However, it is nicely done and brings a certain charm in it's own right, and it is certainly a PCC.
However, it should have been classified as a remix of the Push track and paid homage and respect to that.
That said dance music is in itself full of pillaging and ripping other artists material.
Just enjoy the music is my take!
DJ I.C.O.N. - Voco Me
(Flim Flam Remix)
I much prefer Nick Bracegirdle's work under his Disco Citizens moniker as opposed to his work as Chicane.
The Disco Citizens work was so much more underground and layered with great piano.
This one takes a while to build, but when that piano kicks it just sets on fire!
Disco Citizens - Disco's Revenge
I thought a lot of their remix work was very long, repetitious and frankly a bit boring.
However, I think this track was a masterpiece.
A real thing of beauty which was just so great to listen to in any environment.
Bliss.
Deep Dish - Say Hello
(Club Mix)
This was a massive track at Back To Basics back in 1993 and was very much at the forefront of the progressive house phenom.
Just a superb piece of dance music, hard edged, yet groovy, funky and with some great piano breakdowns.
Just massive in every sense and devastating on the dancefloor.
A true PCC!
– Rise
I'd forgotten how powerful this track was and it went dance an absolute storm and had everybody going for it.
It probably got a bit overplayed when it first came out, but glad to know it has stood the test of time very well and 25 years on is still sounding great.
Great vocals by Moony, great vibe and just a lovely feel to this track.
Very nice indeed!
DB Boulevard - Point Of View
(Club Mix)
Yes, it sounds a touch cheesy now, but didn't back int'day when it would rock the floor.
Not one of those which has aged well, but will always be a PCC in my mind as it certainly did the action back then.
Back to The End by public demand!
The End - You Drive Me Wild
(One And Only Mix)
Clivilles and Cole were just masters at creating that raw yet so exciting early house vibe.
Fierce percussion, a great groove and some great piano made for a bonafide house classic which still sounds amazing almost 40 year on.
The energy and fizz of this track knows no bounds.
This would still make any club dancefloor rock!
Seduction - Devote Yourself
(Extended Mix)
Funky, vibey and very catchy with some delightful piano chords.
Very summer Balearic vibes.
This would be perfect for Cafe Del Mar vibes.
A classy little number.
Vibe on!
Delfonic & Kapote - Phenomenon Rejam
It's a bit of a strange one, as there are parts of this I love, but then some parts which are feel just drag a bit and feel that it doesn't really reach it's full potential.
Hence, could probably do with another remix.
Maybe one for Sgt Slick to fine tune.
The piano breakdown is the standout bit by far, but even that could kick on a bit more.
A nearly track, but just achieving PCC status due to that lovely piano breakdown!
Enjoy!
Mousse T - All I Want Is The Bass
(Extended Mix)
This one isn't quite as engaging as "Promises", but is a fine slice of progressive house all the same.
Driving, fizzing from the off the track has great energy and hits all the right buttons.
Enjoy!
Whyte - Bar-Hoo
(Trinity Remix)
Heard it on Parky's ace radio show this week and it immediately hit home.
This will be a big smash in Ibiza this year.
Yes, you heard it here.
By the way it is nothing like the old Ultracynic classic.
Great, groovy, summer track, just lovely.
I wanna feel what you're feelin'!
Kraak & Smaak and Kosta G - Nothing is Forever
(Yuksek Remix)
Cracking remix from Mousse T of the old Bobby Hebb track from wait for it - 1966 - 60 years ago.
The Boney M cover came in 1976 which is still 50 years old!
Just wow!
This version is very disco and very catchy - I love the bits that go "Aww".
Just a great feel good track.
Enjoy!
Boney M - Sunny
(Mousse T. Sexy Disco Club Mix)
This one is from 1990 and contains loads of great hands in the air piano.
Not dissimilar to a few other old skool tracks, but this one is a pretty unknown track and hopefully the PCC blog helps to share this with the wider dancefloor community!
A real old skool gem!
Dance Time - Sentimento Nuevo
That was such an exciting time musically as it was an era of people experimenting so much with all the new sounds and technology they were hearing.
The tracks back then mixed a bit of house, loads of samples and a bit of all sorts chucked together, all very raw but all very effective and most importantly still sounding great all these years on.
This is a real mish-mash of a whole load of different vibes, much just feels good!
Coco Steel & Lovebomb - Miracles (I Don't Believe In)
Love this and 36 years on it still feels great.
Those new beat tracks mixed with house and even pop tracks, the style perfected by Alfredo were just pure aural pleasure.
Danny Rampling was also a champion of that vibe when he brought the Alfredo magic back to the UK via Shoom.
Top notch.
Megabeat - Es Imposible No Puede Ser
It has been played quite a bit recently on Parky's great radio show.
Very Giorgio Moroder in style, but very good.
It captivates from start to finish and I bet it goes down a treat on the dancefloor.
Just lovely!
Storken & farfetch’d - Buffidisco
The Voodoo Child Mix is a great remix by Moby, gosh that boy had some talent and is behind so many amazing dance floor tracks and many that appear on the blog.
Some of the tracks from this era just had a special feel to them and this is one very much in that category.
I've also included the HP Saucey Mix, although not as good, still has a nice feel and is a little more Ibizan Balearic in style, Justin Robertson on the remix on that one.
