It's a long, long road!

It's been a while since I posted a Steve Anderson remix, probably as most of them have previously been posted.

This is another corker, probably not OMD's strongest track, but Steve works his magic.

It a catchy track with delightful piano courtesy of Mr Anderson.

Get on it!

OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) 

(Steve Anderson 12'')

There's something inside you!

Totally love this very good remix.

There are so many versions of this track and I'd previously posted the epic London Grammar/Freemasons version.

This one is just lovely, it keeps all the brilliant vibe and vocals of the original, but adds some lush piano drops.

Very nice indeed!

There's something inside you, it's hard to explain!

Kavinsky - Nightcall 

(Eewas Cesium Remix)

Vibe on!

Love this, with it's continuous piano loops it really creates a great dance floor vibe.

A few samples and vocals would really complement it and add something extra to it, but I can imagine it would be great on the dancefloor in clubs and work really well to mix in and out of.

Grant Nelson behind this one.

Enjoy!

Nu Rhythmix - Babylon 

(The Vibe Mix)

I love, I hate, I feel!

 The Grid were responsible for some epic dance tracks largely due to the genius of the late Dave Ball R.I.P.

This is another great track which was big in 1994 and is a good example of their vibe at that time.

I always feel that this track doesn't quite explode like some of their others.

It just feels like it is missing that major peak.

Nonetheless it's still a pretty fine track and just worthy of PCC status as it always went down well in clubs.

Neil Arthur – I Love I Hate 

(The Excalibur Mix)

I would like to find the answers!

I could have sworn I'd posted this before.

Much more indie dance than club dance, but what an amazing track.

There was a time when I first came across this that I was playing this several times a day, because I was just so blown away my how amazing it was (and still is).

One of the best and most unheralded tracks in the last 10 years, no question.

It has a touch of Joy Division about it.

Stunning!

You buried me

Right where I belonged

You buried me

Right where I belonged

And still, I'm waiting there

On division st

I would like to find the answers I was always rudely denied

A song so sweet

From back when I was born

The loving creak

Of floorboards by the door

Hopeful I waited, hopeful I called

But no one would answer at all

On division st

I would like to find the answers I was always rudely denied

Nation Of Language - On Division St

Going to take you higher!

Gorgeous track and a superb remix by Mr Morales.

The remix is much more like a Frankie Knuckles remix, super silky and super smooth and hence his influence via Def Mix was certainly being closely studied by Morales.

Great vocals and such a superb classic house feel.

This track should have been way bigger that it was, 35 years on it still sounds absolutely epic.

Classic house music indeed!

Going to take you higher!

Slam Slam Featuring Dee C. Lee - Move (Dance All Night) 

(Slammin' 12") 

True pioneers!

Corking track from 1988 (yes 1988!!!) from the revered dance music pioneers that were Severed Heads.

As soon as you hear that piano riff it will be instantly familiar as effectively used in the Liberation 2 track and many others.

Class is permanent.

Feel the power!

Severed Heads - Greater Reward 

(Piano Power Edit)

Yes you and you!

Slammin' piece of hard trance of a very well known pop track.

This has a real vibe and edge to it.

Pounding and driving, but with some beautiful subtle piano drops.

It all comes together very nicely and has a superb aura about it.

A very effective re-working, done well.

Get on it!

Beautiful Imbalance - First Picture Of You 

(Lost In Music Mix)

Here, here, here we go!

Surprised this hasn't been posted before now.

A nice little old skool track with plenty of catchy little sample and some nice piano.

I always feel that this one had a bit more to offer and didn't quite explode enough.

Still a catchy little track though.

Q Words - That's The Choice 

(Club Version)

Don't be offended!

Apologies for the lack of posts recently but things have been a bit hectic with work, holidays etc.

Here we are back with a beauty.

The PSB are no strangers to the PCC Blog and have always had a great dance music appeal.

This is a corking remix by Jam & Spoon which adds a super feel to Neil's great vocals.

A really pleasant and quite unusual mix.

Enjoy!

Pet Shop Boys - Young Offender 

(Jam & Spoon Trip-O-Matic Fairy Tale Mix)

I'm going be ok, I'm going be alright!

