Cleveland City was a boss label and pretty much everything that came from it was quality.
This is a cracking piece of progressive house with a great piano breakdown which kicks in to give it PCC status.
Not one of the most widely played, but a cracker all the same.
Enjoy!
Rama 1 - C'est La Vie
(Hard Mix)
It was maybe because his music didn't work on the dancefloor, however hold that thought as this is pure class.
Prince making his debut on the PCC Blog with Dmitiri doing what he does best transforming a mediocre track into a disco delight.
Love the piano introduced into this.
The Sgt Slick remix is also very good (as is pretty much all his stuff), hence also included.
Didn't want to pressure you baby!
Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover
(Dimitri From Paris Re-Edit)
(Sgt Slick's Discotizer ReCut)
Yes a touch (more than a touch?) on the cheesey side, but still very endearing in that old skool Italian piano vibe.
Probably not one for the house purists, but still very credible and just sneaks in under PCC status.
Enjoy!
Pagany - Don't Wanna Hurt You
(Extended Mix)
Love this track which still sounds amazing all these years on.
More epicness from the legend that is Steve Proctor.
You will no doubt recognise the key riff which was later used by Together on their epic "Hardcore Uproar"
Just love the raw sound of this track and also the fact that it inspired "Hardcore Uproar" which was without a doubt a pivotal track in the 90's Northern race culture.
Enjoy!
Precint 13 - Listen To Your Heartbeat
(Club Mix)
Gorgeous piano riffs and balearic chords.
A foot in the past and a foot in the future.
Further evidence that great house music is still being created.
Enjoy!
Fasme - Acid Party
I first came across his stuff via Keinemusik and have to say the whole Keinemusik phenonoman is the first dance music since the golden era of 1988 to 2000 that has really excited me.
It's haunting, hugely atmposheric and cuts deep and is a massive welcome relief that great dance music still exists.
That said, there are some great house tracks via the Big Speaker Music label, Glitterbox, PDM, Dave Lee's continual stream of remixes, as well as several others still doing a great job.
So keep the faith.
This a great track, a bit Moby-esque, hope you enjoy!
Oh my lord!
Fahlberg - Crossroads
(Original Mix)
This is another cracker combined with a fantastic remix by the Freemasons from 2008.
Some of the Freemasons tracks and remixes from that era were on another level, also epic, closing bordering that line between commercial and underground, but always just keeping it (importantly) on the underground side.
This is one such track.
Pure class!
Great vocals by Shayna Steele also.
Enjoy!
Moby - Disco Lies
(Freemasons Club Mix)
Great vocals, great remix, great track, but I think I prefer the Haska version if I'm honest
What do you reckon?
Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You
(Hex Hector & Mac Quayle Club Mix)
Has a very Keinemusik feel to it and I'm pretty sure it would be featured in their sets.
It's got a great vibe, some sumptious vocals, alovely chilled vibe and some glorious piano chords.
Just lovely.
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore!
Haska - Wish I Didn't Miss You
(Extended Mix)
This would have been the track of the summer if we'd ever had one.
Beautiful vocals from Erin Buku who has a gorgeous voice.
Love the piano in this also.
A slice of Balearic.
We were meant to be!
Sofa Talk feat. Erin Buku - Two Hearts
(Original Mix)
Definitely one of the tracks of 2024 todate.
PDM is pretty much always on it and this track has everything.
Lots of different tempo changes builds, crescendos, and some beautiful melodic atmposheric parts.
The voiced Germanic vocals just add to it's appeal.
A really fantastic track which I've been playing to death recently.
Get on it!.
Purple Disco Machine, Friedrich Liechtenstein - Die Maschine
(Extended Mix)