Both great tracks well worth a listen and rightly deserve PCC status!
Enjoy!
Fortran 5 - Heart On The Line
(Voodoo Child Mix)
Fortran 5 - Heart On The Line
(HP Saucey Mix)
Salt 'N' Pepa were known for Hip-Hop, but I'd class this as very much more Hip-House due to the great Ben Liebrand remix.
Some great piano throughout, some great rapping from S 'N' P and just a great Hip-House groove.
Very tasty indeed!
Gotta be you and only you!
Salt 'N' Pepa - Expression
(Ben Liebrand's Hard Ecu Mix)
I'm surprised I've not posted this before now as this was a big track and one played often.
Sounds a little dated now, but that piano choons vibe from 1991 was one of the greatest times in clubbing history and the vibe in clubs back then was second to none.
The good old days when hands in the air was obligatory.
Great times, great memories.
Emotion - We're On The Move
A little on the cheesy side, but nice all the same.
Some great piano and nice catchy female vocals, look out for the key change as well.
Not one which was played out to often but a catchy little number and credible enough to claim PCC status.
Nick Hussey behind this and many a great old skool track.
There ain't no need to worry!
Emotion - Release Yourself
Superb vocals as always from Jocelyn,
Equally superb (as always also) from Steve "Silk".
It got a great little groove to it this track and the piano is just icing on the cake.
A quality piece of house music from 1998.
Jestofunk feat. Jocelyn Brown – Special Love
(Silk's Special House Mix)
Well about this track, it's just sensational, great vocals by Chazzie, remix and production by Roger Sanchez and just some delightful old skool piano throughout.
Throw in loads of samples, some great shout outs and you have a total PCC.
Still sounds amazing even though it's 35 years old.
Pure class!
Ooh I say!
Beatboxx feat Chazzie - Keep On Jumpin
(Subclub Mix)
It pains me that his amazing legacy is somewhat tarnished and he's not remembered in the way that much lesser musicians were.
He was a truly one in a generation artist and I only have positive thoughts and beliefs of him.
His vocals and whole presence in the songs he created were just on another level.
This is a much more laid back, very soulful and much more Balearic than dancefloor, but nonetheless wonderful.
Michael will always remain as one of the great artists to have walked this plant and I will only ever have the utmost respect for his influence on music.
RIP MJ! You came and changed my world!
Michael Jackson - Liberian Girl
(Ben Liebrand Remix)
This has so much energy and so many different gears, it's relentless, but always pulsating and throbbing.
A really fine piece of top class trance, with some delightful breakdowns.
It really is a fanastic track so so much variety, twist and turns.
Definitely one which should have been bigger and right up there with some of the finest trance tracks.
Timeless classic that would rock any dancefloor.
Mauro Picotto - Iguana
(Blank & Jones Remix)
Another corking new track which I heard recently on Parky's quality radio show.
Love all Eric Kupper's remix work as you always know it's going to be laden with great piano.
This is no exception combined with some excellent vocals and a super slick production and you have a bonafide PCC.
A fine piece of quality house music.
Leyla Chatti has a big future, as her vocal prowess is top class.
I am alive, breathing again, finally!
Thomas Blondet feat. Leyla Chatti - Everywhere
(Eric Kupper Remix)
This is a sensational new track which sounds amazing and has been featured on Parky's great radio show.
Great production and remix work by the disco legend that is Dave Lee (formerly known as Joey Negro).
This is a fantastic piece of disco-tastic delirium.
It's lively, funky, energetic and throbs and pulses in all the right places.
Right on brother!
Foreal People - Tango Hustle
(Dave Lee Latican Hustle)
This was played near the end of his set and again it sounded brilliant and got a great recpetion.
It has always been a great track, but I always thought a touch commercial, but I was surprised how great and powerful it is on the dancefloor.
It certainly had me throwing a few shapes as the groove was pretty hypnotic and just made you want to vibe long.
Lovely jubbly!
DB Boulevard - Point Of View
(Club Mix)
I love the fierce new beats in this and it is a fine remix by David Penn who is certainly one of the best in the business at the moment.
This track used to be a really annoying ear worm, but this mix totally transforms it with some delightful piano chords it is now a proper anthem and certainly worthy of PCC status.
Ear worm + fine remix = Club classic!
Enjoy.
Blue Boy - Remember Me
(David Penn Extended Remix)
I enjoyed having a great little boogie to this.
It was always my favourite Prince track and this mix makes it proper dancefloor friendly.
Needless to say it went down perfectly and was great to groove along to.
Prince & The Revolution - Raspberry Beret
(Sgt Slick's Discotizer ReCut)
It was at the Old Woollen in Farsley, Leeds and the great man didn't let me down and played some absolute corkers. The vast majority of tracks he played are already on the blog, but I'm going to post a few choice cuts which went down a storm.
It was a great event with an older crowd who knew their music and Parky was just pure class.
This one was great to hear and comes courtesy of a fine bit of modern tinkering by the Sgt.
The "wrapped in your arms" bit always hits me deep.
The instruments and production on this are just exquisite, not to mention the glorious vocals.
Amazing to think this track is nearly 50 years old, totally timeless.
Enjoy!
Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Shame
(Sgt Slick's Discotizer Reconstruction)
