Fills my prescription every night!


 A true work of art.

Taking an absolutely disco classic and creating 12 minutes of dance music perfection.

A fantastic C&C re-working, which retains so much of the feel of the original yet adds that fantastic C&C remix formula.

Superb vocals by Rochelle Fleming.

Pure class, a true PCC!

First Choice - Doctor Love 

(Love Mix)

Once I was lost now I'm found!


Fantastic remix of a legendary song.

Just love this, as funky as hell, yet respecting and retaining that superb feel of the original.

Exquisite vocals (as per usual) by the fantastic Stephanie.

Pure class and a great production.

Stephanie Mills - Never Knew Love Like This Before

(Barry Harris Remix)

A little slice of heaven!


A great track.

Loved some of the stuff Sarah Washington did, a really great vocalist.

This is a seriously uplifting track, with some great piano.

A great remix again by Serial Diva (aka the legendary Paul Taylor of Angels fame).

Definitely a little slice of heaven!

Sarah Washington - Heaven 

(Serial Diva Heavenly Club)

I'm flying over you!


Totally this love.

Fantastic track from 2012.

Very unique in it's sound, but very special.

Just a great track.

Psyche - Goodbye Horses 

(21St Century Immortality Mix)

I was lying on the grass!


Catchy, cheeky, kitsch and totally fabulous!

Yes, it was a bit commercial but it is a great track.

Always loved that piano in this.

Confident to give this PCC status!

Enjoy!

Len - Steal My Sunshine 

(Skyjump Club Edit) 

Always the Guru!


Totally love this, it just puts me in a different place.

Those piano chords are so crisp and beautiful.

Pure heaven!

(And not a saxophone in sight!)

Guru Josh - Warehouse Requiem 

(Long Version)

Why do you want to treat me this way?


Quality house music from 1989.

Top notch vocals and some great piano.

Feel the Horn!


Totally love this track from 1996.

Very unique in sound and enthralling from start to finish.

Just love that horn!

Digidance - The Horn 
(Klubbheads Blow Da Klubbs Mix)

Certainly better than silence!


Totally love this and would go as far to say it is one of the best things George has done.

Great vocals and some spellbinding piano.

A total PCC.

Get on it!

Culture Club - More Than Silence 

(Boy George & Roland Faber Remix)

Progressive Epic!


This was a real stomper back in the day in 1992.

Great piece of progressive house.

Hard, fast, pounding, but totally engaging throughout!

Great breakdown in this track which used to blow the roof off!

Back II Front - Viewfinder

(Original Version)

Go on, let your soul fly free!


Quality house track given that little bit of Hac magic by Parky's excellent remix.

Lots of lovely piano laced around some great female vocals.

Top notch house music!

Darlene Lewis - Soul Fly Free - 

(Graeme Park Remix)

Follow the Pied Piper!


Classic track which came out under a few different guises.

Always a biggie in clubs and still sounds great 30 plus years on.

Quality never dies!

The Pied Piper - Kinetic 

(Orbital Remix)

I feel the night explode, when we're together!


 Very surprised to find that I've not posted this before.

Another corking remix from T-empo (as they always are).

"I feel the night explode, when we're together!"

This track is pure class from start to finish.

Huge on the dancefloor, a true PCC!

Just how we know and like 'em!

Enjoy!

Taylor Dayne -  Tell It To My Heart

(T-empo's Club  Mix)

Come with me to the dancefloor!


Quality old skool track.

As soon as you here those opening vocals "Come with me to the dancefloor!" you're there.

And dance the night away was exactly what we did.

Get on it!

Final Cut Presents True Faith - Bridgett Grace 

- Take Me Away 

(Pin-Up Girls Remix) · 

Cheese or Quality??


I still quite decide whether this is cheese or quality, but ultimately it is still a very engaging if slightly overly commercial piece of piano heaven.

I'll leave it at that and let you decide?

Cheese or quality???

K.R.B. - El Piano 

(Original)

"Floating in the air, floating in the sea, take my hand, come with me!"


You know you are in Balearic heaven as soon as that first piano chord drops.

A fantastic Balearic classic from the genius that was Mr Andrew Weatherall (R.I.P.)

Pure quality from start to finish and oh so perfect for those chilled summer evenings.

"Floating in the air, floating in the sea, take my hand and come with me!"

Oh yes!

