Bring out the sunshine!

Superb new track from Wolfgang Valbrun and an equally splendid remix by Sophie.

The track is a real hands in the air piano-tastic affair.

I'm sure it will be a big hit in the clubs and especially in Ibiza.

Quite mainstream, but still very tasty.

Bring out the sunshine!

Wolfgang Valbrun - Sun Don't Shine 

(Sophie Lloyd Remix)

Large as life!

Fantastic remix of one of the greatest house anthems of all time.

Tom's remix work is always spot on, respecting the original but creating a new track which has it's own vibe and worth.

I'd almost consider the original Rhythim is Rhythim version as being untouchable, but this helps to bring an all time classic to a new audience.

Job done well.

Enjoy!

Derrick May - Strings of Life 

(Tom Middleton Remodel)

All you have to say....

I loved Bas-Noir their house tracks were always just pure quality.

Proper house music with great vocals, great lyrics and superb house productions laden with lots of great piano.

Simply classic house music you could dance to all night.

This is just another of many great tracks which they made.

From 1992 but still sound amazing, fantastic remix by the legend that is Tony Humphries.

Class in a glass!

Bas Noir ‎– Shoo-B-Doo 

(Club Remix)

Leaving me here on my own!

Bananarama were great and one of the original girl bands. 

They were huge in the early 80's and although very commercial with a clever remix they also had a great dance vibe.

There are quite a few of their tracks already posted on the blog.

This one is an epic reworking by DJDiscoCat - I always love his remix work, extending classic tracks, utilising the track "best bits" and relayering them to make them sound even better.

Just spot on!

Bananarama ~ Cruel Summer 

(Disco Purrfection Version)

Join in the chant!

 I've always had a penchant for tracks with chanting in, in that they quite often bring another edge.

This is a throbbing piece of modern atmospheric trance which really hits some high spots and the chanting is just stops.

The drops in this are massive and I'd bet these go down a storm in clubs.

A really well produced track and a fine piece of top notch modern day trance music.

Argy & Goom Gum - Pantheon 

(Extended Mix)

Don't leave me behind!

This brings back some good memories from 1992.

By this stage the rave scene was very clearer splitting into the more dressed up club vibe of the Hac, Back To Basics, Renaissance, Venus etc vs the Hardcore scene and my foot was truly in the Hac, B2B camp.

The whole mask and glow sticks thing was never my bag.

That said there were still lots of great tracks from that rave/hardcore side which although never played at the nation's more glam clubs were still great tracks.

This being one of them.

This one steals heavily from Nitro Deluxe's - Let's Get Brutal - a huge house classic which was posted many years ago on the PCC blog.

Still a great track though - enjoy!

Altern 8 - Brutal 8 E

I don't want to lose your love!

 This one has been out quite a few years but it always sounds great.

Very Disco-tastic as you'd expect from PDM.

It has the hugely addictive rhythm and vibe of all PDM's fantastic production work.

Lots of familiar samples and vocal snippets, but all in all just a great catchy and funky dance track.

Enjoy!

Purple Disco Machine - Emotion

There's nowhere left to hide!

An amazing piece of production capturing two outstanding talents who have been consistently leading the way in their respective sub-sectors for the last 30 years.

I've always been a huge The Cure fan, they have always created music which is unique, trailblazing and despite not being aimed at the dancefloor has always had great remix-ability.

Bring in the studio and dance music talents of Oakey and you have a true masterpiece.

The title is quite right this is hugely cinematic and would be a great score for an emotional movie scene.

The piano drop in this track is heavenly!

This track would be a great set opener.

Class is permanent!

The Cure — Can Never Say Goodbye 

(Paul Oakenfold ‘Cinematic’ Remix)

Everyone is crazy!

Staying on the French theme and something much more current and underground, this is tasty.

Throbbing, vibing, pulsating from the opening bars this is fierce and really hits deep.

The whole track has a great atmposhere about it and rolls really well.

The vocals are also really great and nicely complement a great track.

Enjoy!

Solomun featuring Jain - Tout Le Monde Est Fou 

(Club Version) 

You won't be disappointed!

The PCC Blog has always been very eclectic in it's musical tastes and genres, in the true Ibizian spirit of Balearic that being just playing/posting tracks which are just sensational pieces of music with a dancefloor appeal.