Whitney was one of those amazing vocalists that just made everything she was involved in sound epic.

This is a great Thunderpuss remix which showcases her amazing vocals to great effect.

The great lady is sadly missed, but her music will live forever.

I'm going be ok, I'm going be alright!

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right but It's Okay 

(Thunderpuss Club Mix)

I know what you're thinking!

J Lo's music is ideal for remixing and Moto Blanco are always on the button.

Their remixes are always showered with piano and sometimes borderline in view of PCC or too commercial.

However, this one falls clearly on the PCC category.

Great speeded up vocals really create some great energy for the track and J Lo is just uber talented and maybe the greatest pop star/actress of all time?

I know what you're thinking!

Jennifer Lopez - Do It Well 

(Moto Blanco Mix) 

Heavenly!

I don't think it would be an overstatement to say Inner City were one of the best house acts of all time.

The combination of the genius of Kevin Sanderson and the amazing vocals of Paris Grey (a.k.a. Shanna Jackson) have stood the test of time from the very early days of house.

This is another of their classic tracks with an exquisite Def Mix courtesy of another house legends Mr Frankie Knuckles (R.I.P) and Mr David Morales.

Glorious house music and Paris' vocals are off the chart on this.

It is of course a remake of Stephanie Mills original, but even though this is now nearly 27 years old, it still sounds amazing.

Pure joy!

Inner City - What You Gonna Do With My Lovin'

(Def Mix)

You already to get funky!

Back to the old skool with this one from 1995

You could always rely on PCP to do just as their names suggest.

James Sammon was a master at using lots of common samples and adding great piano to make the track bang.

Make the best pound indeed!

Piano City Productions Vol 3 - Set Me Free

One more chance to keep you satisfied!

Classic PSB track given a great tweak by the Slick Sgt.

His remixes are often just subtle tweaks here and there, but always just add a little oomph to already great tracks.

The Shoppies have proven their legendary status by their longevity and consistency across several decades.

I like the little raps in this version, which add a little something extra.

Of course we also need to pay homage to Mr Presley for the original version dating back to 1972.

Classy!

Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind 

(Sgt Slick's Melbourne ReCut)

Don't try and hold me back!

Another great new track (also from Parky's radio show).

This has great vocals and is very much in the Keinemusik vibe.

Another that oozes class, fizzles and bubbles and has that delightful Keinemusik aura.

Not quite as stunning as "Your voice" posted previously, but still pretty epic.

Enjoy!

AWEN - The Giant (Kanté)

Not Africa!

Great new track first heard on Parky's superb radio show this week.

Excellent use of the Toto - Africa sample.

This track just has such a great aura about it.

You feel soothed, engrossed and encapsulated all at the same time.

It just oozes and bubbles and reaches a lovely peak.

Very tasty!

Cass - NotKansas

(Cass 4by4 Remix)

Just another ordinary day!

Another corking track.

This time from 2010.

I know he's not always everybody's cup of tea, but I've always loved BG.

He has an amazing voice and this really shines through here.

There are lots of remixes of this track, but this is the pick of them IMHO.

Boy George - Amazing Grace 

(The Sharp Boy's Extended Club Mix)

I've just spent all my money!

Now where as the last track was dark and moody and very underground, this is the absolute opposite.

However, that's the ethos of the PCC blog, it just has to be good and worthy of rockin' dancefloors.

The vocals and lyrics in this are super catchy and of course Moto Blanco are experts at layering up the piano to give it that real dancefloor oomph.

I'm less sure about the will.i.am content, but it's still a cracking little track.

Natalia Kills ft. will.i.am - Free 

(Moto Blanco Club Mix Remix)

Live the dream!

Superb track from 1990.

Dark, moody, but superb vocal delivery by Carlton.

I'm not such a big fan of the break beat backdrop, but the vocals make this stand out.

Enjoy!

Carlton - Do You Dream 

(Flavor Remix)

Float like a ........

 Corking piece of progressive house from 1997.

When you see Heliotropic you know it's going to be on the money as all their tracks and remixes were superb.

This is no exception and is very much an hidden little gem which didn't get the dancefloor exposure that it deserves.

Still sounds great almost 30 years on.

Enjoy!

