Scott Wozniak ft Dirty Turk - My Light [Deep Haven Music]

There have been many great examples of house music tracks that employed spoken word vocals over the years but this is as good as it gets for me. From memory I first stumbled across it on a Frankie Knuckles compilation released by Nervous Records called "Motivation Too". If it was good enough for the Godfather of House, you can be pretty certain it's pretty special. From the moment the chords kick in I'm hooked, the inviting warmth and atmospheric vibe of the keyboard arrangement, the compelling nature of the rhythms and those vocals that implore you to listen. Eleven years on I've yet to hear anything to beat it. In addition to the original mix there was a pair of Groove Assassin remixes from Nick Moss which also hit the spot rather nicely. Sadly this doesn't appear to be available to purchase any more which only makes me appreciate it even more.
