Took a while to figure out!


 Love this track and such a great remix from Hex Hector who did produce some great remixes.

Love the energy and vibe of this track and some great vocals from Tamia.

The whole track just screams energy, I bet it went down a storm in the clubs, I can almost feel the dancefloor delirium.

Took a while to figure out!

I've also included the Thunderpuss remix which is also good.

Tamia - Stranger In My House 

(Hex Hector H2Q Club Mix)

(Thunderpuss Club Mix)

Close to musical perfection!

Yesterday I posted a track where the original dated back to 1967 and this one is only a year after.

Although this is almost 60 years old, it still trumps pretty much everything made since.

Close to musical perfection, the instruments, the lyrics, the vocals, the groove and Diana's voice - just heavenly.

Just one of the most amazing tracks.

This Tom Moulton remix, just enhances all the best bits of the original - as mentioned close to musical perfection.

Diana Ross & The Supremes & The Temptations 

- I'm Gonna Make You Love Me

(Tom Moulton Mix)

Feel the push!

Superb piece of trance and the forerunner to the even better vocal version Push vs Sunscreem - Save Me which featured much of the same sounds.

This however deserves it's own post as a superb piece of upfront trance, still sounding great 25 years on.

Sunscreem and Push was a match made in heaven.

Enjoy!

Sunscreem - Exodvs 

(Push Remix) 

Don't you want to get.......Higher!

A corking track from 1995 and again one of those that should have been bigger.

Very much a Chris and James type track or the sort of stuff they used to play/make (not sure if they ever did play this one though?). 

It's certainly in that upbeat vibe and just the type of track which was amazing in clubs and went down a storm.

Lots of great hands in air moments in this one.

Don't you want to get.......Higher!

Sugar Shack ‎– I Wanna Take You Higher 

(Orlando Mix)

A moment, a love A dream, aloud A kiss, a cry!

Heard this the other day on the Radio and really enjoyed it.

A great reworking of the Temper Trap original from 2009.

It's got a really great feel and atmosphere and of course those great original vocals and vibe.

A moment, a love

A dream, aloud

A kiss, a cry

Nice!

Lost Frequencies, The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

I don't know why, I don't know why?

A quality track from 1994 and another that never got played out in the clubs as much as it should have.

This should have been a lot bigger.

No surprise to know that Stonebridge were behind this remix which probably explains the bouncy piano vibe, which goes down a treat when combined with Sabrina's classy vocals.

I don't know why, I don't know why?

Sabrina Johnston - Satisfy My Love 

(Johnny Boy's Monday Full On Mix)

The House Factor mix is also pretty tasty and well worth a post.

Lots of chunky piano in this one, which is also Stonebridge under their Swemix alias).

Enjoy!

Sabrina Johnston - Satisfy My Love 

(House Factor Mix)

I'll house you!

Although this steals from so many tracks it's still one I like.

I think it's the "Yep, Yep's" that I like best.

Although back int' day I always thought it was "yum yum".

Don't hold back!

Ricky Get Down Garcia - Put Your Hands Together 

(Yep Yep Mix)

For life, one love!

Quality track from 1997 courtesy of a quality Disco Citizens remix (weren't they all).

As good as Chicane were I always preferred Nick Bracegirdle's work under his Disco Citizens alias as it always felt a little bit more underground and less commercial.

As well as a good remix this also has some fine vocals from Sonya Madan probably better known as the lead vocalist in 80s Britpop band Echobelly.

For life, one love!

You better believe it!

Lithium and Sonya Madan - Ride A Rocket 

(Disco Citizens Vocal Remix)

Is this a dream?

Another corking piece of Italo piano house from 1992.

I don't remember this one being played out too much which is a shame as it's a good 'un.

Lots of familiar samples and some stomping piano.

Old skool like we know and love it.

Is this a dream?

Centric House - Alright Alright 

(Seaside Mix)

I love you baby!

I'm quite probably risking my credibility here, but who cares.

I really like this track and think it just about deserves it's position on the PCC blog.

Yes, it's as cheesy as hell but it does sound really great and would definitely go down a storm in a club if dropped at the right time.

This track also possibly holds the record for the oldest on the PCC blog with the original Frankie ialli version dating back to 1967 (almost 60 years ago - Wow!).

It was given a Disco revival by Boys Town Gang in 1981 and then Jimmy revamped it as he did with many 80's disco classics.

Come on now, sing a long.... I love you baby!

Jimmy Somerville - Can't Take My Eyes Off You 

(Almighty Definitive Mix)

Once I had a love and it was a gas!

 

Not quite as powerful (or popular) as Diddy's remix of Atomic, but a cracking remix all the same.

Blondie was one of my first music influences and I played Parallel Lines to death in late 70's as a youngster (yes I even had great taste in music as a 8 year old!!).

This remix is from 1995 and captures all the essence of the original with Debbie's superb vocals, but also provides a pretty powerful dance groove.

A pretty decent remix of an all time classic.

Always loved the lines;

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass

Blondie - Heart of Glass 

(Diddy's Adorable Illusion Mix)

Full of desire!

Banging piece of trance from 1997.