They can be fast, slow, uptempo, downtempo, but they have to be good and something which moves me and creates emotion and true aural pleasure.

Now and again this involves tracks which might be slightly commercial, slightly cheesy or just very different.

This is one such track which is certainly different (and a tad cheesy) but equally very good and very endearing.

Some lovely French vocals, a Italo disco euro beat some lovely subtle piano and just a great summer feel.

It really is a very nice and very engrossing piece of music.

Enjoy!

I've also added a Thunderpuss remix which although slightly more underground, doesn't quite match the great Moreno J remix.

Mylène Farmer - Désenchantée 

(Moreno J Remix)

Mylène Farmer - Désenchantée 

(Thunderpuss Club Anthem)

I'll keep you in safety, forever protect you!

Great new remix of an old classic track.

Brings extra life with an injection of piano and a really catchy vibe.

Better than the original version for me, which I always found a little slow.

This ups the tempo and adds that little extra bit of dancefloor appeal.

I'll keep you in safety, forever protect you!

Kosheen - Hide U 

(Laura Pradelska Edit)

You know I'll be good to you!

Love this, brand new and very exciting.

Vocal samples from the old Princess track and with lots of booming piano.

A real hands in the air piano screamer.

Very old skool in feel and I'm sure will be a big mover and shaker on the dancefloors of the nations finer clubs.

You know I'll be good to you!

 Juliet Thurbz - Number One

(Extended Mix)

Sunshine in my eyes!

Totally love this remix, absolutely quality piece of studio twiddling by Greg Wilson.

The piano breakdown is to die for and very reminiscent of his fabulous remix of The Mock Turtles - Can You Dig It.

There's nothing better than a great piano breakdown and this certainly makes the track erupt.

The euphoria these sort of tracks created in clubs was like gold and caused much dancefloor delirium.

I only wanna good time, time to free my mind!

Sunshine in my eyes!

Confidence Man - Out The Window 

(Greg Wilson & Ché Wilson Mix)

Because you're my....

Staying on the classy house vibe, here's another one which is brought to full life thanks to a classy remix by K-Klass who very rarely missed the target with their remix work.

This has great vocals, a great vibe and of course K-Klass's obligatory avalanche of piano.

Tracks like this were always so great to dance to in the clubs.

Quality house music!

Camboso feat. Jocelyn Brown - Love Alibi 

(K-Klass Club Mix)

Keep on movin'!

Ok, after a sequence of new tracks we are going back to the old skool and here's a belter from 1996.

Nush were always on it back in those days whether it was their own productions or the many remixes they did.

The usually banged in loads of piano and pretty much always created a real banger as a result.

This is a fine example, an average house track transform with some really choice piano which turns it into a true PCC.

Keep on movin'!

It won't take long!

Boris Dlugosch Presents Booom! - Keep Pushin' 

(Nush Club Mix)

Flaw-less!

A fantastic piece of classy deep house music.

Very epic in it's feel and luxurious in it's production, creating a smooth and engrossing piece of mesmeric house music.

Great vocals, subtle piano and great key changes top it off.

Tasty indeed!

Wolfgang Valbrun - Flawed by Design 

(Brian Kage Remix)

Go with the flo!

Liking this one, which is an almost nonchalant carefree bit of laid back vocal house.

It has a very distinct and cool vibe, but is catchy and grooves at the same time.

It's sort of like modern day Hip-House.

They know!

Jimpster & Oveous - Flo

Feel the new beat!

Another track which I've been playing a lot recently.

It's great to hear that there's so much good dance music being made if you search hard enough.

However, we remain reliant on the likes of the legends like Graeme Park to keep pulling out these gems that are deeply hidden in the huge swathes of dross.

This is very Balearic in feel, just floating along but also engaging, it slowly builds and then delivers some great piano, then continues to increase in tempo until it really starts to rock.

Very well produced and a fine piece of modern house music.

Helder Russo - New Beat 

(Orlando Voorn Deep Mix) 

No one else compares!

Loving this, which has a classic Electro House vibe, hence feels very 1987 as opposed to 2025.

It's also got some great vocals and some lovely touches of piano.

It's just like old skool house music like we used to know it.

