In a thrilling fusion of classic and contemporary, Major League DJz breathe new life into the iconic house anthem ‘Most Precious Love.’ Originally produced, written, and recorded by the legendary American duo Blaze, and featuring the powerful vocals of Barbara Tucker alongside the musical collective U.D.A.U.F.L. (Underground Dance Artists United For Life), this track has been a dance floor staple since its release in 2004.
First released by the iconic NYC house label King Street Sounds, ‘Most Precious Love’ quickly soared to the top of the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in June 2005, becoming Tucker’s sixth number-one hit. The track also made waves in the UK, where it initially peaked at #44 on the Official Charts in 2005, before a 2006 remix by the Freemasons catapulted it to the top spot. Now, as the track reaches its 20th anniversary, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of house music and its ability to evolve across generations
Now, Major League DJz have taken on the challenge of reinterpreting this beloved classic, infusing it with their signature Amapiano sound. The South African DJ duo has skillfully woven deep basslines, rhythmic percussions, and subtle piano melodies into the original, creating a remix that’s both infectious and deeply emotive. Their fresh take on ‘Most Precious Love’ not only pays homage to the timeless essence of Blaze’s original but also bridges the gap between house music and the vibrant Amapiano scene, introducing the track to a new generation of listeners.
This remix arrives at a pivotal moment for the Amapiano genre, which is itself celebrating a decade of revolutionizing the global music scene. As one of South Africa’s most influential and rapidly growing musical movements, Amapiano has become synonymous with innovation, cultural expression, and a unifying sound that resonates worldwide. Major League DJz, at the forefront of this movement, continue to push boundaries with their reinterpretations, blending the soulful roots of house music with the distinctive energy of Amapiano
This release marks the third single from the Amapiano to Ibiza EP, following the successful drops of Rosey Gold’s rendition of “The Dominator” and DBN Gogo’s “Touched the Sky.” The EP continues to showcase the duo’s unique ability to blend Amapiano with global dance music, creating a sound that resonates on dance floors from Johannesburg to Ibiza.
Major League DJz shared their excitement about the project: “We’ve always admired the soulful energy of ‘Most Precious Love.’ It’s a track that resonates with so many people across the world. Bringing our Amapiano flavor to this classic was a dream come true for us, and we hope it connects with fans old and new.”
With this remix, Major League DJz continue to push the boundaries of their sound, blending genres and cultures to create music that’s both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition. ‘Most Precious Love’ is set to become a staple on dance floors once again, this time with an Amapiano twist that’s sure to captivate audiences worldwide