Hydra - Butterflies 

(Heliotropic Mix)

It's had a remix!

A proper old skool banger from back in '91.

Possibly a little too on the hardcore side of dance for me, but that piano is still to die for.

Just love the "It's had a remix!" sample in Manc accent. It sounds a bit like Gary Neville (ha ha).

Hip Hop and diddilly bow bow!

Sy-Kick - Nasty 

(Remix)

Going up!

Came across this recently.

Don't know too much about the artist, but the track certainly bangs.

Some great thumping piano and some very likely build and drops.

Definitely worthy of PCC status

This track will do some serious damage on the dancefloor.

George Ellis - Ascension 

(Extended Mix)

Got to have your love!

Surprised I've not posted this until now.

This was always a big track from the early days back in 1988.

Produced by Clivillés & Cole, it was one that bumped and grooved, with some great vocals, lots of heavy breathing and lots of good samples.

I need your love, I want your love, got to have your love!

The groove is still infectious all these years on.

Sandée – Notice Me

(Notice the House Mix)

Credibility shot?

Now and again something cheesy manages to squeeze on to the blog.

This is such a track which just about scrapes credibility courtesy of a great Love To Infinity  remix.

The vocals are pure Edam, but the rest of the track is pretty decent and the piano is lush.

Very borderline for the PCC blog, but a little cheese is good for a healthy dance music diet.

Forgive me!

Ace Of Base - Travel To Romantis 

(Love To Infinity Mix)

Follow me!

If anyone ever thinks of Last Rhythm then it is usually because of their eponomously entitled club classic from 1990, which was on of the greatest dance tracks ever made.

However, they make some good other tracks and this is one of them.

It has a great feel about it and some great piano and that Last Rhythm feel.

This ones from 1995 and still feels good 30 years on.

Follow me!

Last Rhythm - Labyrinth 

(Time Of Meditation Mix)

Groovin' with Lonnie!

This is another great track from early last year which I keep coming back to.

As per the last track it is slightly on that Acid Jazz style, but this time a touch more housey.

I can imagine this being a great Café Del Mar track, just superbly chilled, a little Flamenco in style, but very joyous.

Something to warm the soul while the weather is bitterly cold outside.

One to soothe your soul!

Reelsoul feat. Tasha LaRae 

- All That I Can Say (Lonnie's Groove) 

(DJ Spen Remix)

Feel the joy!

This was a great track which is a few months old now, but still brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.

It has a feel of acid jazz about it and is very different, but very catchy and endearing.

It's like a cross of the Brand New Heavies with Corinne Bailey Rae.

Rona Ray is a real talent and I feel will get bigger.

Turbojazz feat. Rona Ray - The Joy 

(Original Mix)

Happy New Year for 2026!

Well Happy New Year to one and all, wishing everyone a fantastic 2026.

There will be lots more posts to come and of course that means lots of exciting new tracks and of course lots of fantastic oldies.

I have a bank of several thousand tracks still to post which I continuously top up when I hear tracks worthy of PCC status.

2025 was a pretty good year for posts on the PCC Blog with a total of 343 tracks shared which is almost one per day and was my most productive posting year since the first year of the blog back in 2009.

Why do I continue to post?

Quite simply I love sharing great dance music and although the followers have dropped over the years, I come to think of the blog as a sort of database and reference point of the greatest dance tracks ever produced.

If it's a great track it'll be on the blog, if it isn't then it's brand new, or one of the few old gems that has remained hidden for the last 20 years.

I've considered creating lots of other social channels, but nothing quite matches a blog for building and growing this huge public dance music database of the best tracks to ever grace clubland.

Here's to a fabulous 2026 to everyone and many more great tracks to come.

Kicking off with a fine piece of Keinemusik inspired Afro House, with a great atmosphere, some lovely chilled beats and delightful stabs of piano.

Does anyone else hear "and we never had roast beef", when they hear this?

Ha ha!

Enjoy!

Cash Only Feat. VSTRV – No Way

All I want to do...

This has been out of few weeks now, but still continues to hit me in all the right spots each time I hear it.

The sample has been very widely used on so many tracks most notably DSK's great track from the early 90's.

