All aboard!

 First heard this in a Luvdup mix set.

Don't know too much about it other than it is rockin'.

I've always had a huge affinity to Luvdup and think it is great that Adrian and Mark are still going strong and still playing music which is cutting edge, yet retaining their original hedonistic and eclectic vibe.

They will always be up with in my all time fave DJs and Remixers - Legends of the scene!

About the track, very lively, very bouncy and lots of great piano.

What's not to love?

Get on the train!

SM - Royal Train 

(Original Mix)

"Why does it feel so good!"

I really detested Groovejet when it first came out in 2000.

It was played to death and was very commercial.

However, this remix is sensational and gives it a completely different edge.

Sophie's vocals are as always truly glorious, but it is the amazing remix work that just takes it to another level. 

PDM is an absolute Disco marvel!

"Why does it feel so good" - simple because it it!

Spiller ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Groovejet 

[Purple Disco Machine & Lorenz Rhode Extended Remix]

Get on the floor if you've got that booty!

 Another progressive banger from 1995.

The SPS produced some great tracks, very club orientated and very good on the dancefloor.

Ain't nothin' but tutti-frutti. Get on the floor if you've got that booty

The Self-Preservation Society - The Whoop 

(Dr Slinky McVelvet's Anadin Prescription)

Anyone like piano?

Another great, yet simplistic house track, from 1993.

As you can imagine from it's title, it's piano-laden.

Tracks like this always went down superbly well on the dancefloor at anytime of the night.

Enjoy!

Mind Abuse - The Piano

"Everybody reach"

A quality and very much underplayed progressive house classic from 1993.

Using the same - hoo-hoo chants as Brothers Love Dubs - The Mighty Ming, it also contains some lush piano and is a great track, which even thirty odd years on still sounds great.

"Everybody reach"

Medicine Man - Reach 

Hey-ah-eh-hey-ah!

 Quite surprised that I've not posted this track before, this was huge in pretty much all clubs back in 1995.

Beautiful gospel vocals, it was one of those tracks which always went down whatever time of night it was played.

Great production and lots of remixes to choose from, I think the Greed remix just edged it for me.

Hey-ah-eh-hey-ah!

Joe T. Vannelli Project - Sweetest Day Of May 

(Greed's Euphorik Vocal Mix)

Make room for me!

 There was a period in the early 90's when everything Leftfield touched was pure gold.

They were right at the forefront of the progressive house movement and their tracks from that time were awesome.

However, it was a bit of an eyeopener when they teamed up with John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten former lead singer and front man of the notorious punk rockers The Sex Pistols.

Fear not the collaboration was just amazing and created a real top notch club track.

This one went down a treat on the dancefloor and brings back great memories of Back To Basics in Leeds in 1993.

Burn, Hollywood, Burn!

Leftfield & Lydon - Open Up 

(Full Vocal Mix)

Keep that growth mindset!

Not quite on the same level as their eponymously titled first track.

However, that was an almost impossible act to follow as "Last Rhythm" was and still is one of the all time great club tracks.

This is from 1992 and is good with a similar vibe and is still a cracking club track worthy of PCC status.

Enjoy!

Last Rhythm - Open Your Mind 

(Original Extended Mix)

Be prepared to be blown away!

Be prepared to be blown away!

This is spellbinding and absolutely stunning.

13 minutes of total aural pleasure. 

Grab a cup of tea, sit back, relax and enjoy. 

This is very emotive, almost operatic in parts, but oh so luxurious and endearing. 

The vocals from Hannah Reid are exquisite and the strings from The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra are just heavenly.

Underpinned by a superb remix from Danish remix guru Rune Reilly Kølsch.

This track is one of a kind.

Enjoy! 

London Grammar - Hell to the Liars 

(Kölsch Remix)

Credit where it's due!

Love her or hate her (and I think most people love her), you can't knock Kylie's longevity and her consistent re-creation icon status.

Much of her success has been through association with amazing producers like Steve Anderson (aka the other half of Brothers in Rhythm with Dave Seaman).

Anything Steve  produces totally encapsulates me, the guy is a complete supremo.

Is this too commercial to be a PCC?

Probably not one for your purist house clubs, but definitely one that would have been great in many of the edgy/glam clubs.

I think it's a glorious example of a great commercial dance track.

Viva forever Kylie!

Enjoy!

Kylie Minogue - Get Outta My Way 

(Steve Anderson's Pacha Extended Mix)

"I still don't think they've got it!"

 A great old skool track from 1992.

It's a bit laden with cheese, but also very endearing.

I think it's just meandering along and then that drop comes in and it grabs me.

"I still don't think they've got it!"

"Let's tell them one more time"

Krystal Club - One More Time 

(Technical Time Mix)

Feel the vibe!

 Corking track which just grabs you from that very first piano chord.

House music doesn't have to be complex, this is a very simple arrangement, but very effective.

It cuts deep and provide warmth, emotion and appeal.

This track has it in abundance.

Enjoy!

Kolsch - Der Alte

The time is now!

Fnatastic house track from 1995.

I didn't realise at the time that Ten City were behind this.

Glorious vocals from Kim English and the obligatory superb remix from the legend Morales.

This brings back great memories of Hard Times.

Kim English - Time For Love 

(Morales Club Mix)

Such is life!

Corking progressive track from 1995.

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)

Didn't want to pressure you baby!

 Now I was never really a big Prince fan (with the exception of Raspberry Beret and When Doves Cry) although I can recognise his genius and what he was lauded after.

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)

Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover 

(Sgt Slick's Discotizer ReCut)

Please believe me!

 A lovely slice of Italian cheese from 1993.

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)

Movin' to the beat!

Now back to the old skool.

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)

Welcome to the party!

Love this from 2022, but very firmly influenced from the  halcyon days of the late 80's.

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

Oh my lord!

Another fantastic Fahlberg track.

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)

Just a lie!

I've been a bit disparaging to Moby on the PCC blog in the past and for that I can only apologise for over the years I've really come to appreciate his genius, proven by his amazing versatility, longevity and some quite epic tracks.

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)

Which is best?

Following the last post, I thought it was well worth posting the Angie Stone version also featuring a great remix by Hex Hector.

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)

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore!

 Loving this at the moment also. a great reworking of Angie Stone's original 2002 version.

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)

We were meant to be!

 Another new track and totally gorgeous.

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)

Here come the machines!

 Totally loving this at the moment, think of Kraftwerk in the 2020's.

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)