Very tasty.

Reaching for your love!

Nomi Ruiz & Eli Escobar - Full Fantasy 

(Extended DJ Mix) 

Still got the love!

Now there's been so many different versions of this track, that it's got a little tedious, but here is a new version which just hits the spot.

Very Keinemusik-esque in it's vibe and Afro House style with super subtle piano chords and that lovely chilled dance vibe.

Another track which will be big this summer.

Enjoy!

Soweto Gospel Choir x Groove Terminator - You Got The Love 

(Latroit Remix)

It's been so long since we've been together yeah!

A delicious piece of house music which will be massive this summer.

You have been warned.

A mix of lovely chilled grooves, soothing vocals and beautiful violin strings.

Very endearing indeed!

It's been so long since we've been together yeah.

Art Of Tones - Gold

To the Max-i

Loving this, brand new and very good.

Throbbing, vibing, building, slowly, big synths, building further and then a huge drop.

A fine bit of new dance music.

Far too short at under 3 mins, but what there is, is high quality.

Enjoy!

Maxi Meraki - What You Do To Me

Italian is back!

Here we go with a sequence of posts which slightly break the usual PCC tradition of old classics from the past. These will all be some of best new tracks currently rocking the dancefloors of the UK's most underground and select dance venues (and also the select Ibiza clubs).

All have been recently championed on Graeme Park's fantastic radio show and hence come with the endorsement of one of dance music's finest DJs.

Kicking off with a quality piano-tastic track from a genre now called New Italian Disco.

This one has a great old/new vibe and charm about it with some nice Italian vocals and some delightful piano. The Endless Night!

Very tasty!

Dov'e Liana - La Notte Infinita

I'm in control!

Quality house track with some great remix work by Dimitri. 

The original dates back to 1979 and hence is nearly 50 years old.

Great lyrics, great vocals and some lovely instruments, especially the violins in this one, which you bring it to life.

"We've got to hit it off, before we can think about getting it on!"

Millie Jackson - We Got To Hit It Off 

(Dimitri From Paris Liberated Women Mix)

Jazzin' it up!

Came across this which is very unique and very lovely.

I have my wonderful American friend Ed to thank for enlightening me to the world of Jazz and this is a really great modern rendition with a club vibe.

Beautiful piano chords which are so crisp and the obligatory saxophone,

The opening piano chords are very similar to Al Stewart's - Year of the Cat.

Hope you enjoy!

Bellaire - Some Jazz To Make Love On

A true masterpiece!

I've posted lots of different mash ups of this utilising the astounding Charvoni vocals, but not the actual track.

There are lots of remixes of this by some acclaimed remixers like Sunday Club, Phil Kelsey, Playboys, but nothing tops this original BiR production.

It is such an amazing and powerful track.

Charvoni's vocals are just fantastic and the rest is the stunning BiR production with Dave providing the club feel and Steve the production genius.

31 years on and this still sounds wonderful and much better than any of the tracks produced today.

It's amazing that 30 years of technology progress and the producers and creators of music today can't touch the genius of BiR.

Brothers In Rhythm Present Charvoni ‎- Forever And A Day 

(Original Club Mix)

Don't you wanna go?

A great track from 1993 and one I always loved.

I've posted the E-Smoove remix of this on the blog many years ago, but thought it was worth posting this version also as it is a great track.

Kim English R.I.P. had a fantastic vocal and this track fully showcases this.

Chuck in some great piano and you have a house classic which still sounds great.

Enjoy!

Kim English - I Know A Place 

(MDZ X-Tended Klub Mix)

I just need someone I can touch!

 Always a match made in heaven Jamie's exquisite vocals and the sublime remixing skills of E-Smoove.

This creates a true house classic from 1992, a track which just makes you feel good.

Quality house music, you just can't beat it!

Jamie Principle - Hot Body 

(E-Smoove's Groovy Mix)

Kiss me all over!

A great old skool track from 1991.

Possibly sounds a bit dated now, but still retains a nice little nostalgic feel.

Lots of piano as you'd expect from an Italo House track from that era.

Kiss me - that's it!

Emily Heyl - Kiss My Piano 

(Extended Vocal Remix)

If you see him, tell him....

A piece of class from the legend that is Mr Park.

