Ride on!

Staying on the Luvdup vibe, here's another track which is a big feature of several of their mixsets.

Just love everything about this track from 2006, just a beautiful blissful house groove.

"Ride the storm, life goes on"

Indeed it does, so sit just sit back and enjoy!

Roachford & M.Y.N.C. Project - Ride The Storm 

(Life Goes On Club Mix)

Sweet as sugar!

I've always been a huge fan of Luvdup for well over 30 years and still to this day enjoy listening to their shows and mixsets which always contain some fabulous tracks and quite often tracks which are less well known, but certainly of fantastic quality.

This is one such track which was played on one of their mixsets from 2022.

It's just a top notch, throbbing, groove of dance music bliss.

Totally Luvdup in style and quality.

Just lovely.

Enjoy.

Romain FX - Le Sucre d'Adam 

(Lauer Fun Remix)

Lots of Soul an' a bit more!

Love this track

It was originally created a few years ago back in 2019, but Lalou's remix is just stunning.

Such fantastic energy and atmosphere throughout, as it just builds and builds and the key changes are nothing short of epic.

I heard it on an &ME DJ set from a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love with it.

If you like grooving, vibing, progressive house you will love this.

Enjoy!

Acid Arab - Soulan 

(Laolu Remix)

We are ok!

 Another monster of a track and another one which was very unique.

Lots of versions of this, but I think the G&D remix gives it that extra edge.

Epic trance indeed!

"We are ok"

Perasma - Swing 2 Harmony 

(Gabriel & Dresden Club Mix)

Can we stay right here!

There are lots of artists and remixers who get posted over and over on the PCC blog and that isn't because there is a lack of quality out there, it's just that their tracks are just so amazingly good and deserve the recognition and promotion.

I've often waxed lyrical about the musical genius of James Wiltshire and here he creates another spellbinding track alongside his Freemason's buddy Russell Small.

This is a track of epic proportions with beautiful vocals by Levana Wolf.

It's the sort of track when one listen is never enough.

Enjoy!

Pegasus feat. Levana Wolf - Gorecki 

(Freemasons Mix)

Show me, tell me!

 Did the Trouser Enthusiast's ever create a remix which wasn't absolutely stunning, as I don't think I've ever heard one.

Their ability to turn an ordinary track into a bohemian, monster epic was totally unsurpassed.

This is another absolute monster, a full 11 minutes of heaven.

There is one word I'd use to describe TE remixes "spellbinding".

They also had great very descriptive remix titles to boot! Ha ha.

Enjoy!

Ofra Haza - Show Me 

(Trouser Enthusiasts Kaleidoscope Perversion Mix)

I'm so glad you found me!

Totally love Natasha - a supremely talented artist and one who I felt never quite got the recognition her incredible talent deserved.

She should have been bigger than the likes of Britney, Billy, Taylor.

Great to see that she is touring again.

Her vocals blended with dance version is a match made in heaven.

Another cracking remix by Johnny V.

Get on it!

Natasha Bedingfield - Love Like This 

(Johnny Vicious Club Vox)

You'll be blown away!

Totally love this track which I'd say is bordering on genius.

It is just so different, so original and yet so utterly engaging (and addictive).

A truly amazing remix by the Duke.

I wouldn't know really how to describe it as it is very different to pretty much anything which has been posted on the PCC blog.

All I'd suggest is that you give it a listen as you won't be disappointed.

It is truly captivating.

It's like a blend of Radiohead (on acid), blended with Junior Jack, blended with the Trouser Enthusiasts!

Enjoy!

Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down 

(Duke Dumont Remix)

Come on, come on!

 A cracking track from 1994 which didn't get as much club play as it should have.

The Cotton Club produced and remixed some quality tracks and this is certainly one of them.

I think I hear a little Billy Ray Martin vocal sample in here, mixed in with lots of thumping and throbbing energy.

It feels like the type of track which Jon Pleased would have played in that era.

Enjoy!

Move Inc. - Partners 

(The Cotton Club Brewery Mix)

Oh we remember!