This has the full on Keinemusik vibe, just ebbing and flowing with that lovely chilled aura, yet at the same time keep you fully locked in.

If we could let our feelings get emotional!

Jazzy & Ankhoi - Closer To The Floor 

(Extended Mix)

Summer vibes in Winter!

This is new and very good.

Lots of great piano and some nice steel drums which always sound great.

It has a very nice summer vibe, which is always welcome at this time of year when it is cold and devoid of sun in the UK.

Cracking little tune.

Enjoy!

Le Chev - Pan Man

You're still a friend of mine!

More Indie Dance, then a club track, but superb all the same.

Republica were great in the mid 90's and Saffron (Samantha Speckling) was a captivating performer and deserved a much bigger stage.

This track is superb, catchy, cheesy, with loads of guitar and just an overall sass.

Enjoy!

Republica – Drop Dead Gorgeous

Get on the train!

Superb piece of deep house from 1991.

This has such a great feel, yet is quite deep and dark.

The piano in it is heavenly against some hard percussive beats.

Done well great house music doesn't have to be complex.

Moodswings - (Works Of Atreus) - The 6 Train

I stand at the head of the queue!

Such a great track from way back in 1985, which 40 years on still sounds great.

It starts a little steady with a fairly slow tempo, but then really picks up about half way through when it suddenly becomes a lot more dance orientated and then just continues to grow from there.

When the piano kicks in then it really starts to take off.

Pure class!

ABC - Ocean Blue 

(Atlantic Mix) 

Get high!

Quality track from 1995 which just appears to be plodding along, but then explodes with some great piano which transforms it into an absolute banger.

The power of piano is never to be underestimated, it's presence in so many tracks make the difference between plodder and corker and this is a great example.

Don't stop!

Enjoy!

Aquarius - All I Really Want 

(Parts 1&2)

I can see the magic in your life!

This is a few weeks old now, but really liking this track at the moment.

Michael Gray has been around the scent for several decades producing fantastic house music under his various guises, as Greed, Hustlers Convention, Full Intention to name just a few.

His formula is tried and tested and all his work entails great vocals and great piano to produce house classics.

This is very much another in that vein.

The man has legend status!

Michael Gray (feat. Phebe Edwards) - Life Will Be  

(Extended Mix)

Happy Christmas 2025!

Quite possibly one of my favourite Christmas songs and possibly the only credible Christmas song which could be granted PCC status.

I've always loved everything Saint Etienne right from the very beginning  back in 1990 with their epic first two releases "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and "Kiss and Make Up" which I still have both on 12".

Since then have continued to produce brilliant Indie Pop records which when remixed have produced some fantastic PCCs which have already been posted.

This track is a great jolly and energetic dance/pop track with great vocals (as always) by Sarah Cracknell and joined by Tim Burgess (lead singer and frontman of The Charlatans).

Happy Christmas one and all!

Saint Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day

Warp yourself in velvet!

A truly stunning trance classic from 2000 which is probably closer to progressive house than trance.

Laurent Véronnez produced some amazing tracks more often under his Airwave guise.

This has everything, energy drive, builds and some great chilled piano chords.

Just an epic of dance music.

Velvet Girl - Velvet 

(Original Mix)

A breath of sweet inspiration!

A superb Balearic classic from 1990.

If there was ever a track I could picture as being played at Cafe Del Mar this would be up there.

It starts and finishes with the noise of the waves washing up on the sea shore, a la outside Cafe Del Mar, then drops into the beautiful melodic 98bpm Balearic beats, gorgeous female vocals and some delightful piano.

Balearic heaven, I can almost feel the sun!

A breath of sweet inspiration!

I just wanna love you!

Emotion - I Just Wanna Love You 

(Love Slowdown Mix)

Hold it, then let it go!

This is brand new and steaming hot.

It starts off with a real groove and then just keeps on building and fizzing, slowly drawing you in, then slows and you perhaps think it's not going to really go anywhere and then the piano is unleashed and it kicks and just keeps on kicking.

Another track from Parky's radio sure - keep 'em coming legend!

Mike Misiu - Hold Your Body

I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless!

How do you remix such an epic classic without ruining it?

