Wax Of The Week 10/10/2025

‘Wax Of The Week’ this week is ‘Alison Limerick – Where Love Lives (Frankie Knuckles Classic 12″ Mix)’. Originally released in 1990 and remixed to perfection in 1991, this track is a cornerstone of classic house. It’s defined by its soaring piano riff, soulful, powerful vocals from Limerick, and an arrangement that builds pure dancefloor euphoria. You’ve almost certainly heard its iconic piano intro recently, as the song is the centre piece of the current John Lewis Christmas advert. The ad beautifully captures the track’s nostalgic power, telling the story of a father who is gifted the vinyl by his son, transporting him back to his ’90s clubbing days. The campaign features both this original version and a new, slower cover by Labrinth, bridging a generational gap through music. A special and eternal mention must go to the man who elevated this track to legendary status: Frankie Knuckles. Known universally as the “Godfather of House Music,” Frankie’s work on this remix (along with David Morales) is a masterclass in musicality and emotion. His ability to build a track, to infuse it with soul, and to create a space of pure joy was unparalleled. We pay our deepest respects to his life and his monumental legacy, which continues to live on through records just like this one.
