Just Dance

An all time classic by the The Amen Ra of Universal Hip Hop Culture. A track so good even Big Bird did a version.

Afrika Bambaataa - Just Get Up And Dance (Club Mix)

Afrika Bambaataa - Just Get Up And Dance (Acappella Mix)

Don't You Just Love DMC?

Now the original of this track is a great classic from 89, but those DMC boys mixed it up a treat.
An all round quality house tune from beginning to end

Marshall Jefferson - Gotta Have House (DMC Anthemic Mix)

Here it Comes

I had to check 3 times to make sure that this track hadn't been posted before.
Remixed by one of my all time favorite artists - Steve "Silk" Hurley
This is just 5 minutes of pure house bliss. I have quite a few more Hurley classics in the shed - time to dig them out I think.

Roberta Flack - Uh-Uh Ooh-Ooh Look Out (Here It Comes) (Steve Hurley's House Mix)

Q-Sound - Good Night

'' A Forgotten House Classic from 1995, this one will get most clubbers on the dancefloor.''
Absolutely wicked intro...

D.O.P. Rules

This post is for Leeds DJ

Thanks for the comments about the Joe Roberts remix - you're right D.O.P. ruled in the 90s - they were massive in the progressive house scene. Here are two more brilliant examples why:

D.O.P - Feels Real Good

D.O.P. - Here I Go

Who, Who Pays the Piper??

A big fave of mine from back in 1992.
This was a track which was huge at Back to Basics in Leeds (hence the flyer) and always got a great dancefloor reaction.
It is very dark, but also very infectious.
A great remix by Oakenfold and Osbourne, they were right at their remix peak around this time.
The track is very dramatic with the whispered Gary Clail vocals.
I always loved the line;
"Designer drugs at designer prices, pills, thrills and other vices"
Whos pays the piper indeed!!!
Enjoy

Give Me Tonight

This is a really old tune - a classic bit of electro from 1984 - that's nearly 30 years ago (god I feel old)

Shannon - Give Me Tonight

Love is Energy

Back to the fantastic Mr Joe Roberts. 

2 great versions of the classic love is energy. 

Joe Roberts  - Love is Energy

(Wigi Mix)

Joe Roberts - Love Is Energy 

(D.O.P. Mix)

Perfect

Now PCC has already posted a Jimmy Gomez mix of this track, but this is the version I remember Sasha playing a lot and it is my personal favorite.

Sunscreem - Perfect Motion (Boy's Own mix)

Lover

An earlier post of PCC reminded me of this great artist. 

This is a superb piano house track well remixed by K-Klass.

Joe Roberts - Lover 

(K-Klass Klub Mix)

Wanna stay here forever!!!

A big fave of mine and one of the few truly great tracks of recent years.
Beautiful melodic trance at it's very best.
This is hauntingly beautiful, it has a fantastic atmosphere and a lovely velvety vocal.
"Wanna stay here forever"
Yes indeed!!!
This one is as recent as 2007, which probably makes it one of the most recent tracks on the blog.
Enjoy!!

Fonzerelli – Spirit Wanna Stay Here Forever 

(Vocal Mix) 

PCC goes all classical again!!

Here's another piece of classical music which was absolutely massive in clubs and also one which was widely sampled and reworked.
People may remember the DNA version which was big on the club scene in the early 90's.
My fave use of the sample was in Dilemma - In Spirit - one of may all time favourite tracks.
However, this original version is absolutely amazing and one that will never date.
It was produced in 1981 and was only 2mins 18mins long.
This extended disco version spices it up just a touch more, whilst retaining the beauty of the original.
A truly amazing piece of music with fantastic emotion.
Big shout out to Stephen for bringing it to my attention again.
Keep them tracks coming fella, nice one!!

Rondo' Veneziano - La Serenissima
(Extended Disco Version)

"I promise you" this track is amazing!!!

Absolutely loving this track and a big shout out to Phil who sent it to me.
Big on the US clubbing scene back in the days, so I'm informed.
It was a track which was new to me, but one I'm absolutely hooked on.
It was originally released in 1987, but this remix takes it to another level.
It's got absolutely everything; superb vocals, great lyrics, some great subtle snippets of piano and just a delicious groove.
Massive in every sense.
Just checks these lyrics, fantastic for a sing along;
"I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will"
Bloody lovely!!!

When in Rome - The Promise 

(Tony Moran Remix)

Here's comes a storm!

Top notch us vocal track remixed by George Morel, played by Parky & many more.

They don't make em like this anymore!