A superb remix of a classic track.

This was a real Hacienda banger back in 1992.

Great vocals by Eleanore with those classic lyrics, but it's Parky's remix which wins the day splattered with lots of piano and funky sax.

Classy!

Eleanore Mills - Mr. Right 

(The Superb Parkside Mix)

Is it really that bad?

 I like a lot of Yotto's work and this is just quality.

Good to hear modern day tracks stirring some of the emotions of music from the halcyon era.

A pretty solid track with some excellent vocals from Elderbrook and some great remix work by Yotto.

Elderbrook - Tied To You 

(Yotto Remix)

A bit of a monster!

Totally forgot about this one.

An absolute corker from 1995.

Yet another piece of pure class from D.O.P. who were one of the great progressive house trailblazers.

This track was massive in clubs an absolute banger which still sounds great today.

Get on it!

D.O.P. featuring Lorna Marshall - Manifest Your Love 

(Tooley St. Dub)

See me, feel me, hear me, love me, touch me!

 I've already posted the original version of this, the one we knew from the early days.

This is a superb trance version from 1999 by Lange one of the great trance music producers and remixers.

This really is a great remix, as are all Lange productions.

I drift along and dream of a time long ago, and I see a world that people will never know

See me, feel me, hear me, love me, touch me!

Yes indeed!

Friends Of Matthew - Out There 

(Lange Remix)

I bet you think this song is about you?

This has always been one of my favourite tracks as it is just so perfect on so many levels.

Fantastic vocals by the uber talented Carly, really great lyrics famously about Warren Beatty (and others), beautiful piano and guitar, then to top it all off Mick Jagger on backing vocals.

Ok, probably not the most clubby track, but for sure a Balearic classic.

Released in 1972 it's amazing to think this is now 53 years old.

Great remix by DJ Disco Cat as always.

Carly Simon ~ You're So Vain 

(Extended Meow Mix)

On a more clubbier vibe, there is a very good reworking by Chimira courtesy of yet another fine remix by 7th Heaven from 2021.

This version retains a lot of the great aspects of the original, but adds that little bit of club fizz.

The piano breakdowns are especially good.

Get on it!

Chimira - You're So Vain 

(7th Heaven Club Mix)

All my life, I've been waiting for something like this!

I just love PDM productions and remixes they are just always so on point.

I'd go as far as to say he is my favourite producer/remixer of current times.

Pretty much every track he touches is pure gold.

There are loads on the blog already and many more to come.

This is just yet another pure PDM fantastic house/disco groove which just pulls you in and encapsulates you.

It may not be quite underground enough for some of the purists, but I've always loved a slightly commercial edge and think PDM tracks always stay on the right (underground) side of the over/underground divide.

All my life, I've been waiting for something like this!

Get on it and enjoy!

Purple Disco Machine & The Magician - All My Life 

(Extended Mix)

Lots of happy faces from different places!

Love this and loved the whole Italo Disco vibe.

It was way before my time, but I bet it was a very exciting time in clubs when these tracks were dropped as they were just so mesmerising and great to dance to.

This one dates back to 1983 but still sounds amazing 40 odd years on.

Lots of happy faces from different places!

Style is temporary, class is forever!

Fun Fun - Happy Station 

(Original 12'' Mix)

Sample-tastic!

A bit of a hidden gem from 1991 which deserved more airplay.

Lots of sampling from many classic tracks but this shouldn't detract from it's appeal.

It's like a mega mix mash up of so many tracks yet still has a real bit of uniqueness about it.

Just another old skool beauty that still sounds great 35 years later.

G.P.A. - I'm Gonna Win 

(Club Version)

It's going to be alright!

 This is just so good on so many levels.

Firstly a great re-working by Messrs Farley and Heller under their Fire Island guise.

Then there is those fantastic vocals by the legendary Loleatta.

The track in itself is a great cover of a very good Style Council track from 1985.

To top it all off, it's had a great refresh and resprinkle by HiFi Sean, which adds extra life and energy.

Quality co-labs going on all over the place on this.

Fire Island Feat. Loleatta Holloway - Shout To The Top 

(Hifi Sean Mix)

Baby this time I know!

 Love this track, just another example of house music perfection.