Surprised I haven't posted this before now, an absolute stomper of a track.

MJ at his very best and E-Smoove doing what he does so brilliantly, that being creating fantastic piano laden house remixes.

This one is a belter.

I miss MJ, he was such a talent. 

Michael Jackson - Remember The Time 

(E-Smoove's Late Nite Mix)

Need a little more love!

 Corking track from 1994 which was a big Allister Whitehead favourite (if my memory serves me correctly).

Great vocals, great production and a top class remix by those boys from Love To Affinity.

Quality house music, just how we like it!

So many people lost and abandoned.

Melanie Williams - Not Enough 

(Love To Infinity's Classic Paradise Mix)

Sweet, sweet temptation!

Not posted much Old Skool recently, so here you go with a cracking little track and a relatively unknown track.

It has all the great Old Skool ingredients, great piano, catchy as hell with some nice cheesy vocals.

What's not to love.

One of those tracks guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Sweet, sweet temptation!

M.C. Fear - Temptation 

(New York Mix)

Feel those Indian vibes.

Staying on the Balaearic vibe.

Loved this track from the first time I heard it on the Pete Tong Essential Selection in 1994 (which I religiously tuned in to).

It is just such a funky and catchy piece of Balearic delight.

Still sounds great and just as unique 30 years on.

Enjoy!

Mathar - Indian Vibes

(Discovery Of India Mix) 

Check it out!

A delightful old house classic from 1989.

Very chilled and Balearic in essence, it contains some lush piano and is such a sensational track.

One you never tire of hearing.

Sublime and no surprise to know this is another Dave Lee/Joey Negro production which just adds to his legend status and proof of longevity.

Check it out!

Vibe on!

Masters Of The Universe - Space Talk 

(Hyper Spaced Mix)

And the word is flow!

This is a real banger from 1994.

Think Higher State of Consciousness, but much less cheesy and you are somewhere close.

Let me see your hands!

Marine Boy - Fluid 

(108 Grand Straight Mix)

I can't keep from falling in love!

 Right up there with Madonna's finest club tracks courtesy of a fantastic remix by Mr Morales.

This was also a big Hacienda track and I have very fond memories of grooving away on the dancefloor when this was dropped by Mr Park, way back in 1992.

I can't keep from falling in love!

Pure class!

Madonna - Deeper And Deeper 

(David's Classic 12'' Mix)

Life is just one happy song!

Always love a piece of quality classic house music.

This is a great track from 1992 from the fantastic Strictly Rhythm label.

This track just oozes class from start to finish.

Life is just one happy song!

Joyful.

Ira Levi - Free Your Mind 

(Club Vocal Mix)

Disco heaven!

A fantastic disco track from 1977.

Funky, deep and very endearing.

It contains some great instruments and has a real raw but compelling atmosphere.

Such an original and unique track, which still sounds amazing.

Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This

Always going Above & Beyond!

 Another superb track from A&B which just epitomises their style and quality.

This one is from 2002 and features the wonderful vocal talents of Kate Cameron.

As they'd say in the trance world - a complete banger!

Above & Beyond - Far From In Love

(Original Mix)

Take it away Dina!

I always thought Dina was a fantastic vocalist and although she had a certain degree of success, I always thought her talent deserved better.

That said, this is her fifth appearance on the PCC blog, so at least we rate her highly.

This is a great classic house track from 1993, great vocals, fantastic piano and a high quality remix as we'd expect from Phil Kelsey.

Pure class!

Dina Carroll - Falling 

(Phil Kelsey Remix)

This is "the" version!

Although I posted the original mix (and a few other good remixes) of this track as long back as 2009.

This is without a shadow of a doubt the best mix.

It's pretty similar to the Original Mix for the first part of the track, but then it takes you to another level when the piano kicks in again at 4 mins 51 secs.

The next few minutes are just pure delicious piano heaven.

I first became aware of this version through the epic Chris & James Essential Mix in 1994, which even 30 years on is still my favourite DJ mix set of all time.

Full respect to the legend that is Fabi Paras for creating the original of this track, boy that man produced and remixed some amazing tracks.

