Originally released in 1992 on Fresh Fruit Records with the B-Side 'Land Of Haze'.
Original remixes by General Base (Thomas Kukula).
Re-remixed in 1996 by DJ Quicksilver / Tommaso De Donatis, and in 1997 by Merlyn & Chuck Mellow / Chris & Shah.
'Give It Up' was a huge international club hit and was resampled many times and/or inspired variations, such as '20 Hz' by Capricorn (1993), 'Batuca Gum' by Q & Q (1993), and 'Batucada' by DJ Dero (1993).
The track is notable for being one of the first tunes in the Tribal House style, which became the dominant sound for NYC and Miami DJs from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s.
The famous song 'Fairground' by Simply Red (1995) used extensive samples from 'Give It Up'.
