    This to me is one of the better tracks. Relentless, restless on the move, dark, great classic house elements. Hard to classify: no its not Acid, no its not Deep House, its not Rave either or typical Club House. It is probably all of these sub-genres put together. DJ Pierre is a legend and this is the result of where he progressed by 1992. .... still very much enjoyable after all these years. Fully agree with Alain Patrick's comment below.

      Dope sample and great track. I don't know exactly when I first heard it but having a voice sample ("Rise from your grave.") from a video game that I know since forever (Altered Beast on Sega Mega Drive) makes me feel that I also know this track since forever but what I know for sure is that I once heard the Wake Da F___ Up Mix played by Laurent Garnier at Fuse club, in 2002, it was mindblowing and propelled his set to the next level!!

          While listening to this tune after more than a decade, it struck me how much it has the same sound that later Basic Channel had in its more house oriented tracks as Q 1.1 and Quadrant dub. A very groovy record!

            RIP Spank Spank! You might be gone, but you're tunes will live forever, especially this one! Viva Wild Pitch!

                "Rise From Your Grave" got the status of a standard underground House tunes from the early nineties and surely among the wickedest from Phuture. The composition belongs to Earl Spanky, Roy Davis Jr. and DJ Skull.

                The difference came out through DJ Pierre's Wild Pitch Mix - he made a special trip of insanity and excellence, with a weird-hypnotic atmosphere, and two incredible basslines, one of them sharp acid, oscillating during the version. "I just did the Wild Pitch Mix on this tune, where I took the vocals out, changed the basslines, the drums", said Pierre on an interview in Sao Paulo, Brazil, years later.

                The version result was far away from the usual house tracks of that time, and got a huge release on Strictly Rhythm, from New York. 'Rise From Your Grave (Wild Pitch Mix)' also came out on the 'This Is Strictly Rhythm vol. 2' major compilation. Later in the same year (1992), the Belgian label R & S Records released it on ‘In Order To Dance IV’ 5LP/2CD compilation. This is a timeless, avant-garde tune that definitely represented new perspectives to the house music universe.

                  Awesome dark Wild Pitch burner - 'this is cocaine speaking...' vox & Altered Beast arcade game sample - 'Rise From Your Grave. First hearded this at The Ministry of Sound (in the first year or two while the music policy was still good - it died with the demise of the'Open' nights IMO) & it blew my mind.

                    Deep dark nastiness from DJ Pierre, Roy Davis Jr and Spanky - my money's on the instrumental London Radio Edit. Released in 1992, but would still work in a set today.
