What you thinking - absolutely nothing!


This was the video of our generation and we often used to play it at parties after a great nights clubbing.

We'd get the video out and put this into the VHS and be mesmerised by the video, watching it over and over.

Flowered Up - were certainly a key part of the whole Indie Dance generation of the early 90's. 

Whilst it was mainly centred around the Manchester/Northern scene and the Roses, Mondays, Inspirals, Northside, The Farm, The La's etc. Flowered Up were the London response and they did produce some quality tracks.

This was by far their best track and still sounds absolutely fantastic, this version still blows my socks off, remixed by the legend that is Lord Sabre (aka Andy Weatherall) - over 17 mins long but ever so epic.

A defining moment in club history and still the greatest music video ever made!

The best bit of the video for me was the "What you thinking - absolutely nothing!" bit, which just captured the scene.

Have a good time!

Flowered Up - Weatherall's Weekender 

(Audrey Is A Little Bit More Partial Mix)

And now ladies and gentlemen - what you've been waiting for!

I've always been a huge fan of Saint Etienne and Messrs Wiggs and Stanley were most certainly creative music genii. 

Add Sarah Cracknell's heavenly vocals and you have pop music perfection.

This track is probably more Indie Dance, then club dance floor, but in my view it is better than all the house mixes and the MAW remixes didn't really add anything other than a 4-4 beat.

I've never felt so good, I've never felt so strong!

Glorious - Indie Dance at it's finest!

Saint Etienne - Nothing Can Stop Us

A star chaser!

Really surprised that I've not posted this yet, as it's always been a huge favourite of mine.

This remix is stunning and just keeps looping all the amazing parts of the original.

12 minutes of pure aural delight.

This track has everything, the chords, the vocals, the groove, the piano, the guitar, heavenly.

You can certainly feel the Nile Rogers (Chic) influence in this track.

One of the all time Disco classics.

Also posted the Dave Lee remix, as there is nobody who remixes Disco classics better than Dave and this is another fine fine piece of artistry.

Enjoy!

We can fly!


Matt Darey was one of the trance guru's from the late 90's and his productions and remixes were always epic.

Here he is under his Lost Tribe moniker creating another sublime piece of banging ethereal trance, with some superb piano.

This one's from 1997 and was one of those tracks which fitted well in the Dream music genre.

We can fly!

Lost Tribe - Angel 

(Four Four Mix) 

Stand up, tell everybody I've got it!


Love this, Loleatta's vocal are on another level - I'm not sure there is another vocalist who can hit her heights.

Great remix by Terence Parker who is usually pretty spot on.

All in all a great piece of house music.

Stand up, tell everybody I've got it!

Enjoy!

Loleatta Holloway - Dreaming 

(Terrence Parker's Divine Spiritual Remix)

This is how it started!


 Love The Shaker aka Pete Bones/Peter Bonavota, pretty much all his stuff was rockin'.

This one is no exception and although it starts a bit slower and takes a while to build, but it was always one which rocked the joint.

Lots of remixes of this, but I like this one the best.

The Shaker - Just Lick It

(Hand & Speak Sublime Mix)
