Track: Wild Luv

Artist: Roach Motel

Year: 1994

Label: Junior Boy's Own 

Back-to-back Heller & Farley, but why not?  Sampling a funkadelic guitar loop from Instant Funk's 1979 Bodyshine, Heller & Farley (under the Roach Motel incarnation), Wild Luv simply rocks.  The track builds to a prolonged break in the middle and then builds itself up again.  For those wondering, the "wild pitch" vocals are a reference to DJ Pierre's series of Wild Pitch remixes.

Here's the sample which the track is built upon:

In 1983, Larry Levan served up a special bass-heavy and funk-filled mix of Gwen Guthrie's Peanut Butter.  Listen at the 30 second mark for the sampled vocals, but keep listening around 1:15-1:45 for the sickest bassline you'll hear all day.

Years later, UK outfit N-Joi would use future Republica frontwoman Saffron to belt out Guthrie's sultry vocals over a piano-driven floor-filler, creating one of the biggest crossover hits of the era.
