In your Dreams!

How about this for a first post from me. 
Massive tune. 
For a time in 1996 this was the tune of choice at clubs that played at the harder end of the house spectrum. 
I can remember hearing it at Ark several times, and it was a highlight of the last ever Ark held on 22nd Feb 1997 at the Leeds University Refectory. 
A favourite with DJ's such as Sy, Rob Tissera etc, it also made it into the box of Jeremy Healy. 
The reason for that? Well its not the lyrics. 
It might be the crunching beats, it might be the 134 BPM pace that never lets go for a second, or it may be the break that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. 
However I reckon its the bells. 
They may not actually be church bells, but the bells add a certain something to this tune that elevates it above and way beyond most other early hard house. 
Remixed several times since, with a corking Tony De Vit mix from 1998, this is the original and best mix.

I remeber sitting in the car with these guys on the same day they finished the track! I knew it was a monster tune! And they certainly thought so too!
What a belter!
