Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On has to be some kinda high watermark of the 90s, right?

"Push the Feeling On (Dub of Doom)" was obviously very important for Todd Edwards and Speed/UK Garage.

We can also call this the Mark Kinchen is a genius thread:

cutting vocals up and rearranging tham around the best = always classic

todd edwards master of this, obvs

altho if we're talking about mersh garage, then this is the daddy:

i was gonna say, i'd never heard "push the feeling on" before to my knowledge, but it sounds and aawwwful lot like "show me love"! which came first?

Jomanda's "Got a Love for You" was another early example of this US Garage vocal (and horn) cut up style.

i listened to this song maybe 10 times a day a few months ago

I've heard two versions of this song. First one have string sections and faster tempo. IIRC this is often played by The Martinez Brothers. The second one is slower and without string sections but have cheesy female vocal singing "push it push it push the feeling on." So which one is the original mix and which is the remix? By whom?

I think the slower one might be the original, since that was the one in the video.

I really would like to find a copy of this, since naturally I thought that it, being such a big song, would be ample in used record stores, but no luck.

i had a similar problem with bucketheadz "the bomb", couldn't find it used anywhere. ended up having to ebay it

i'm most familiar with the "mk dub" of PtFO, which is, yeah, very todd edwards-y (and awesome)

Apart from MK's "Dub of Doom" (the famous one) there are also two other contemporary MK mixes that have never been re-issued,

Push The Feeling On (MK's Nocturnal Dub)
Push The Feeling On (MK's Deep Dawn Mix)

Possibly worth hearing? I haven't.

Still amazing. It's quietly become massively influential hasn't it? You hear elements of this track in so much British dance music these days.

Wikipedia says this about the dude who made it:

Reid is a successful songwriter in his own right, having co-written a UK chart-topping single for Westlife ("Unbreakable"), and also songs for Tina Turner and Rod Stewart. He is a friend of Simon Cowell, and he co-wrote the Kelly Clarkson and Leona Lewis hit "A Moment Like This". He has worked as a songwriter for the Spanish singer Mónica Naranjo, with songs including "No Voy A Llorar", "If You Leave Me Now" and " Hotline", he also worked with Ian Levine, in "Whenever You Need Someone" (Bad Boys Inc), and tracks for Eternal, Gemini and Optimystic.

Clearly this record was some kind of massive fluke.

This was so over-played at the time that I reached total saturation point, having bought it on import early on. Must re-assess.

Bloody hell, never actually heard the original vocal version before... UGH!

Back when this was a hit, the BBC had just started subtitling the songs on Top of the Pops.

(First one I remember was Suede's Stay Together, particularly the 2nd line of the chorus "Stay.. He's Dangerous")

I always wondered what they made of this one?

Didn't this guy have something to do with that Stiltskin "Inside" hit?

I was thinking about this very song yesterday night! Used to love it. Didn't they do a Rednex and follow it up with another song that sounded exactly the same?

I think they did, yes. (Being of a certain age, I think of this as "doing a Gary's Gang".)

Just played the MK dub back to back with the Todd Edwards dub of St Germain "Alabama Blues", also from 1995, which as I recall pretty much kick-started speed garage. Still prefer the latter, but the proto-UK-Funkyness of "Push The Feeling" cannot be denied...

It's that melodica (?) riff. It's brilliant!

The video for this (ie thread's first post) might actually cancel out any joy this song brings me - and that's a lot of joy.

I remember seeing them perform on TV at the time, it was a Normski-fronted programme I think. They actually did the MK remix version (it was the hit after all) but the lead singer had to mime "err in their lives.." cut-up vocal. It was awful.

the track and the video are still brilliant

20 years, no rust

Singer is clearly Robbie Savage
