Jonathan Peters created some sensational remixes and very much in line with that Sound Factory style lead by Junior Vasquez.
Those guys were rocking it in the US when the scene in the UK had become a little jaded and uncreative.
They had a great habit of turning naff pop songs into dancefloor epics.
Just like this one!
Enjoy!
Jessica Folker - To Be Able To Love
(Jonathan Peters Club Mix)
You can very much feel the Chris Day influence in this.
It has his classic touch mixing in a bit of Balearic guitar with some amazing piano breakdowns.
His tracks and remixes were always absolutely on the button.
Most certainly, one of the great remixers of our generation as all his work still sounds amazing and stands the test of time.
Also one of the most unsung heroes of our time. DJ and Remix legend!!
P.S. Worth noting that James Wiltshire (aka Jimmy Gomez/Freemasons), also engineered on this track.
The Delorme - Feel This Way
(Club For Life Mix)
Her vocals are second to none and her longevity is testament to her supreme talent.
Her vocals on this are stunning!
Totally love this remix.
"I won't take second place"
Top Notch.
Enjoy!
Diana Ross - No One Gets The Prize
(AC Re-Edit)
Probably not the sort of track you'd play in front of your Mum and Dad, but what a track!
(You have been warned!!)
Completely different to the E-Smooth remix of the same track which is more of a house classic.
This is pumping, pounding, stomping epic monster of a track.
Reject all the values of society!
Jimmy Somerville - Heartbeat
(Heartbeat II Mix)
Used to love this one and still do.
I used to think it said "I despair" until I found out the title of the track!
Trance music at it's very best.
Timeless classic.
Groovezone - Eisbaer
(Extended Mix)
They were however, not really dancefloor fodder.
This is a great remix though from Oakey and Osbourne.
Quality track from 1992, progressive and pounding!
Get on it!
Deacon Blue - Your Town
(Perfecto Mix)
The Freemasons produced some brilliant tracks and remixes and this is right up there with the best of them.
Top notch.
Beyoncé - Ring the Alarm
(Freemasons Club Mix)
Great vocals, great house groove and superb piano and great remix from Stonebridge.
Top class from start to finish.
We've got to move this beat going on!
In fact I can't believe that I've not posted this until now.
Top track.
Subterrania feat. Ann Consuelo - Do It For Love
(Stone's Essential Club Mix)
Hammered by Oakey back int' day!
Still sounds great and so much better than the so call Trance which is churned out nowadays.
The Nomads - The Holy Land Spirit
(Club mix)
Much poppier and commercial but still very catchy and endearing.
Still sounds great!
Enjoy!
The Flavour - 'No Matter What U Do (I'm Gonna Get With U)
(The Tesko Development Vocal Mix)
Superb Steve Silk remix as per usual.
He always uses piano so well in all his remixes.
I wanna be free!
The Party - Free
(Hurley's 12 Without Rap)
One that was amazing on the dancefloor and would certainly put you in another place.
Lush piano and delightful ethereal vocals.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode!"
"Can't you feel what I feel?"
A biggie with Sasha back in '91.
A definite PCC.
The Formula - Exploded
(Original Mix)
They were always on the button with their productions and remixes.
This is slightly more trancey and progressive than their usual style and more akin to Way Out West.
A great track though, that takes you on a very nice chilled trance journey.
Love it when the piano kicks in - another level.
Enjoy!
T-empo - The Blue Room
(Original Mix)
Can't quite believe that I haven't posted this until now.
This is one of the true house classics.
Totally timeless.
From 1988 but still sounding amazing.
"I want your love, I need your love!"
A true PCC!
Dionne - Come Get My Lovin'
(NYC Mix)
He's done some cracking remixes and made some great tracks.
Definitely doesn't get the acclaim that his work deserves.
This is a cracker - just wait for those fiddles, you could be in Ireland for a moment!
Ezee Posse - Deliverance
(Kinky Roland Fiddled with Me Mix)
They really did some great "knob twiddling" back in the days and created many, many epic remixes, several of which appear on the blog and several more still to post.
Beautiful piano runs throughout this one and it builds, bends and curves.
It'll certainly put a smile on your face!
"Keep On Smiling!"
Black Masses - You Put a Smile On My Face
(T-empo mix)
Full of energy and always brings a smile to your face.
"Well every time it laughs in my face"
It does sound a little dated, but still very good.
B.F.I. - Why Not Jazz
(Summer Version)
This is a lush progressive journey of a track.
"I can feel it!"
Of course you can!
Dr Atomic - Schudelfloss
(High On Hedonisim Mix)
Stick with it, it builds and then explodes with some lush piano.
Brings back some great memories of Back 2 Basics in Leeds downstairs in the Music Factory.
Good old days!
Acorn Arts II - Body
(Zoom Snakecharmer Mix)
It's like Dream Music years ahead of Robert Miles type tracks.
It's like being wrapped in a cocoon of Balearic bliss.
Heavenly!
I can never decide which is the best mix, so I've posted them both.
The Guerillas mix is a touch more upbeat and lively.
Both are quality.
Enoy!
Bora Bora - Love Song
(Supreme Trance Mix)
Bora Bora - Love Song
(Guerrillas Mix)
Such a beautiful chill out Balearic track.
Think Orbital - Belfast and you are not far off.
Lush!
Bleep Booster - Genki
(Technology Remix)
This is a fabulous remix by JR, in his typical stylee.
This one's from 1993.
Quality track.
Fluke - Slid
(Justin Robertson's Scat And Sax Frenzy Mix)
Quality track from 1991.
Thompson Twins were very much a pop act, but this is PCC status.
Some great catchy piano.
Enjoy!
Thompson Twins - Come Inside
(Feedback Max house mix)