The Grid - Flotation 

(Subsonic Grid Mix)

Come on people, yes indeed!


Old skool in the house.

More stomping Italian Piano tunes!

Love this track, so simple yet so effective.

Piano-tastic from start to finish and truly delightful.

Sunset Regime - Come On People 

(Piano Mix)

Put your hands together!


I had to check and re-check again, that I hadn't posted this before, but no I hadn't, which is a real surprise as it is a seminal house classic.

A huge Sasha track back int'day and one which always created a great vibe on the dancefloor.

Sensational vocals, catchy lyrics and such a great groove and vibe.

Bonafide PCC, which all these years on still sounds amazing!

Put your hands together!

Quality never fades!

Enjoy!

Nicole - Rock The House 

(Club Mix)

This is the warning!


 Always loved this track.

A sensational piece of deep house from 1990.

Love the fierce beats and the lush subtle piano.

A house classic, no doubt!

Get on it!

Logic - The Warning 

(Inner Mix)

Do You Believe In The Wonder? The Wonder of Love!


 Always enjoyed hearing this track out in clubs, very anthemic!

I always love tracks that slow down and then build up.

This one almost stops and then pumps back up.

Some great vocals by Jeanie and some lush piano chords.

Great club track from 1994 which was always great on the dancefloor!

Jeanie Tracy - Do You Believe In The Wonder 

(Band Of Gypsies Mix)

More old skool? Thought so!


Cracking track from 1993.

This was also found on the flip side to one of my all time favourite tracks Parra dice - Can Your Hear Me.

It doesn't quite reach the heights of that, but still contains a few catchy little samples and of course a cracking piano breakdown that takes a while to kick in, but is well worth it.

Another good slice of old skool!

Global - A Better Love 

(Original Version)

"Sorry won't fix it, no not anymore!"


 A sensational track from 1994.

This track has everything, great vocals, a superb catchy rhythm, great build up and of course those beautiful piano breakdowns we all know and love.

"Sorry won't fix it, no not anymore!"

Top drawer!

Get on it!

Gladys Knight - Next Time 

(Spike Club Mix)

I just wanna hear a good beat!


 Always loved this and not heard it for a while, but great to hear it again.

It still sounds just as good as it did all those years ago in 1991.

Just love the piano and the funky nature of this track.

"I just wanna hear a good beat!"

Oh yes, indeed!

Enjoy!

Ellis In Wonderland - Good Beat 

(Remix)

Float away on the Airwave!


Staying on the beautiful floating trance vibe.

This is another cracker, this time a bit later from 2004 which is outside the typical years of a track on the PCC blog.

However, there is no mistaken the quality of this track, hence a worthy inclusion.

Float away and enjoy!

Airwave - Ladyblue 

(Original Beat)

Ride to the Milky Way!


Beautiful floating trance track from 1994

Great intro which just touches the soul.

Superb track which then builds into a real trance stomper with lots of "bounce and fizz"

Reach for that Milky Way!

Aurora Borealis - The Milky Way 

(Original Mix)

Love a bit of Billie!


 It always amazed me how Billie wasn't a bigger star, she had one of the most unique and amazing vocals and she should have been a megastar.

However, she can rest contented that her glorious vocals transformed so many tracks into Pure Club Classics.

This one is no exception, her amazing vocals just make an ordinary track, extra special.

Billie Ray Martin - Space Oasis 

(Junior's UK Mix)

Let the sun shine!


 Love this track, very commercial, but just so endearing.

Huge sing along chorus, which you can't resist singing along to.

Great dance music doesn't always have to be cool, it can also be fun!

"I fashion my future on films and space!"

Army Of Lovers -  Let the Sunshine In

(Extended Mix)

Feel the Eternal Spirit!


 Epic progressive house, early trance track.

Still sounds amazing with unlimited amounts of energy and that lovely squelchy, bouncy acid vibe.

A really fierce track from 1993.

Feel the Eternal Spirit!

4Voice - Eternal Spirit 

(Northern Mix)

I want to ride on the rhythm!


I can't believe I've not posted this previously.

This is one of the all time house classics.

Everything about this track is fantastic.

The piano is to die for!

Kenlou were certainly Masters At Work in every sense of the matter!

Huge track played by Parky at the Hacienda.

House music perfection.

'Little' Louie & Marc Anthony - Ride On The Rhythm 

(Masters At Work Dub)

The vocal version is equally fantastic.