Finally, also respect to Mr Healy, on one of his finest studio moments!

Enjoy!

Outrage - Tall 'N' Handsome 

(Short 'N' Stumpy Mix)

At first I was afraid, I was petrified!

Possibly one of the most well know (and most overplayed) dance tracks, but that shouldn't detract from it's brilliance as it is truly a PCC.

Especially as it is is almost 50 years old and was originally released in 1978.

This is a great remix by Phil Kelsey from 1993 who pays great respect to the original vibe of the track, but just it that extra bit of dancefloor punch.

It's still a favourite track of mine and one I always enjoy hearing.

As soon as you hear "At first I was afraid, I was petrified", you're in heaven!

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive 

(Phil Kelsey Classic 12" Mix)

Under pressure, too much in my head!

A huge fave of mine from 1991 that halcyon year of piano classics.

This track has it all, beautiful lush vocals, some great lyrics and of course that stomping piano.

They don't make them like this anymore.

Pure Class - just want we want on the Pure Club Classics blog and this is certainly the epitome of that ethos.

Enjoy - I'm confident you will!

N.B. This was produced by Nick Hussey, although it often appears under the DJ Roy Silver moniker.

E-Motion feat. Julie McDermott - Promised Land 

(Original Mix) 

Delightful!

A pretty spectacular track from 2004.

Oakey sprinkles his usual magic dust.

The intro is just sublime with the piano and then the guitar, which then both kick in again mid way through.

Pure class!

Carlos Vives - Como Tu 

(Paul Oakenfold More Vocal)

We had such a fine time together!

One of my all time favourite vocalists, just such a fantastic singer.

Her album "And Still I Rise" is one of my all time favourites and I spent many a Sunday chilling out to it in the 90's after a long clubbing session the night before.

Alison is of course most known for the fabulous "Where Love Lives" which although a bonafide club classic, it has been so overplayed that it has now lost some of it's original fizz.

This is a great track which fully emphasises Alison's vocal power accompanied by a great remix from the Oakey/Osborne - Perfecto duo.

We had such a fine time together!

A top notch PCC!

Alison Limerick - Come Back (For Real Love) 

(Perfecto Mix)

One of the all time greatest!

One of the greatest tracks ever produced.

I remember when I was first introduced to it I just played it over and over again as I was just so blown away by it.

Donna (and Giorgio Moroder) were probably more well known for the ground breaking "I Feel Love", but as good as that was this is in my opinion was the real pièce de résistance.

The fact that the track is nearly 18 minutes long, but never at any point do you want it to finish.

It is just an epic, epic monstrous track.

A big thanks to my good friend Ed from over the pond for introducing it to me.

This one's for you Ed!

Donna Summer - MacArthur Park Suite 

(Original Extended Version)

We ain't got no hope!

Another fantastic reworking of a disco classic by the highly prolific Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro).

Dave's work is always amazing, always keeping the essence of the original but just updating and tweaking things to give it a more modern feel, yet keeping enough authenticity from the original to create a new masterpiece.

He is most certainly one of the very best disco/house remixers.

This is a fabulous track with some great lyrics, great vocals and just such a fabulous disco-tastic rhythm, not to mention real instruments.

Disco music perfection.

Eddie Kendricks - Going Up In Smoke 

(Dave Lee fka Joey Negro Big Smoke Mix)

Going back to your (Soul) Roots!

This is hot off the press.

This is a superb reworking of a superb original by "Edward's World" which was a major track for us back in 1994 and was posted on the PCC blog as far back as 2012 (check it out).

It is of course piano-licious from start to finish and this reworking is exactly the same.

Joe Ventura is most certainly one of the best producers/remixers about at the moment and without question "Big Speaker Music" is currently the best label out there.

Pretty much everything they put out is top notch, so check out their stuff.

Hope you enjoy the track, it's a belter and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Joe Ventura - Soul Roots 

(2024 Extended ReSpray)

Feel the inside!

Another amazing track from &ME (one of the Keinemusik guru's) and a mainstay of many of their great sets.

