"Push the Feeling On" (1992/95) "Surrender Your Love" (1995)

"Push the Feeling On" is a 1992 song recorded by the Scottish house music group Nightcrawlers. It was the first single from its album Let's Push It. The song was initially issued in the United Kingdom and very quickly established itself as a massive club favourite all across the country. It was only a hit in the US when it was released there in 1993.^[1] It proved to be a greater commercial success internationally when it was re-released in 1995. The song was remixed featuring John Reid as a vocalist.^[2] It reached the top 10 in various European countries, including the UK, where it peaked at #3.

The song was released again in 2003 and 2007, in other remixed versions. In 2008, Bob Sinclar interpolated the track for his remix of Rihanna's hit single "Don't Stop the Music." In May 2009, Miami rapper Pitbull sampled the song in his song "Hotel Room Service", and British house duo Waze & Odyssey also sampled the song for their bootleg of R.Kelly's Bump n' Grind when released in 2014. In 2012 the German DJ-duo Glamrock Brothers released a remake of the track in cooperation with dance-project Sunloverz and rapper Zyon Gooden. A new music video also features John Reid, singer of the 1995's original. The 2k12-version reached the German single-chart. In 2014, DJ S.K.T released his remix of the track, which appeared on various house music compilation albums and broke the top 40 of the UK iTunes chart.

The song's electronic bass line has become a feature of, and inspiration for many house music songs, both throughout the '90s, as well as in the underground house music movement, particularly in the UK, which began to gain wider recognition in 2013, and has been since grown.

The original CD single release (catalogue BRCD 258/864491-2) credits John Reid as Jon Reed. The 1995 release New MK Mixes for '95 (UK catalogue FCD 257, international catalogue 854 275-2) credits John Reid as J. Reed.
