so funny djing when this came out cuz the all 4 guys before you would play it but you still had to anyways. always tryin to find a new/cool way to mix it in was key.

yeah like im listenin to it now and its pretty good and all, but i swear, but any sort of chemical in me and thisll make my eyes turn backwards

chemical could mean coffee tbh

think i may have heard this record in a wider variety of situations than any other

saw DJ Marky play some refix or use an acapella of this last week (right before crashing from 190bpm mentalism into Good Life by Inner City), the MC was desperately encouraging ppl to sing along

when i used to dj w/ilxor san frandisco, he told me if he could veto me from playing any song of mine, this would be it

That's like a veto on chocolate and flowers.

god that recent version of it was so horrible, no slinkiness, just bosh, and the new vocal was worse too, it was almost as bad as that vocal 'strings of life' someone did a few years back

driving forever with this track on repeat on the way to another show on a crazy tour = one of the best things ever.

i actually don't really understand how one can hate on this song.

i'm also partial to the Kerri Chandler version:

this is pretty fun

mixing from this into "that's the way love goes" = yoga flame for all time

What is it with people called "Robin" and songs called "Show Me Love" ?

6 Robin S Show Me Love Mar 1993
8 Robyn Show Me Love Mar 1998

if you mean people called either "Robin S" or "Robyn" yeah i dunno!

btw Robyn's recent acoustic version of her own song pwns

God, so Classic. I'd agree with upthread comments of mini-revival in the last two years. I'm always have with me when I play out but sadly often forget...

i assume its recent upsurge is due to the general deep house revival? i have to say - in london it feels like it's always popular every year

stonebridge all the way. long may you jack.

did y'all know that the hit version of this is a remix?? i had no idea!
the original version from 1990 is so good:
