Lots of great uplifting piano as typical of Greed's remix work.
Jeanie has some powerful vocals and lets fly.
Nice.

Jeanie Tracy - Do The Right Thing
(Greed's Euphorik Club Mix)
Just such a feel good song, perfect for a hot summer's day.
Roll on the sunshine.
Great lyrics, great harmonies and such a cool and chilled vibe.
Lovely!
James Yuill – This Sweet Love
(Prins Thomas Sneaky Edit)
Of course it is inspired by the Stones fantastic original.
The chorus and piano on this is heavenly.
Most definitely a hidden gem and a much underplayed classic.
DJ's the man we love the most!
Pure class!
J.B.C. - We Love You
(The Great Awakening)
Some tidy work by Jon Da Silva.
This one was always a winner on the dancefloor.
Enjoy!
Ideal - Hot
This one was on a slower vibe and more Balearic in nature.
Lemon Interupt were of course a pre-cursor which then became Underworld.
To be honest. I prefer the Lemon Interupt stuff more than what they later did as Underworld.
Enjoy!
Lemon Interupt - Eclipse
This was played just as Tongy voiced over.
It's a class tune and was absolutely bangin' in clubs.
A very typical Chris and James type track which just rocked!
It's better than alright.
It's slammin'!
S.A.I.N. - It's Alright
(Nostalgia Freaks Remix)
This was another banger and just so trade mark his style.
Another great track which has retained it vibe and spirit despite being 30 years old.
His DJ sets from around that era were also pretty epic and I remember hearing him a good few times at Back To Basics in Leeds rockin' the gaff!
Enjoy!
Sly & Lovechild - Spirit Of Destiny
(Justin Robertson Mix)
This is no exception and combines the superb Michelle Weeks vocals with some quality house beats and of course the obligatory K-Klass piano.
A top notch house track from 1997, which still sounds great.
Klass is permanent!
Keep on believing the dreams inside of you!
Michelle Weeks - Don't Give Up
(K-Klassic 12" Mix)
Lots of squelchy Roland TB303 and lots of great vocal snippets as well as some quality piano.
A real mish-mash of a track, but much loved and very much a forgotten classic.
We were just Perfectly Ordinary People (having amazing and unforgettable nights).
Rock on!
Perfectly Ordinary People - Theme From P.O.P.
(Club Re-Mix)
No Chris Day involvement in this one, but some quality tinkering from James Wiltshire (aka Jimmy Gomez/Freemasons).
Just a great groove which creates a nice moody house vibe, with sprinkles of piano and of course the unmistakeable sample.
Enjoy!
The Mack Vibe Feat. Jacqueline – I Can't Let You Go
(The Delorme Club Mix)
He really was at the forefront of that early progressive house era back in 1993.
This is one of his finest and is completely off the wall in terms of energy and just sheer explosive power.
This tracks just builds and builds with layers of piano and energy, then just when it peaks it goes on and builds some more, then more.
It is totally epic and although I don't recall being fortunate enough to hear it out in a club you could imagine it blowing the roof off.
Outstanding!
Not For Love - Dance Shooter
(Fabio Paras Remix)
Just lovely in style, very relaxed but very catchy.
Bimbo Jones does some cracking remixes, with lush piano.
The amazing vocals of Loleatta are stand out also.
Nice job!
Lenny Fontana – Chocolate Sensation
(Bimbo Jones Good Times Remix)
I'd previously failed to appreciate his outstanding ability to create such unique and effective tracks.
Hence when you get the genius of the Guvnor, Lord Sabre remixing one of his tracks you just know it's going to well, create "The Perfect Life" (at least for 8mins 36 secs).
This is truly a wonderful track.
True Balearic brilliance.
Enjoy the perfect life!
Moby - Another Perfect Life
(Andrew Weatherall Remix)
Just a fantastic track from start to finish, with great vocals, great lyrics and some really solid production.
Great to hear quality dance music still being produced.
You could say it's a touch on the commercial side, but don't let that detract for it's sheer quality and impact.
A really top notch track, which never feels to hit you where it matters.
Enjoy!
Rex The Dog - Change This Pain For Ecstasy
(Extended Version)
This is simply stunning.
Just an awesome piece of emotive piano-tastic dance music.
Another of those tracks which totally captivates you from start to finish.
Just heavenly!
Get on it!
Fahlberg - The Light
(Original Mix)
However, there have been a few notable exceptions over the 15 years the PCC blog has been running.
This includes the Chris & James - Essential Mix set from 1994 - it was then and still is the best mix set ever played even 30 years on. Other very notable sets were Oakey's ground-breaking Goa Mix set from 1994 and TWA's Essential Mix also from 1994 which was amazing.
However, recently I came across this mixset from Keinemusik - a collaboration for 3 amazing DJ's, producers and remixers namely Rampa, Adam Port and &ME.
This set totally blew me away.
I liken it to the moment when Sasha was getting a little bit bored with the scene and then along came BT (Brian Transeau) and totally re-lit his passion and desire with the fantastic music he was creating.
Well this is exactly what Keinemusik has done with me.
The approach, the sounds, the sheer quality and the vibe they create is like nothing I've heard before and the tracks they make are just sheer perfection, which hit you deep.
There music is a mixture of Deep house, afro house and slow melodic trance with this gorgeous laid back chilled vibe and is usually underpinned by some gorgeous and subtle piano - it is simply mind-blowing.
I didn't realise they have been around since 2009 and their music seems to have developed over the years.
I'll be posting much more of their stuff on the PCC blog as so much of it is just truly outstanding.
I hope you enjoy it as much as me.
In the meantime sit back relax and enjoy 2 and a half hours of deep house music perfection.
P.S. The Burning Man event looks pretty good also, (but very different to the good old days!)
Keinemusik (&ME, Rampa, Adam Port)
- Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022
Full track list
0:00 : Djamou Sangare & Idd Aziz - Lua (Pippi Ciez)They were certainly up there as one of the very best trance remixers/producers.
This is epic, sublime and monstrous all in one go.
Lush vocals, pumping rhythm, pounding beats all crafted together and combined with gorgeous piano breakdowns.
Epic!
Above & Beyond presents OceanLab - On A Good Day
(Above & Beyond Club Mix)
A house classic from 1992 with wonderful production from Larry Heard and an equally wonderful remix from Frankie Foncett.
Superb vocals combine with some great sax to give it that jazz vibe.
Classy.
Mr Fingers - Closer
(Frankie Foncett Dude Mix)
It was always one which went down a storm on the dancefloor.
Great nights at Cream hearing this.
Mike - Twangling (3 Fingers In The Box)
(Club Mix)
Glorious vocals by the fabulous Barbara Tucker and CJ spot on with another sublime remix.
House music heaven from 1994.
Enjoy.
Barbara Tucker - Beautiful People
(C.J.'s Club Mix)
Dave Gahan was amazing and produced a stage routine like a man half his age.
DM didn't have many tracks which were really good dancefloor fodder, hence great to post this remix which is top class.
The lyrics are very much about David caught up in the middle of his well publicised drug addiction.
Enjoy.
Word of warning children, stay away from the dirty sticky floors!
Dave Gahan – Dirty Sticky Floors
(Junkie XL Vocal Remix)
Her longevity, her chameleon like nature to transform into something totally different and still stay current will never be surpassed.
Many of her early tracks although great pop tracks, were never very dancefloor compatible.
Since then many have been remixed and this is one of the best.
A fantastic piece of work by Tom Moulton which like most good remixes keeps the very essence of the original but just adds those little bits which make it more dance-tastic.
Enjoy!
Madonna - Borderline
(Tom Moulton Mix)
