Stimulation indeed!

Love this track.

It draws on so many other tracks, none of which I can quite put my finger on, but all are familar.

Just a great piece of atmposheric porgressive house, almost bordering on trance, but not quite.

Love pretty much all Tom Middleton's stuff.

Enjoy!

Humate - Love Stimulation 

(Tom Middleton Remix)

Say after me - I am free!


 I've posted a different version of this classic on the blog before, but there are also a couple of other amazing remixes of this track which are certainty PCC status.

This William Orbit remix is amazing, with so many different sections, to it.

It starts off slow and just so hauntingly beautiful and then really picks up the pace and goes off the wall crazy, then slows down a touch and then goes again.

What a remix. it totally engrosses you for the full 10 mins.

A big track for "The Man Like" (Sasha).

Really quality and very unique.

Enjoy!

Morgan King - I'm Free 

(William Orbit Remix)

Now this version could almost be a different track.

It was the same amazing opening chilled vibe, but in this mix it stays chilled throughout the track and is just gloriously luxurious and atmospheric.

It feels like floating on air!

Fantastic track.

Enjoy!

Morgan King - I'm Free 

(The Full-Length La Serenna Mix)

I hear your voice!


 Loving this track just beautiful.

Those Keinemusik boys are very hot at the moment and create some amazing tracks.

Very much on an african vibe, but they are from Germany, so go and figure.

This track is delightful with some beautiful vocals and some amazing piano, just gorgeous.

More to come from these guys.

Enjoy!

AWEN & Caiiro - Your Voice 

(Adam Port Remix)

Oh yes, feel the rapture!

Loving this absolutely superb track and one of my faves of 2023.

Out of Germany this year and just delightful.

Deep house combined with beautiful piano chords.

Pure quality.

Great to know that real quality house music is still being made.

This would go down a storm in any club.

&ME, Black Coffee - The Rapture Pt.III

Get on the scooter - enjoy the ride!

Didn't think I'd be posting Scooter on the PCC blog, but this is a cracking track often dropped by Oakey back in 1994.

Still sounds great today and not at all commercial.

A quality piece of progressive house.

Enjoy!

Scooter - Vallée De Larmes 

(Re-Incarnation By The Loop! Version)

The original mix also very good and hence also included.

Oh boy TE did it again!


 Another stupendous remix by the wonderful talent that it the Trouser Enthusiasts from 1997.

Their remixes are always absolutely on point and of the very highest quality.

This one is just as epic as all their stuff, cleverly using the Kylie lyrics alongside their pumping trance vibe.

Kylie's vocal in this one, sounds very much like Garbage (I mean Garbage the band, I'm certainly not eluding they are rubbish LOL!)

Enjoy the track it another spellbinding TE classic!

Kylie Minogue - Did It Again 

(Trouser Enthusiasts' Goddess Of Contortion Mix)

Feel the rain!

Well I'd always loved Erasure and love Blue Amazon also, so put them together and I guess I should that also, which I'm pleased to report, I do.

This is just as you'd expect from Blue Amazon a true progressive musical journey, that grips you from start to finish.

There's not much Erasure in here, but not to worry!

A true epic house masterpiece.

Enjoy!

Erasure - Rain 

(Blue Amazon Twisted Circles Mix)

It's no good? Well actually it is; very good!


Depeche are one of the great bands of the modern era - fact, but there isn't too much of their music which truly translated across onto the dancefloors of the best clubs.

However, this is a real exception thank you to some amazing production by Brian Transeau.

BT was heralded as almost the saviour of dance music (at least in Sasha's eyes), but although some of his tracks were outstanding; many weren't.

This one however, is in the outstanding bracket and is a wonderful progressive journey that keeps you encapsulated from start to finish.

The Depeche vocals are superb throughout as you'd expect.

Depeche Mode - It's No Good 

(BT Trance Vocal Mix)

Let's make today a beautiful day!


I simply haven't got enough U2 on the blog and whilst very much a rock act, their tracks are fantastic when remixed.

This is a great remix by Oakey who uses the Bono lyrics to perfection and layers the trance with a great trance vibe typical of his Flouro sound.

There are lots of remixes of this classic track, but this is the best,

Enjoy!

U2 - Beautiful Day 
(Paul Oakenfold 2004 Mix)

Geniuses at work!


 Not MJ's best piece of work, but totally transformed by the remixing genius of Frankie and Morales.

Everything they touched was pure gold and this is no exception.

Just a truly wonderful piece of classic house, taking an average MJ track and turning it into a classic house stomper.

Geniuses at work!

Michael Jackson - Love Never Felt So Good 

(David Morales & Frankie Knuckles Classic Tribute Mix)

I won't change my life!


 Always love a bit of MJB.

This is probably not one of her best, but damn fab all the same.

Moto Blanco are always pretty consistent with their remixing just managing to navigate that fine line between commercial/underground and generally keep their tracks clubby enough and not too poppy.

What do I think about this track, I'd say "Just Fine"

I ain't going to let anything get in my way!

Enjoy!

Mary J Blige - Just Fine 

(Moto Blanco Club Mix)

Lost my sparkle, lost my smile!


Love this track from 2020.

It has a depth and vibe which feels older but that is complimentary as it feels more like a track from the 90's rather that the 2020's.

A real house classic with great vocals, great lyrics and some delightful piano.

A top notch track.

Lost my sparkle, lost my smile!

Enjoy!

Melvo Baptiste (feat. Phebe Edwards) - Bad Company 

(Extended Mix)

Why does it have to be like this?

Pretty much loved everything Jay Kay did, he was one crazy Kat!

Especially when his tracks were remixed in fact I need to post more than I have done to date.

This one is just quality thank you to a fantastic disco-licious remix by the legend that is Dave Lee aka Joey Negro (perhaps the most prolific remixer/producer out there).

What you get is a great track - disco through and through, funky as hell with just a great vibe.

Why does it have to be like this?

Enjoy!

Jamiroquai - Little L 

(Dave Lee Disco Re-Blend)

Pure luxury!


Took me ages to track this one down.

I first heard it played by the legend that is Graeme Park and just loved it and after many months of searching finally find a version.

This couples Róisín's marvellous vocals with the "Lil Louis - French Kiss" sample and it just builds and builds with a subtle yet luxurious vibe.

A really special track and one which I bet could be lethal on the right dancefloors dropped at the right time.

Róisín Murphy And DJ Koze – Can't Replicate

"He's alright, alright, alright!"


 This is new and pretty sensational.

A really uplifting house gospel track with some thumping piano.

This can't fail to put a smile on your face.

"He's alright, alright, alright!"

Enjoy!

Jame Starck, Yvvan Back, Zetaphunk 

Featuring Alfreda Gerald - He's Alright 

(David Penn Extended Edit)

A true star (light!)

Enjoying this little number which has a great remix by Grant Nelson.

Very piano-licious.

Does Dave Lee aka Joey Negro ever stop, the man is truly omnipresent and is a true disco legend.

Talk about prolific, if he was a footballer he'd be Lionel Messi!

Enjoy!

Dave & Omar - Starlight 

(Grant Nelson VIP Dub)