Well this is a fine example, I'd say that the remix doesn't had a huge amount to the original version, but that's probably a bit of an impossible task.

This is one of my real favourite tracks and always put me in a different place.

The combination of musical talents on this with Bernard, Jonny, Neil and Chris is just off the scale and they combine and complement so effectively.

This track is just genius and the remix just allows it to flow by virtually playing the original twice.

One of the great tracks of our era.

I love you, more than you love me!

Electronic - Getting Away With It

(Greg Wilson Edit)

Groove on!

An absolute masterpiece from 1991.

Such a great example of piano house which can only be summed up respecting the title.

As a non-vocal track of over 10 minutes in length it never once fails to engage you and when that piano picks up and kicks back in towards the end.

Oh boy, yes we feel it.

Such a classy production which will always be a timeless PCC.

The Vision - Laidback & Groovy

I'd like to dedicate this to all the lovers in the house!

A great house classic from 1995.

I'd like to dedicate this to all the lovers in the house!

Farley and Heller were always so consistent with their remixes and although I felt some of their stuff was a touch "too US" on occasions, this was certainly one of their top notch remixes.

Superb vocals by the legendary Michael Watford, one of the great house vocalists for amny years and sadly no longer with us.

The piano in this track aligned to the Fire Island percussive beats make this a real stand out track.

Still sounds great 30 years on!

Michael Watford - Love Change Over 

(Fire Island Vocal Mix)

Keep on risin'!

Great reworking of the classic Soul Providers track which was huge back in the late 90s.

This has reworked the fabulous Michelle Shelley vocals from the original and also tinkled with other aspects of the production to give it a great fresh and new feel.

Great to hear this again and I'm sure it will be a biggie in the clubs.

Michelle Shellers - Rise 

(DJ Spen & Thommy Davis Vocal Reproduction)

Put's you in a transa!

A trance classic from 1999 which banged and fizzed, but probably never quite got the love of less worthy tracks.

This has it all the energy, the build ups, the breaks and is a really great track.

Maybe the lack of vocals and any piano peak sections reduced it's popularity.

Will always be a banger for me.

Enjoy!

Transa - Transtar

Tonight's the night to live!

Enjoying this one at the moment which is a new and another choice cut from Parky's great radio show.

I'm a big fan of Yousef's productions and this is laden with piano and also has some really great change of pace portions.

Nice vocals and an aura which just makes you "feel good!"

Do you wanna feel good!

Yousef feat Alexx - I Feel Good

Got to find another way...

This is new and just lovely.

Very much in the Keinemusik vibe.

Just such a great aura and cosy feel to it.

It just relaxes you, excites you and soothes you all in one.

Very nice indeed!

Rio Kosta - Mountain Top 

(Nico Morano & Fabio Aurea Remix)

You seduce me with a smile!

A superb piece of vocal house from 1992.

Clubland made some absolutely corking tracks and although this is not quite up there with "Love Strain" it is still a very well produced and exciting track.

Great vocals once again by Zemya and some delightful piano by Eric Kupper.

Just lovely and I'd say a very underated and underplayed track.

Get on it!

Clubland feat. Zemya Hamilton - Hypnotized 

(Eric Kupper Timeless 12'' Vocal Mix)

Up ahead!

Possibly BT's finest hour (or 13 minutes)?

It was certainly a monumental track and one which showcased all his musical talents.

Full of glorious layers of piano and also some exquisite guitar strings, in conjunction with Tori's ethereal vocals.

It's quite a journey at 13 mins, but always keep you fully immersed in the track and what's coming next.

One I never heard on the dancefloor, but I suspect it would have had a great impact.

Most certainly a great example  of progressive house and one that still sounds amazing some 30 years on.

I've also added a PVD remix which is very solid and although less musical and creative, it certainly bangs.

BT Featuring Tori Amos - Blue Skies 

(BT's Delphinium Days Mix)

BT Featuring Tori Amos - Blue Skies 

(Paul Van Dyk's Erinnern Indigo Mix)

Gorgeous?

Cracking little known track from 1991.

Nice little groove and some great piano.

House music doesn't have to be complex to make you move.

Enjoy!

Dee Gorgeous - Better Than Sex 

(Extended Club Mix)