Fast tempo from the start it keeps pounding along and then increases the appeal as it starts to add some great ethereal feel towards the end of the track.

Still sounding great nearly 30 years on.

B.B.E. - Desire 

(Age Of Club Mix)

Come on let's have some fun, let's party everyone!

Loving this a great new track from Ten City who have been producing great house music from the very beginning of the house era way back in the late 80's. Now that is longevity. 

It's amazing to think that there first track Devotion was released in 1987.

That's almost 40 years at the top of their game, when most dance acts are lucky if they last 40 weeks let alone months and most certainly not years.

Respect to Ten City.

About the track well it's an absolute belter - laden with piano from start to finish and a high tempo grrove that just bounces along with some great lyrics and of course some delightful vocals from Byron.

A real quality piece of house music (maybe a touch on the commercial side), very lively and entertaining.

Possibly a tad short at just under 4 mins, but I'm sure new remixes will come in due course.

Get on the flow, come on let's go!

Come on let's have some fun, let's party everyone!

Ten City - No Sleep Tonight

Come on "Show Some Love"

Used to love this track back int' day and still do.

This was one of those tracks at the epicentre of the progressive house scene in 1992.

It's just got such an infectiocius deep progressive groove that hooks you in.

It still sounds amazing and much better than 99% of current dance tracks out there.

It would still go down an absolute treat if played in clubs today!

Come on "Show Some Love"

JACO - Show Some Love 

(Original Dub Remix)

Extend a helping hand to one another!

A great piece of old skool techno from 1991.

Not the type of track which Inner City are more renown for.

This is Kevin Saunderson in his techno vibe where he usually released tracks under his Reese alter ego.

The bassline in this track is massive and the fact it still sounds monstrous today is testament to it's class. 

We have so little time to show that we are brothers. 

We have so little time to prove that we are friends.

Inner City - Unity 

(Reese North Of Watford Mix)

I gave my love, I gave my love...

A bang average track transformed into a club classic courtesy of another fantastic remix by the maestro (how many times have we heard that before).

It's just testament to the marvellous production virtues of the legend that is David Morales.

Like Frankie before him he is just a musical genius with an expert eye in adding great percussion and wonderful piano to create dance music magic.

Hats off Sir!

I gave my love, I gave my love...

Jason Walker - All To You 

(David Morales Classic Mix)

Not new, but still a great beat!

 

A great bit of Belgium New Beat from 1988.

I love all those New Beat tracks and when mixed and blended with all the house and Balearic tracks from that era they gave Acid House it's key ingredients.

Simplicity but done so well and still sounding great almost 40 years on.

Class is permanent!

Jimmy Beat Orchestra - Main Theme

Another K-Klassic!


 More absolute quality from K-Klass, all their remixes are just so on point.

This is true to their formula a superb remix with some delightful piano.

I'm not overly keen on the male vocals, but the remix production keeps the track on form.

Hats off to the K-Klass chaps, another fine piece of dance music production.

Jealousy - Lucy 

(K-Klass Remix)

Believe the title "Oh yeah"

Love this from 1997.

I don't think I've ever come across such an aptly titled track.

Blazing Piano's totally sums this track up.

A great drive and some superb hands in the air piano.

Old skool vibe, very tasty!

Junior Camp - Blazing Pianos 

(Drunk On Funk Mix)

Lovin' this (even though it's not summer!)

I can't quite believe I've not posted this before, I certainly thought I had.

This is just a fantastic piece of dance music, almost orchestral in it's vibe.

If this doesn't make you feel like dancing well I'm sorry, but you ain't got a danceable bone in your body.

It's such an amazing uplifting track, very 70's disco vibe, but don't let that deter you if that's not your vibe.

I'd almost label this track as impossible not to enjoy!

More PDM genius.

Get on it!

Cerrone x Purple Disco Machine - Summer Lovin'  

It's a long way to come from the Dog N' Duck Karaoke machine!

Another quality track from Just Jack, love his stuff always on point.

Along with Mike Skinner (aka The Streets) they really helped to change the face of rap.

That whole style they produced was unique fresh and just felt very authentic, very matter of fact.

Here are two great versions which if I had to choose I'd probably opt for the Trophy Twins Mix (only just), as it is a touch more dancefloor focused where Ashley's version is more jazzy (but still great!).

Both very worthy of PCC status!

It's a long way to come from the Dog N' Duck Karaoke machine!

Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes 

(Trophy Twins Aftershow Remix)

Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes 

(Ashley Beedle's Saturday Night Vocal Mix)

Raise your hands, put your hands to the lord!

Love this track from the legend that is Boy George.

This is in his Jesus Loves You alter ego which covers his adoption o Buddhism and the Hari Krishna vibe.

It's a lovely piece of Balearic indie dance with some great chants and of course some delightful piano.

A real feel good vibe.

The Grid's remix work from that era was just top notch!

Jesus Loves You - Bow Down Mister 

(The Grid 'Floating In The Ganges' Mix)

See it coming back to us!

Great new track which has been a key feature of recent Keinemusik sets.

