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 this work of art.

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

A bonafide PCC trance classic.

(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!

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!