It's just a luscious piece of chilled laid back deep house.

The whole vibe and atmosphere of the track is electric and the vocals are just delightful.

When the "French Kiss" section kicks in it reaches heavenly status.

Feel the inside!

Simply gorgeous!

Röyksopp & Alison Goldfrapp - Impossible 

(&ME Remix) 

Come on, come on in!

Before his TV celebrity and fame, RuPaul had a few pretty decent house tracks.

This was probably the pick of them (although Supermodel was great also) courtesy of a great remix from Eric Kupper which was probably the one most played in clubs.

It sounds a bit dated now, but it always went down well on the dancefloor back in 1993.

RuPaul - House Of Love 

(Eric Kupper 12" Mix)

Because I've nothing else here, for you!

Get your Balearic boots on, this heavenly.

Possibly the slowest track I've ever posted on the PCC blog in view of bpms.

However, the lack in speed is made up by the sheer quality of the track.

Ok, probably not one to drop at the peak of a set, but what about an end of the night track?

Without doubt the best track Spandau ever produced - it always amazes me that it wasn't a bigger hit.

The piano, the vocals, the sax, the harmonies and oh that chorus.

Heavenly!

Enjoy!

Spandau Ballet - I'll Fly For You 

(Extended 80s Multitrack Version) (BodyAlive Remix)

Talking 'bout creation!

I always though Stereo MC's were a bit overhyped at the time.

However, this is a quality remix by JR which creates a top notch house track.

Always been a big fan of JR and he has produced some fantastic tracks and remixes over the years.

A DJ that was there from the start and deserves legend status.

This remix takes all the good bits from the track and houses them up big style.

Just how we like 'em!

Stereo MC's ‎- Creation 

(Justin Robertson Vocal)

Yeah come on!

An old skool classic which I used to loove!

A top track with loads of great little vocal samples and of course some delectable piano.

One of this tracks which just wasn't played enough and hence is IMHO always a bit underrated.

I think it's tops!

"Yeah come on"

The Ya Ya's - Loove 

(Piano House Mix)

Here comes the sun!

 Another track which I can't quite believe I've not posted before.

This was a real classic and the mainstay of many of Oakey's great trance sets back in 1995.

The fact that is still sounds amazing nearly 30 years on is just testimony to it's quality.

There are other remixes of this track,but none caompare with the Oakey/Osbourne classic.

Totally epic!

Virus - Sun 

(Oakenfold/Osborne Mix)

Are you sirius?

 I always loved trance and those halcyon years of 1994 to 2000 were just amazing with some many epic tracks and fantastic producers.

I probably don't post enough trance on the PCC blog, but don't worry I've got literally hundreds cued up to post.

This one was a belter courtesy of an excellent remix by that man Tiesto.

Pure quality trance music from 1999

Subtle By Design - Sirius 

(DJ Tiesto Remix) 

I'm in a spin!

Can't quite believe that I've not posted this before.

It's one of those tracks which I could have sowrn has already been posted.

It's a huge fave of mine, I just love the feel of it and the vocals are just exquisite.

There are non-vocal versions under the title "77 Strings", but that in my opinion is denying you the glory of these amazing vocals and lyrics which are the real essence of this track.

An absolute banger and a huge track for me.

Enjoy!

Kurtis Mantronik Presents Chamonix - How Did You Know

Chubby and chunky!

Used to love this track, it was one of those that used to get played all the time for weeks on end in the clubs back in 1993.

Great little groove with loads of squelchy acid and some sublime piano.

A track that still sounds great today.

Quality house music, just how we like it.

Chubby Chunks - Testament One

No need to be quiet - man!

Absolute banger of a track from 1998.

Man With No Name produced some fine tracks and equally fine remixes.

This is a quality slice of trance heaven.

An all encompassing track which gives you every thing you need.

Get on it!

Quietman - The Sleeper 

(Man With No Name Remix)

Trance heaven!

The Space Brothers and Lange two of the very best trance producers in that golden era of trance in the late 90's.