It's very much in the style we have come to expect with a gentle chilled build up and then explodes with some amazing piano chords which just feel so good.

These tracks just put you in a place and create instant adrenalin rushes.

Why do you dance, why do you move, why do you groove?

Reznik, Jesse Boykins III - Cloudy Eyes (Dance Tonight)

Plenty of Biff!

Jimmy was one of those who often divided opinion and was a touch Marmite.

I've always been a huge fan and have posted several of his great tracks on the blog as his spirit was always very much dancefloor driven.

This one has less of his vocals, but is a cracking mix by Biff and Memphis.

It gets increasingly energetic as it progresses.

Corker of a track!

Jimmy Sommerville - By Your Side 

(The Shining Mix)

Heaven awaits!

I've only just come across Simon O' Shine but have to say that some of his trance tracks are out of this world.

Banging, pumping trance in all it's glory, but laced throughout with gorgeous subtle undertones of piano.

This is just one track and there are several more gems that he's created, which will be posted in due course.

For now enjoy the amazing atmosphere of this - heavenly!

Simon O' Shine - See You Again 

(Original Mix)

Gonna, gonna find it!

A quality house banger from 1995 which never really got the air play it deserved.

It's a corking track with some great uplifting piano and some superb male vocals.

Very typical of the great club tracks of that era and still sounds great today.

I must admit it was one I that I only came across recently.

If there's a land of peace somewhere!

A gem of a find!

Ronni Simon - Take You There 

(Strike Mix)

You know I'll be good to you!

Nice little remix by Sgt Slick.

Doing what he does best just enhancing and tweaky to adapt the original.

On this one, he turns an average track into a really good one and gives it a new more danceable leases of life.

You know I'll be good to you!
 

Princess - Say I'm Your Number One 

(Sgt Slick ReCut)

A little trip down.....

Yet another spellbinding track from Fahlberg, who is right up there as one of the best current producers of new original dance music.

The piano in this is awesome alongside the deep atmospheric vibe creating a real monster of a track.

I bet this one goes down an absolute storm in the clubs.

Top notch!

Fahlberg - Memory Lane

Keep on running!

A really great new and very different remix of the Ms Bush classic.

The vocals are not dissimilar to Pink Floyd's - Another Brick In The Wall", but it's the deep progressive house vibe around the track which is really great.

It touches on the Afro House vibe, but is quicker and more pounding.

A really cracking and very effective remix.

Disfreq & mOat - Running Up That Hill

We balled and we balled and we balled!

Feel the Brush Strokes? 

No not the 80's sitcom with cheeky chappy Jacko (Karl Howman) - anyone remember that? (Showing my age now).

This is a work of trance perfection titled Brush Strokes as the producer kept on refining and tweaking to improve his work of art.

Surprisingly this track is from 2013 and not that trance golden area of the early 2000's.

The track is pounding, vibing and totally infectious constantly building and reaching some great peaks.

A bonafide PCC trance classic.

We balled and we balled and we balled!

Simon Patterson - Brush Strokes 
(Original Mix) 

Great genes!

Totally loving this track at the moment.

It's a little short (in length), but I can't find a longer version at the moment, but will update when I do.

If the vocals sound familiar it will be no surprise to people that Baxter is the son of the late great Ian Dury.

About the track, well it's just got a great groove and vibe that flows and encapsulates you with that warm, cosy feel.

Just lovely!

P.S. In case you were wondering Schadenfreude translates as "pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune".

Baxter Dury - Schadenfreude

He's got the skill!

Back to something new and current.

Heard this on Parky's great radio show this week and it instantly gripped me.

Pounding, throbbing, pulsing piece of deep house with some catchy chanted lyrics and some great voiced samples.

He's got the skill, he's got the strength, he's got the discipline!

Quality!

Warmduscher - Yakuza 

(Sworn Virgins Remix)

Trance-scending!

Truly sensational piece of trance from genius that is Laurent Christian Georges Véronnez better known under his moniker of Airwave and many other aliases.

This one comes from 1999 when trance was at it's very peak.

I think this review from Discogs by Wizhard sums it up very nicely

Higher is one of the finest work of the legendary Laurent Veronnez. 

A perfection of progressive trance, it's just impossible to stay insensitive to this one, it brings so much emotion to your ears... 

A truly artistic piece that begins with a splendid aerial instrumental break of 3 minutes before kicking in and evolving to a shattering lead sequence. 

Then the tracks starts its blossoming and reaches its final state of total bliss with gorgeous piano chords and a Balearic guitar riff... 

Maybe this is what it feels to reach the heavens of the sky?

 L-Vee - Higher

Just like the white winged dove!

This is a track which I really love and comes with a great remix.

The track is iconic in itself and was a huge influence on many teenage girls in the early 80's as Stevie Nicks was the epitome of cool.

I've always been a big Fleetwood Mac fan and Stevie's vocals are just pure class.

This remix is great because it gives it full respect to Stevie's amazing vocals and also adds that dancefloor favour.

Those "Oooh, Oooh, Oooh" vocals are just on another level.

Just like the white winged dove!

Pure class!

Enjoy!

Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen 

(PARMLEY Remix)