Amazing production, fantastic remix work by DL/JN and oh those vocals by Kathy and the Sisters are just delightful.

A really fantastic house track which suits every mood.

Pure class!

Sister Sledge ft. Kathy Sledge - You Fooled Around 

(Dave Lee fka Joey Negro Fooled Around With Mix)

You make the world....

Surprised this hasn't been posted before, a real old skool banger from 1992.

Some great piano and a that quality hands in the air old skool vibe.

Some pretty powerful female vocals which sound great.

Another corker of a track.

Solo - So Beautiful 

(Phantasia Remix)

I believe in you and me!

 Not quite as epic as Love So Strong or As Always, but pretty tasty all the same.

Some great piano throughout and a strong vibe, but just never quite reaches the peaks for me.

Quality all the same just not quite epic.

I believe in you and me!

Secret Life - She Holds the Key 

(Play Boys Club Mix)

Let's all stand up!

Decent little re-working using some very familiar samples.

Any track that uses the Raul Orellana - The Real Wild House sample has to be a winner in my book.

This uses it to good effect and creates a really good vibe then bringing in the great vocals.

A little belter of a track!

Skinnee - Feel Free 

(Club Mix)

Gotta to get funky!

A quality old skool track which is actually from 2015 and not 1991 (as you'd think).

It's classic Italo Piano House just like all those we loved back in 1991.

They should make more tracks like this nowadays as you just can't beat that Italo Piano House sound.

Love the Hip House rap as well.

Vibe on!

Baccacha - Party To Party 

(Club Mix)

I need a new...

 Not heard this for a while, then I heard it on Parky's excellent radio show and it just sounded so great.

A real house classic from 1998.

The production by D-Influence is first class, the lyrics are great and of course the sumptuous Ultra Naté vocals are heavenly.

Just pure class!.

Ultra Naté - New Kind Of Medicine 

(Original Extended Vocal Mix)

We keep our love hidden!

One of many fantastic remixes that DFP did on Chic tracks.

This just puts a smile on one's face.

A laid back lush intro and then kicks in the classic Chic guitar riffs and vibes, with some superb vocals.

A really great track with a superb remix.

My love is forbidden, we keep our love hidden!

Enjoy!

Chic - My Forbidden Lover

(Dimitri From Paris Remix)

Ahead of time?

Possibly on the verge of being a tad too commercial but a banger all the same.

Plenty of quality in here and a track which really shook the dancefloor.

It contains all the classic trance ingredients and fizzes, builds, slows, builds again.

I really love the slow synth stabs in this, real nice.

Blank & Jones - Beyond Time 

(Club Mix)

Don't go!

Anyone from my era will well remember the awful Saturday night TV fodder we all used to tune in to if we ever weren't going out called The Hitman and Her - presented by (the hot) Michaela Strachan and the (not so hot) Pete Waterman.

It ran from 1988 to 1992 and was both tragic and addictive at the same time.

It featured night life in the Shazzy clubs across the country (full of piss heads), then it used to show the odd dance/rave club night which was hilarious as Pete just couldn't get his head around the scene.

Anyway this was the theme tune from the show, which is pretty commercial in itself, but quite catchy and brought back some funny memories from a great era.

Enjoy!

Timerider - Cocoon 

(Dance Version)

It's the reason that I breathe!

My love for Diana is eternal and PDM is not too far behind.

Diana's voice is just so unique, pure and soothing - simply gorgeous.

Here PDM retains the essence of those great vocals and just disco-ifies it up, as he does.

Delightful!

Diana Ross - I Still Believe 

(Purple Disco Machine Remix Extended)

Pump this, pump this, pump this party!

Cracking track from 1994 which always went down well and was full of life.

No doubt named after the good old amyl nitrate aka Liquid Gold which was an omnipresent feature on every club dancefloor back then.

Love the key changes and tempo increases 5 mins in which just adds to the appeal.

Pump this, pump this, pump this party!

Cracking little track!

Poppers - Poppers 

(Original Mix)

Into cruise control!

 So much going on in this track, you can't help but love it.

Most notable sample is Orbital's - Chime, but there is lots of other sample pilfering going on.

Great work as always by Frankie Bones.

Radical Rhythms - Put Your Body In Cruise Control