This is another perfect example of classic trance which has everything which made for such a fantastic and exciting scene.

Gorgeous vocals, thumping trance beats and rhythms, what can I say pure - Heaven!

The Space Brothers - Heaven Will Come 

(Lange Vocal Mix )

Feel there's no escape!

I've been playing this a lot recently also.

Much more on the dance tip, maybe a tad commercial, but very very nice.

Great build up, some great vocals and some excellent piano.

"Torn between love and hate?"

What's not to like?

Daddy Squad - A Habit I Can't Break 

(Reznik & Mikesh Remix)

You bought me some flowers.....

Heard this for the first time the other day and have hardly stopped playing it since.

Totally Balearic but absolutely fantastic.

Very raw and earthy with a great funky little vibe, wonderful lyrics and superb vocals.

I think Lola will be a big star (probably already is).

I'd say a cross between Billy Eilish and Adele?

Superb track which really kicks when the guitars and drums come in.

Top notch!

Get on it!

Lola Young - Conceited 

Can you control your pleasure?

One of the oldest house tracks out there dating back to 1986, but still sounding fabulous.

Not quite as catchy as "Give Me Back The Love" but still pretty tasty all the same.

Some great piano throughout and just a delicious raw house vibe, which almost 40 years later still sounds amazing.

Another timeless classic.

Get on it!

On The House - Pleasure Control 

(Long Version)

Dance to the soothing rhymes!

Love this little old skool belter from 1992.

A real mix of different vibes and samples, but some delicious piano.

A really great and very underplayed, forgotten gem.

Get on it!

Dance to the soothing rhymes!

Temple of Delights & Progression Session 

- Untitled

Together!

This one certainly escaped me the first time around in 2002. 

However, that doesn't surprise me, as I'd lost interest in dance music after the millennium as it just becoming notoriously bland.

Only heard this recently and grew an instant liking to it.

A tad on the commercial side, but very nice all the same.

Some stonking piano and some nice (if rather cheesey) vocals.

Great track - "Let's get together now!"

Chicco Secci & Robbie Rivera - Let's Get Together

(Main Club Mix)

Get down!

The original from 1992 was great, but this remix is just off the scale.

Love the work Joe Ventura does without a doubt one of the best remixers out there at the current moment.

This remix respects the original superbly, but just some extra piano fizz.

Just lovely, "Get Down" indeed!

Enjoy!

Todd Terry presents the Gypsymen - Hear The Music 

(Joe Ventura Remix)

Be good to me!

A straight up house banger from 1995.

Lots of great uplifting piano as typical of Greed's remix work.

Jeanie has some powerful vocals and lets fly.

Nice.

Jeanie Tracy - Do The Right Thing 

(Greed's Euphorik Club Mix)

Sweet indeed!

A beautiful slice of Balearic heaven.

Just such a feel good song, perfect for a hot summer's day.

Roll on the sunshine.

Great lyrics, great harmonies and such a cool and chilled vibe.

Lovely!

James Yuill – This Sweet Love 

(Prins Thomas Sneaky Edit)

DJ's the man we love the most!

Love this track, quality bit of Balearic groove/Indie dance.

Of course it is inspired by the Stones fantastic original.

The chorus and piano on this is heavenly.

Most definitely a hidden gem and a much underplayed classic.

DJ's the man we love the most!

Pure class!

J.B.C. - We Love You 

(The Great Awakening)

Keep those fires - Hot!

A quality groover from 1994.

Some tidy work by Jon Da Silva.

This one was always a winner on the dancefloor.

Enjoy!

Ideal - Hot

Follow the footprints!

I believe these guys have a mention on the site already with "Right Here, Right Now". personally this is my favourite track from Disco Citizens. Originally released in 1996, it got the revamp in 1997 and this remix is fantastic.

A lot of the music i have posted here so far has featured from 1995 to 1997 and probably one of my favourite periods in dance music. every week a track seemed to come out better than the week before!

Anyway Enjoy. leave a comment let me know what you think!

Disco Citizens - Footprint 

(Sonic Original)
